Here Comes the Sun looks at how social reformers, planners and architects in the early twentieth century tried to remake the city in the image of a sunlit, ordered utopia. While much has been written about architectural modernism, Worpole concentrates less on buildings and more on the planning of the spaces in-between – the parks, public squares, open-air museums, promenades, public pools and other public leisure facilities. Worpole demonstrates how open-air public spaces became sought - after commissions for many early modernist architects in the early 1900s, resulting in the transformation of the European cityscape.
