Mijn grootvader regeerde lang over de stadsplanning van Amsterdam, om precies te zijn van 1928 toen hij directeur werd van de net opgerichte afdeling Stadsontwikkeling tot aan zijn pensionering in 1952. Het waren opwindende jaren, vooral natuurlijk de tijd waarin het nu fameuze Algemeen Uitbreidingsplan (1935) tot stand kwam, dat voorzag in de bouw van zogenaamde tuinsteden, zoals Bos en Lommer, Geuzeveld en Osdorp. Deze ontwikkeling paste in een bredere ontwikkeling van stadsplanning, die een antwoord wilde geven op wat toen 'de sociale kwestie' werd genoemd. Nu zeventig jaar later worden de

Die israelische Stadtplanung begann nicht erst mit Gründung des Staates im Jahre 1948. Bereits in den Schriften des Vordenkers eines jüdischen Staatswesens, Theodor Herzl, finden sich zahlreiche städtebauliche Visionen für einen künftigen Judenstaat. Jüdische Architekten, mehrheitlich aus dem deutschen Sprachraum stammend und an deutschen Architekturhochschulen ausgebildet, entwarfen vor und nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg Stadtpläne und Architekturphantasien für ein neues Zion. Zu ihnen zählten der Wiener Baurat Wilhelm Stiassny, der Berliner Regierungsbaumeister Alex Baerwald oder der renommierte Architekt Erich Mendelsohn. Ihr gemeinsames Planungsideal war die Gartenstadt, ein soziales und städtebauliches Reformkonzept, das zeitgleich in Europa zahlreich Verbreitung fand und Ausdruck eines neuen Planungsansatzes im Städtebau war. Der reich bebilderte Band fasst erstmals die zionistischen Stadtplanungsvisionen zusammen, hinterfragt ihren ideengeschichtlichen Ansatz und konfrontiert sie mit den gebauten Realitäten: von der Gründung Tel Avivs bis zu den jüdischen Gartenvororten von Jerusalem und Haifa, die in den 1920er Jahren nach den Plänen von Richard Kauffmann errichtet wurden.

Case studies include Phoenix, Fresno and Flint.
