Wright, Gwendolyn.

The politics of design in French colonial urbanism / Gwendolyn Wright.

Chicago : University of Chicago Press, ©1991.

viii, 389 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm

"Politics and culture are at once semi-autonomous and intertwined. Nowhere is this more revealingly illustrated than in urban design, a field that encompasses architecture and social life, traditions and modernization. Here aesthetic goals and political intentions meet, sometimes in collaboration, sometimes in conflict. Here the formal qualities of art confront the complexities of history. When urban design policies are implemented, they reveal underlying aesthetic, cultural, and political dilemmas with startling clarity". --Publisher.
