I CURSO DE PLANIFICACION TERRITORIAL. TEMA 4: DISENO URBANO. 4.2. PROBLEMAS DE FORMA Y ESTRUCTURA URBANAS

THIS REPORT SUMMARIZES THE PRESENT CONCEPTS OF URBAN DESIGN. A DISTINCTION IS MADE BETWEEN "URBAN DESIGN" AND "REGIONAL PLANNING" ALTHOUGH THEY FORM THE COMMON BASIS OF A TECHNOLOGICAL DISCIPLINE, THE OBJECT OF WHICH IS TO CONTROL THE TENDENCIES WHICH GOVERN THE SPONTANEOUS OCCUPATION OF LAND SPACE BY MAN. THE HISTORY OF TOWN PLANNING IS BRIEFLY OUTLINED, AND THE CONTRAST BETWEEN AN IDEAL TOWN AND A CONSERVATIVE TOWN IS STRESSED. MENTION IS MADE OF THE PRESENT EFFORT OF FINDING NEW METHODS OF PHYSICAL TOWN PLANNING AND OF DESIGN USING A SCIENTIFIC APPROACH. FOR THE COVERING ABSTRACT, SEE IRRD ABSTRACT NO 106086.
