But two currents undermine this vision from within: an Arcadianism which turns to a rural idyll as retreat from change and the effects of industrialization; and an instrumentalism by which the humane vision becomes prescriptive and anti-democratic. Malcolm Miles argues that these two currents undermine modernism’s progressive vision. This book examines the roots of modernist urbanism in the seamless, self-contained systems of Cartesian space; and identifies contradictions within modernist urbanism in its instrumentalism and reliance on de-politicised professional expertise. Miles adroitly reviews the postmodern culture of industrial ruinscapes; and posits that if cities are to be places of proximity, diversity, mobility and agency, this will require a move from modernist instrumentalism to a creative and radically democratic co-production of the built environment.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | urban design; cultural geography; arcadianism; urban culture; urban redevelopment; arcadia; utopia; dystopi | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-6341-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-981-15-6343-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-981-15-6341-6 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapor |
