Abstract
Out of the devastation of the Second World War, London was subject of significant investment in re-planning and urban development. Post-War Britain situated urban planning at the centre of an ethically-charged political discourse on national reconstruction and the building of an equitable post-War society. The "post-War settlement" was an attempt at creating a just society, where central major policy fields were new state funded housing and the re-design of major cities. The first and second sections of this paper construct an historical narrative of post-War political development, and the second and third sections argue that a central achievement and central failure of the "post-War settlement" was the emergence of international modernism and architecture- led public planning.
