Somewhere between 1910 and 1970, architecture changed. Expensive buildings were transformed from ornamental fancies into strikingly plain relfections of novel materials, functions, and technologies. Modern architecture promised the transformation of cities from overcrowded conurbations to spacious realms of generous housing and clean mechanized production set in parkland. Adam Sharr tells the story of how modern architecture developed and produced its powerful cultural images, and considers the new building materials and techniques, such as concrete, steel, and air conditioning, which shaped modern buildings.

Urban Politics in Early Modern Europe is an important survey of the complex relationships between urban politics and regional and national politics in Europe from 1500 to 1789. In an era when the national state was far less developed than today, crucial decisions about economic, religious and social policy were often settled at the municipal level. Cities were frequently the scenes of sudden tensions or bitter conflicts between ordinary citizens and the urban elite, and the threat of civic unrest often underlay the political dynamics of early modern cities. With vivid descriptions

The 1835 Municipal Reform Act is both a consequence and a continuation of the 1832 Reform Act. By dealing with those "citadels of Torysm" that were the municipal corporations, the Whigs not only wanted to confirm their electoral victory, but also to reform the local system that had been largely criticised for decades. Preceding the reform, a thorough investigation was conducted by a group of twenty commissioners - young liberal or radical lawyers - who visited 285 municipal corporations in En.

This monograph aims at a deeper understanding of the process of multilevel governance and the formation of regional policies, with focus on major Czech and German cities. Recent literature has frequently identified a "large" city as a specific agent in the context of the processes of increased European integration. In the light of the existing literature in this field, some possible variables have been identified, demonstrating a strong probability of intervention; these became the basis for the formulation of supporting research questions constructed to find answers to the main research question.

"City-regions are areas where the daily journeys for work, shopping and leisure frequently cross administrative boundaries. They are seen as engines of the national economy, but are also facing congestion and disparities. Thus, all over the world, governments attempt to increase problem-solving capacities in city-regions by institutional reform and a shift of functions. This book analyzes the recent reforms and changes in the governance of city-regions in France, Germany and Italy. It covers themes such as the impact of austerity measures, territorial development, planning and state modernization. The authors provide a systematic cross-country perspective on two levels, between six city-regions and between the national policy frameworks in these three countries. They use a solid comparative framework, which refers to the four dimensions functions of institutions and governance, ideas and space. They describe the course of the reforms, the motivations and the results, and consequently, they question the widespread metropolitan fever or resurgence of city-regions and provide a better understanding of recent changes in city-regional governance in Europe. The primary readership will be researchers and master students in planning, urban studies, urban geography, political science and governance studies, especially those interested in metropolitan regions and / or decentralization. Due to the uniqueness of the work, the book will be of particular interest to scholars working on the comparative European dimension of territorial governance and planning"-- Provided by publisher.
