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."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aCity planning$xHistory$zOntario$zToronto$y20th century 606 $aSuburbs$xHistory$zCzech Republic$zPrague$y20th century 606 $aSuburbs$xHistory$zOntario$zToronto$y20th century 607 $aCzech Republic$zPrague$2fast 607 $aOntario$zToronto$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aCity planning$xHistory 615 0$aSuburbs$xHistory 615 0$aSuburbs$xHistory 676 $a307.7609713541 686 $acci1icc$2lacc 700 $aLogan$b Steven$f1974-$01252355 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910585557403321 996 $aIn the suburbs of history$92903323 997 $aUNINA
