Abstract

The post-war reconstruction of bombed British cities such as Coventry, Birmingham and Plymouth has been documented (e.g. Hubbard et al. in Planning Perspectives, 18(4): 377–397, 2003a; Landscape Research, 28(2): 147–169, 2003b; Adams in Planning Perspectives, 26(2): 237–260, 2011; Essex and Brayshay in Planning Perspectives, 22(4): 417– 441 2007), wherein much focus has been on the challenges of creating a Modernistmodern modernist urban ‘utopia’, one promising contemporary notions of progress and better living. Such visions, facilitated by a post-war ‘blank canvas’, necessarily impacted upon how these cities that had grown organically, authentically, prior to hostilities would in future be experienced, as they were replaced by rational, utilitarian projects.
