Summary:In the decades following World War II, ambitious building programs were launched across Europe to secure social prosperity. Scandinavia, in particular, underwent an intensive phase of modernization aimed at distributing wealth equally. However, developments in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway followed different paths, and their welfare models were modified, contested, and copied over time. This book examines how architecture, once considered a medium for general well-being, inclusion, and political participation, is now often associated with the opposite: alienation, exclusion, and segregation. The volume offers new perspectives on the history and redesign of post-war architecture and urbanity.
