This question is the main theme of this beautifully designed book that provides, through images and text, a critical examination ofEastern and Western European cities in light of the 2004 unification. In planning euphoria and the building of a completely new society based on rational and scientific principles, we can glimpse a mirroring of the ideas and views of Communist politicians, architects, and urban planners. The city is used here as a vehicle for the exploration of these key issues. Edited by Mieke Dings. Essays by Jorn Duwel, Wolfgang Kil, Gyorgy Konrad, Bohadan Tscherkes and Anna Tilroe. Paperback, 6.5 x9.5 in./184 pgs / 75 color and 50 b&w.
