It is a BOOK IN PROGRESS, initiated by Crimson Historians and Urbanists in cooperation with INTI. At this moment, some chapters are already available, each in itself the size of a book and independently readable. In due time there will be more chapters, added one by one. Eventually, the book will be printed in one volume of about 1800 pages. But this will take a while and the authors and hopefully also the audience simply can’t wait that long. These are essays that are meant partake in the many discussions on urban planning especially in the developing world. Before taking the definitive step to the printer, Crimson invites readers to give their comments and/or advice by sending an email to: crimson@crimsonweb.org
Here you can read the book, in three parts:
– Part 1, The First Generation New Towns in the West and the Eastern Block
– Part 2, Urban Planning as a Weapon in the Cold War
– Part 3, Critique from the Inside-Out on the Diagrams of the New Towns
