20 Century Urban Design in the Netherlands

This richly illustrated book introduces the reader to Dutch urban design in the twentieth century. Ten concise chapters, each covering a single decade, provide an orderly picture of the principal developments in the field of urban planning and design which are presented here for the first time in an accessible fashion. The book presents a large number of important and distinctive designs and realizations from the various decades -- by such celebrated designers as H.P. Berlage, C. van Eesteren and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, but also by less well-known urban designers and planners. While the impact of these designers continues to be felt today, the spatial design of the Netherlands is now in the hands of a new generation.Ibelings, Hans is the author of '20 Century Urban Design in the Netherlands' with ISBN 9789056620820 and ISBN 9056620827.
