Περίληψη: This article is placed within a network of studies that aim to shed light on the complex relationships between the Cold War policies, including the European Recovery Program (ERP) or Marshall Plan and architecture and urbanism. Its main objective is to provide an understanding of how architecture and urban planning, which are related to the Marshall Plan politics, contributed to the formation of national identity in both Greece and Italy. The article emphasizes the interplay between urban planning and politics within this context. Departing from the hypothesis that the Marshall Plan played a crucial role in the reconstruction of Europe after the Second World War, it aims to show that architecture and urbanism were very important in this respect, focusing on two key players regarding the connection between the politics of the Marshall Plan and agendas for urban design: the Greek town planner Constantinos A. Doxiadis and the Italian industrialist Adriano Olivetti. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
