  • Plannen over de grenzen heen. Een vakgebied in wording op het Internationale Stedenbouwcongres van 1924
    Anne Schram, Kees Doevendans

    In the summer of 1924 close to 500 people from 28 different countries visited Amsterdam in order to into immerse themselves in the town planning challenges of their day. Dividing lines separating national developments were transcended in substantive discussions about an emerging discipline. At that time, urbanization was generally perceived as a rapid, autonomous and disastrous process that resulted in unmanageable metropolises with a rapidly declining quality of life.

    During the conference, special attention was paid to ideas on regional planning: plans that spanned municipal...
