About the book

Urban planning was a key instrument of the National Socialist dictatorship. It served to legitimize rule and demonstrate strength, it accompanied rearmament and war, it conveyed the socio-political programme, it was a medium of competition with other states, it bound old and new experts to the regime and systematically marginalized population groups. In this book, urban planning under the Nazi dictatorship is examined for the first time not only in its extraordinary dynamics, but also in the context of other European dictatorships of the time.
