Such claims position Copenhagen as an opportune site to engage in a wider debate on contemporary urban ideals, prompting questions such as: What is sustainability or livability? On whose terms are these concepts defined? What agendas are included or excluded? The increasing authority attributed to city-ranking metrics prompts a second line of inquiry. How are the territorial and conceptual limits of a city drawn to define it as an object of measurement? What is Copenhagen as a territory in this case – the urban core, the municipality, the urbanized area, the regional urban system, or…? And how does this impact our understanding of something as complex and manifold as a city?

More than 50 estates and buildings from throughout Europe and the United Kingdom are presented in this detailed compendium of post-war housing, which delves into how this renewal process was implemented. Comparisons reveal universal themes, as well as local aspects integrated in the architecture. As a whole, the research forms the basis for a fresh assessment of buildings from this period. Contrary to the generally negative image they have received, the projects are highly diverse, experimental, and specific to the local context.

La fausse ville, dont la construction était prévue près de Maisons-Laffitte, au nord-ouest de la capitale, reproduisait certains éléments marquants du paysage parisien : un bras de Seine, la place de l'Étoile et celle de l'Opéra, les Grands Boulevards. Certaines cibles que les aviateurs auraient cherché à repérer, comme les gares, devaient également être reproduites. Conçu à une époque où les aviateurs naviguaient sans radar et pouvaient être trompés, de nuit, par de fausses illuminations, ce projet n'a pas fait la preuve de son efficacité... Xavier Boissel dévoile les détails de cette ville-leurre dans un texte fourmillant et littéraire, agrémenté de documents d'époque inédits.
