This book uncovers the largely forgotten history of these distinctive glass cases and the urban models they displayed. It examines how they transformed planning from a behind-closed-doors expert practice into a visible public matter, while revealing the tensions between communication and participation, transparency and control. Drawing on extensive archival research and a rich body of historical photographs, the book brings this overlooked chapter of West Berlin’s urban history back into view.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe companion volume \u003cem\u003ePublic Urban Models Paris\u003c\/em\u003e traces a parallel history in the French context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eReveals a forgotten chapter of West Berlin's urban history\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrames public model displays as sites of tension between transparency and control\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtensive, rarely-seen archival photography\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Maxime Zaugg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49348171563259,"sku":"9783986123765","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/public-urban-models-in-berlin-9783986123765","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
