Abstract

"Modern Architecture" and "Modern Urbanism" are increasingly proving to be old, outdated and obsolete. The European city of short distances, which is still popular, beautiful and attractive today, has all too often been transformed with brutal radicalism into a functionally divided, car-oriented city of long distances, which not only harms our environment, but also our health. The mere "re-framing" of this non-sustainable planning ideology cannot solve the very damage and problems it has caused, certainly not in a sustainable and human way. The most important question is: Why and for what purpose do we develop and build cities? What is the goal and purpose of our projects? What is the meaning of urban planning and real estate development? This paper identifies the need for change in the school and practice of urban planning and real estate development. It is intended to promote discussion and lead to a “new” paradigm that considers timeless and ubiquitous principles of beautiful cities that sustain life on earth.
