Philosophical Urbanism and the Predilections of Urban Design

Abstract

The scholarly thrust of urban planning is its use of, as well as its contribution to, social science. As a discipline bordering with civil engineering, furthermore, urban planning has always carried also an important cross-disciplinary message beyond social science. Yet the association of urban planning with humanistic disciplines and the fine arts has been undervalued or ignored altogether. At a time when the vast majority of humanity resides in cities, however, this association is implicit in the primary purpose of urban planning, as a constituent of contemporary social, scientific and technological progress, aimed at the advancement of both society as well as the individual human being.
