Summary: "Helmut Holzapfel's Urbanism and Transport in Germany, a bestseller in its own country, now available in English, examines the history and the future of urban design for transport in major European cities. Holzapfel shows the social impact of the automobile throughout German and European history, and the cultural, political, and economic processes that promoted it. From the unlikely birth of the automobile in Germany, and its shared history with the fascist government of 1933-1945, to new models of "shared space" and street and settlement networks, Holzapfel shows how the car has shaped the urban fabric of Europe, from roads, to neighborhoods and houses, to the city at large. Focusing not just on planning, but on historical, architectural, and economic factors, Urbanism and Transport in Germany offers new vistas and solutions to problems of urban sprawl and automobile-centric urban design"--Provided by publisher.
