"This collection illustrates the evolving role of housing as a symbol of modernity, a tool for economic recovery, and a response to societal transitions. It argues that understanding earlier efforts to integrate well-being in the 20th century can provide valuable insights for contemporary actors in the built environment who are working to address these issues today. As such, it explores and shines light on this lesser-known history, drawing on case studies it focuses on the intersection of public housing, well-being, and social change in the aftermath of the Second World War. With case studies from the UK, US, Singapore, Japan, Germany, China, and Spain, this volume provides insights into how these countries have shaped the values, designs, and institutions of their dwellings. By incorporating diverse cultural contexts, it contributes to a nuanced understanding of housing dynamics and well-being. Through a multidisciplinary lens, this volume encourages a re-evaluation of living conditions and fundamental values, emphasizing the dynamic interplay between humans, their social environment, and diverse living environments. This book is essential for scholars, researchers, professionals, students, policymakers, and practitioners in cultural history, architecture, planning, urban studies, sociology, education, and public policy"-- Provided by publisher.
