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.
