New Practice in Urban Design (Architectural Design Profile)

Half a century of modernist planning activity has transformed the built environment, but has failed to capture the publics sympathies. The disillusionment with these new town proposals has been particularly evident in the last two decades. Projects once hailed as manifestations of a brave new global vision have shown themselves to be inadequate as long-term settlements. Most conspicuous in the new developments has been the absence of a sense of place. By zoning towns into distinct and unrelated sectors, modernist planning divided and polarized community life.
