Abstract	Introduction: Housing internationals and the Postwar World Order -- Encounters in housing and land economics -- Redefining technical assistance: from policy to training and education -- An institute or a university? Assembling experts and inperts -- A new industrial order: the forum and the nation -- The campus and the national imaginary: competing narratives of citizenship and nationhood -- Stewards of the land: culture, currency, and the nation -- METU at large: METU as revolution. "The book studies the international culture of postwar urban planning via the case of the Middle East Technical University (METU) in Ankara, Turkey. It studies "a series of legitimacy battles" between bureaucrats, academics, and other professionals "in multiple theaters across the political geography of the cold war"; Erdim concludes by looking at how METU went on to become an important force in transnational housing, planning, and preservation in its own right"--Provided by publisher.
