In response to the sense of crisis felt in many of today's towns the proponents of new traditionalism offer a form of urban planning that looks back to more traditional styles while firmly integrating the requirements of modern life. Their designs are easily accessible and characterized by a sense of public spirit, identification, and order. The contributions to this second, revised edition of "Town Spaces" reveal how these principles relate to the specific European city in the twenty-first century as well as to the writings of theoreticians from Camillo Sitte to Rem Koolhaas.
