Ioanna Piniara argues that this gets the chronology wrong and the mechanism wrong with it. Privatisation, on her reading, was a postwar urban strategy long before it was a policy — a slow reorganisation of the ethos and culture of housing, in which the state was never the market's opponent but its steady partner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe consequence is the book's title. If the state and the private sector jointly authored a pedagogy of domestic privacy, then the neoliberal idea of the private as institutionally autonomous does not survive contact with the evidence. The private, Piniara contends, has hardly existed as such at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA typological study rather than a policy history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree cities read as a single chronological vector: London, Berlin, Athens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-colour throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraphic design by Olga Pipnik\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow postwar housing schemes taught particular habits of domestic privacy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy the state's role in privatisation was partnership rather than retreat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe arc from neoliberal anticipation in London to severe crisis in Athens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat a typological method can surface that policy analysis misses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIoanna Piniara is an architect and researcher whose work addresses housing, domesticity and the politics of the private realm in contemporary Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Softcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.0 × 21.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 239\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781638401346\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Actar Publishers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHousing researchers and policy people, architects working on social and affordable housing, and readers of critical urban theory who want the argument grounded in actual buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Actar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49064103313633,"sku":"9781638401346","price":79.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1116\/0464\/files\/9781638401346.jpg?v=1788937976","url":"https:\/\/bookshopbyuro.com\/products\/we-have-never-been-private-the-housing-project-in-neoliberal-europe","provider":"Bookshop by Uro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
