In this book the author looks at how social reformers, planners and architects in the early twentieth century tried to remake the city in the image of a sunlit, ordered utopia. The author concentrates less on buildings and more on the planning of spaces in between them - the parks, public squares, open-air museums, promenades, public pools and other leisure facilities.1-86189-073-7
