Vast programmes of mass housing  high-rise, low-rise, state-funded, and built in the modernist style  became a truly global phenomenon, leaving a legacy which has suffered waves of disillusionment in the West but which is now seeing a dramatic, 21st-century renaissance in the booming, crowded cities of East Asia.  Providing a global approach to the history of Modernist mass-housing production, this authoritative study combines architectural history with the broader social, political, cultural aspects of mass housing  particularly the mass' politics of power and state-building throughout the 20th cent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is the great achievement of this project that it takes a truly global perspective while also stressing the distinctive differences that separate one nation from another… No serious student of modern architecture can afford to be without Glendinning’s \u003ci\u003eMass Housing\u003c\/i\u003e. It will become the standard work on the subject. * Literary Review *\u003cbr\u003eThis book should find a place on the shelves of many; politicians, policy advisers, civil servants and, as an invaluable textbook for advanced students in a range of disciplines. It is lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs and is unlikely to be superseded for many years. * Journal of Contemporary European Studies *\u003cbr\u003eMagisterial and illuminating ... Glendinning is a compelling storyteller ... Mass Housing is an extraordinary achievement. * C20 Society Journal *\u003cbr\u003eThis book will prove invaluable as a new resource for housing historians. In skilfully relating architectural form to the broader social and political contexts, it will also be insightful for academics and students in a range of disciplines and policy makers concerned with housing delivery and heritage conservation. * Journal of Contemporary History *\u003cbr\u003eBoth sweeping and detailed, \u003ci\u003eMass Housing\u003c\/i\u003e is about more than massive housing or even housing for 'the masses'. It is an ambitious and broadly-comparative inquiry into the globally-felt political need to undertake such quests, revealing and illustrating surprisingly diverse architectural expressions. * Lawrence Vale, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThis book comprehensively dismantles the caricatured view of modernist mass housing as homogenous, repetitive and ill-suited to the diversity of contemporary urban life. In its place, Miles Glendinning offers a fresh perspective on the formal inventiveness, social complexity, global reach and sheer problem-solving spirit that this architecture embodies. * Stephen Cairns, ETH Zurich, Switzerland \/ Future Cities Lab, Singapore *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cb\u003eAcknowledgements \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e INTRODUCTION \u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eCuius regio, eius religio\u003c\/i\u003e – the multiple modernities of housing Mass housing – spearhead of radical modernisation Methodological challenges and constraints: balancing narrative and geography     \u003cb\u003ePART A: MID 19th-CENTURY TO 1945 - \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe gathering storm\u003c\/b\u003e   \u003cb\u003e1.
