In the Suburbs of History overcomes the divisions between East and West to reassemble the shared histories of modern architecture and urbanism as it shaped and re-shaped the periphery. Drawing on archives, interviews, architectural journals, and site visits to the peripheries of Prague and Toronto, Steven Logan reveals the intertwined histories of capitalist and socialist urban planning. From socialist utopias to the capitalist visions of the edge city, the history of the suburbs is not simply a history of competing urban forms; rather, it is a history of alternatives that advocated collective solutions over the dominant model of single-family home ownership and car-dominated spaces."--Provided by publisher.City planningHistoryOntarioToronto20th centurySuburbsHistoryCzech RepublicPrague20th centurySuburbsHistoryOntarioToronto20th centuryCzech RepublicPraguefastOntarioTorontofastHistory.fastCity planningHistorySuburbsHistorySuburbsHistory307.7609713541cci1icclaccLogan Steven1974-1252355MiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK996580165003316In the suburbs of history2903323UNISA
