It asks how the development of airpower and the targeting of cities influenced perceptions of urban spaces and visions of urban futures from the interwar period into the Cold War, highlighting the importance of war and the anticipation of war in modern urban history. Airpower created a permanent threat to cities and civilians, and this book considers how architects, planners and government officials reframed bombing as an ongoing urban problem, rather than one contingent to a particular conflict. It draws on archival material from local and national government, architectural and town planning journals and cultural texts, to demonstrate how cities were recast as targets, and planning for defence and planning for development became increasingly entangled. 606 $aUrbanization$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPublic spaces$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAir warfare$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAir power$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aAir war. 610 $aArchitecture. 610 $aCivil defence. 610 $aCold War. 610 $aMilitarisation. 610 $aModern Britain. 610 $aModern warfare. 610 $aSecond World War. 610 $aTown planning. 610 $aUrban planning. 610 $aUrbanism. 610 $aWar. 615 0$aUrbanization$xHistory 615 0$aPublic spaces$xHistory 615 0$aAir warfare$xHistory 615 0$aAir power$xHistory 676 $a358.4094109041 700 $aPage$b Adam$f1966-$01714144 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822271303321 996 $aArchitectures of survival$94107697 997 $aUNINA
