Urban renewal under National Socialism: Practical policy and political objectives in Hitler's Germany
Shortly after the National Socialists came to power in 1933, a number of German towns and cities had already embarked on urban renewal programmes. Most made use of existing plans. These had not previously been carried out because the municipalities had given priority in the 1920s to building new housing in their outer districts, and because after 1930 they did not have the resources to apply slum clearance and renewal techniques to arrest the growing decay of unmodernised city centres at a time of national financial crisis. This article uses a sample of cities (Braunschweig, Breslau and Frankfurt) to show in detail how, and how far, the post‐1933 renewal programme harmonised in economic and ideological terms with National Socialist policy.
