In the context of the book, the happy – or at least happier – life is mostly based on affordable and/or sustainable housing, raised by motivated designers and modified by everyday practice. The chapters describe the endeavours of architects, planners and decision-makers to make the people – mainly the working class – happy, which is mostly to be achieved through material and technical improvements. They show how at different times, in different cultures, and under different socio-economic systems, the architects’ and politicians’ attempts encounter similar obstacles and resistance. Thus they analyse the socio-cultural phenomenon of ideologically and culturally conditioned designers and decision-makers who attempt to improve the quality of a residential environment and at the same time ignore the inhabitants’ cultural conditions, requirements, needs, and expectations. Urban Planning and the Pursuit of Happiness not only presents a wide array of studies in European urban planning, but also offers an insight in urban culture, since it is culture, in the broader sense of the word, which facilitates an understanding of the different approaches to urban planning and ‘applied happiness’.
