Lecture 38: Edge Cities and the Crisis of the Object

What this episode covers

The thirty-eighth lecture in Doug Allen's History of Urban Form series draws cities firmly into the modern age. It begins with Radburn, New Jersey, and then explores Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye, Plan Voisin, and Ville Radieuse as exemplary works of the Modern era. The lecture identifies key elements of the Modernist movement and connects them to city planning principles during the 20th Century. Note: Unfortunately the audio for this lecture is truncated, but the later slides address modern-day planning and urban processes.
