About the book
Urban planning was a keystone in the materialization of the Nordic welfare states. The post-war urban landscape was characterized by division of functions and its open spaces. However, strategies have changed over the decades as models of development have shifted and as the needs of society and a warming planet have come into focus.
Architect Ellen Braae outlines the origins, development, challenges, and lived realities of the changing welfare city in the Nordic countries.
