This comprehensive and richly illustrated book provides an overview of the last hundred years of Estonian urban development. The authors discuss these changes primarily within the framework of architectural history, but also in a broader cultural context, presenting both realized and unrealized plans, the ideas that shaped them, and social and economic factors. The most important topics are housing, i.e. the need to provide decent housing for an ever-growing population, and the post-war reconstruction work that was supposed to make the cities better than ever before. The book helps to understand the reasons for the changes in urban planning that have shaped Estonian cities over the last century as we know them today.
