Abstract
The book highlights how know-how on planning circulated globally and were exchanged by looking at international platforms and organizations. It also closely examines specificities of planning ideas and projects in the Communist and Capitalist World.
Finally, it explores East-West channels generated by exchanges around issues of planning which functioned irrespective of the Iron Curtain and were exported in developing countries. The volume thus contributes to two fields undergoing a process of profound reassessment: the history of modernisation and of the Cold War
