Post-War Housing
Post-war housing refers to the construction and development of residential buildings following World War II. Many countries faced a housing shortage due to wartime destruction and the return of soldiers. Governments initiated large-scale housing projects to provide affordable homes for families, often using simple designs and mass production techniques.
In the United States, the GI Bill helped veterans access low-interest loans for home purchases, leading to suburban expansion. Similarly, in Europe, countries like Britain and Germany implemented public housing programs to address the urgent need for shelter, resulting in the creation of new communities and urban planning initiatives.
