Using this general perspective and extending the scope by including Eastern and Southern Europe the dominant view of Europe’s prewar cities as islands of modernity is challenged and the ubiquity of urban violence established as a central analytical problem.Studies in Central European Histories57.Cities and townsEurope19th centuryCity planningSocial aspectsEurope19th centuryUrban policyEurope19th centuryElectronic books.Cities and townsCity planningSocial aspectsUrban policy307.76094Lenger Friedrich241821MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462113203321European cities in the modern era, 18502235287UNINA
