It argues that understanding earlier efforts to integrate well-being in the twentieth century can provide valuable insights for contemporary actors in the built environment who are working to address these issues today. As such, it explores and shines light on this lesser-known history, drawing on case studies, it focuses on the intersection of public housing, well-being and social change in the aftermath of the Second World War. With case studies from the UK, US, Singapore, Japan, Germany, China and Spain, this volume provides insights into how these countries have shaped the values.
