GROSSSTADT GESTALTEN. STADTBAUMEISTER IN DEUTSCHLAND

What do Fritz Schumacher in Hamburg, Ludwig Hoffmann and Martin Wagner in Berlin, Theodor Fischer in Munich or Ernst May and Martin Elsaesser in Frankfurt have in common? It is the fact that they all had a decisive influence on shaping their cities and became outstanding personalities in the histories of those cities. This volume provides the first-ever overview of the tasks and visions of those urban planning experts and discusses contemporary players in municipal urban planning. That can lead to ideas and recommendations for modern practice which result from those eras, which are seen as exemplary. Vol. 5
