Städtebau im Nationalsozialismus und in den Diktaturen Europas: Buchvorstellung und Diskussion

In the organizer's words:

Urban planning was an essential instrument (not only) of the Nazi dictatorship. - In the book "Städtebau im Nationalsozialismus", urban planning under the Nazi dictatorship is examined for the first time not only in its extraordinary dynamics, but also in the context of other European dictatorships of the time. A book presentation with the authors will take place at the Baukunstarchiv NRW on November 4.

Between 1933 and 1945, the major themes of urban development, the most important players, the content of the propaganda, the cities and types of areas affected, the programs and practices, the winners and losers changed several times. The result is a multi-layered picture that goes beyond the usual presentation of well-known representative buildings and also takes into account central aspects such as housing construction, old town renewal, internal colonization, buildings for rearmament and the construction of large-scale infrastructure, industrial areas, educational institutions and camps.
