To
manage the well being of present and future generations
through the advancement of human cities and towns.
Cities,
towns and countrysides are being "damaged"
by social exclusion (isolation, urban sprawl),
waste of land and cultural recources, monofunctional
development, and a loss of respect for local and
regional culture.
The
challenge is to ensure sufficient attractive /
vibrant environment, and public spaces. Have mixed
uses and social diversity, make efficient and
sustainable use of buildings, land and other recources,
be safe and accessible by foot, bicycle, car,
and public transport. Have streets and spaces
formed by an architecture that respects local
history, culture, climate, and landscape.
