Summary:

"This book introduces the reader to Dutch urban design in the twentieth century. Ten concise chapters, each covering a single decade, provide a picture of the principal developments in the field of urban planning and design." "The book presents a large number of important and distinctive designs and realizations from the various decades - by such designers as H. P. Berlage, C. van Eesteren and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, but also by less well-known urban designers and planners." "As well as documenting the plans themselves, this book also sheds light on such background details as the development of urban planning as an independent discipline and shifting opinions about spatial policy and the important role played in it by government."--BOOK JACKET.
