Presents a history of spatial development in postwar Switzerland through 250 images. The authors draw on a vast collection of photographs found in archives of all sorts: local government offices, building companies, local and national newspapers, publishers of postcards, cultural heritage societies, and amateur photographers. This carefully assembled volume looks specifically at a suburb of Zurich and a world-famous mountain resort region, arranging images of each location in chronological sequence for an easy visual comparison, offering a novel way to understand the urban transformation of Switzerland since World War II.
