Blick zurück oder nach vorn? Städtebauliche Vorbilder, Visionen und Konzepte des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts

Early 20th-century urban planning in Saltaire, England, exemplifies the intersection of social reform and innovative infrastructure solutions. The study reveals how industrialist Titus Salt's vision for Saltaire addressed critical housing and infrastructural challenges faced by rapidly growing industrial cities. By integrating pre-designed worker housing with gardens, modern amenities, and efficient traffic management, Saltaire set a precedent that influenced urban development across Europe well into the mid-20th century. The research approach analyzes historical records, architectural plans, and social dynamics to dissect how visionary concepts translated into tangible urban solutions, highlighting the tension between idealism and practical implementation in early modern city planning.
