The authors employ a broad focus and look at metropolitan cities between Helsinki and Athens, Warsaw and Moscow. The period under investigation begins with the 1890s when East European societies entered an 'age of great acceleration' and stops with the outbreak of World War II which not only destroyed but also socially and ethnically altered many metropolitan cities of Eastern Europe. While before the First World War most of Eastern Europe was subsumed in the Habsburg, Romanov, and Ottoman empires, new (nation-) states and socialist ideologies shaped post-1918 urban development. For the majority of the new capitals created by the post-war order the state remained the main proponent of change. Both, historical preconditions--the economic situation, the legacy of the empires--and the experience of the upheaval of 1917/18 contributed to this particularity of the region. On the other hand Western Europe and her urban experts continued to be and became even stronger points of reference. The volume discusses the peculiar relationship between state, city and the challenges of modernity in the Eastern Europe with a focus on urban planning in the wider sense of the word. In particular, the different chapters of the book ask how far--given the omnipresent, albeit often idealized example of Western metropolitan cities--a 'reflective modernization' may be identified as a common marker of cities in the region under observation"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aCities and towns$zEurope, Eastern$xGrowth$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aCities and towns$zEurope, Eastern$xGrowth$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSocial change$zEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aCity planning$zEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aCity and town life$zEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aCapitals (Cities)$zEurope, Eastern$xHistory 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xSocial conditions$y19th century 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xSocial conditions$y20th century 610 $aArchitecture, City planning, Growth, Modernization, Social change, Urban history, Urban studies. 615 0$aCities and towns$xGrowth$xHistory 615 0$aCities and towns$xGrowth$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory. 615 0$aCity planning$xHistory. 615 0$aCity and town life$xHistory. 615 0$aCapitals (Cities)$xHistory. 676 $a307.760947 702 $aBehrends$b Jan C. 702 $aKohlrausch$b Martin 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786768003321 996 $aRaces to modernity$93806774 997 $aUNINA
