"Here Comes the Sun" looks at how social reformers, urban planners, and architects in the early twentieth century tried to remake the city in the image of a sunlit, ordered utopia. Worpole concentrates less on buildings and more on the spaces in-between-parks, public squares, open-air museums, public pools, even cemeteries. Life in the open was of particular concern to early urban planners and reformers, with their dreams of release from the confines of overcrowded slums. Worpole demonstrates how open-air public spaces became sought-after commissions for many early modernist architects. Ken Worpole has written a number of books on urban and cultural policy, most recently "Cemetery in the City" (1997) and "Richer Futures: Fashioning a New Politics" (1998).
