Abstract (en)

Ghirardo studies the Italian new towns founded 1928-1940 (including Mussolini's birthplace, Predappio) for purposes of Fascist propaganda, as well as the building programs of the New Deal (e.g., cooperative homesteads, greenbelt towns, and migrant camps), also conceived as propaganda tools. Cities of childhood is the catalogue of an exhibition held in 1988 at the Architectural Association in London, centering on the summer camps for workers' children built and run by the Italian state in the 1930s, comprising over 3800 buildings.
