  • Lewis Mumford, KBE war ein US-amerikanischer Architekturkritiker und Wissenschaftler. Eine nähere Kategorisierung als Historiker, Philosoph, Soziologe oder gar Schriftsteller wird dem interdisziplinären Charakter von Mumfords vielfältigem Schaffen kaum gerecht. Im deutschen Sprachraum ist Mumford vor allem durch seine Schriften zur Geschichte der Stadt und der Technik bekannt.

  • Lewis Mumford est un historien américain, spécialisé dans l'histoire de la technologie et de la science, ainsi que dans l'histoire de l'urbanisme où il excelle.
  • Culturalmente legato a Patrick Geddes, Ebenezer Howard, Henry Wright, Raymond Unwin, Richard Barry Parker, Patrick Abercrombie, Matthew Nowicki. Si è occupato soprattutto, in un'ottica storica e regionalista, della Città e del territorio influenzando anche il pensiero di Colin Ward; da rilevare in particolare le sue analisi a proposito di Utopia, sulla Città giardino e la collaborazione all'attuazione delle New towns inglesi. Affrontò inoltre il tema della funzione simbolica e dell'espressione artistica nella vita dell'uomo. Il 14 settembre 1964 ricevette la Medaglia presidenziale della libertà dal Presidente degli Stati Uniti Lyndon B. Johnson.

  • Lewis Mumford, född 19 oktober 1895, död 26 januari 1990, amerikansk sociolog och filosof. Mumford skrev ett stort antal kulturkritiska studier. I boken "Stadskultur" tecknade han den västerländska stadens utveckling från de medeltida stadsbildningarna till den moderna "själlösa" industristaden, som han menade kännetecknas av ett socialt sönderfall. Han analyserade också den industriella kulturens teknikberoende. Mumford varnade för ett teknokratiskt samhälle där människorna blir teknikens slavar (tex i boken "Teknik och Civilisation"). Samtidigt ville Mumford hitta nya vägar för mänskligheten att skapa ett humanistiskt samhälle, där människan åter behärskar tekniken. Hans böcker har haft betydelse för den europeiska miljödebatten.
