An Invitation for Civilization: Searching for the Ideal Community in Postwar Europe

We are pleased to invite contributions to our edited volume, which explores the idea of a “postwar social consensus” and the various attempts at constructing ideal communities during the “long 1950s” throughout Europe. The book is a collection of five to six chapters that analyze the development of urban (or urban style) structures for social organization in comparative, transnational perspective.
