Written by art historian Jan Ivanega, Život Na Sídlišti (“Life in the Housing Project”) traces the origins and history of housing estates in Pardubice, from the postwar enthusiasm for construction and the challenges of building a “better world” to the transformation of older neighborhoods. The book explores both realized and unrealized urban plans, the development of infrastructure and schools, and, above all, the everyday lives of residents. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and historical photographs, many of them published for the first time, it offers a detailed portrait of life in Pardubice’s housing estates across decades.

The book was published by Východočeské muzeum v Pardubicích in a design by Milan Nedvěd Studio using KTF Compact from Kyiv Type Foundry, Grilli Type’s GT America and ABC ROM Mono from Dinamo.
