Online resources: Summary: "Mozingo distinguishes among three forms of corporate landscapes--the corporate campus, the corporate estate, and the office park--and examines suburban corporate landscapes built and inhabited by such companies as Bell Labs, General Motors, Deere & Company, and Microsoft. She also considers the globalization of pastoral capitalism in Europe and the developing world including Singapore, India, and China. Mozingo argues that, even as it is proliferating, pastoral capitalism needs redesign, as do many of our metropolitan forms, for pressing social, cultural, political, and environmental reasons. Future transformations are impossible, however, unless we understand the past. Pastoral Capitalism offers an indispensible chapter in urban history, examining not only the design of corporate landscapes but also the economic, social, and cultural models that determined their form."--Dust jacket p.1Summary: Postwar corporations, cities, and the pastoral landscape -- The corporation in the suburbs -- The corporate campus -- The corporate estate -- The office park -- Global pastoral capitalismPPN: PPN: 868103403Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-4-EBA | ZDB-4-NLEBK
