CIUDAD REAL, CIUDAD VIRTUAL

This paper undertakes an analysis and deconstruction of a diverse range of ideas concerning urban landscapes that have evolved over the past 150 years. It explores the insights and professional contributions of key authors such as Camilo Sitte, Gordon Cullen, Kevin Lynch, Rob, and Leon Krier. These thinkers articulated prescriptive approaches that shaped guidelines, directives, and recommendations for urban design. The study aims to provide a concise historical overview of urban thought while critically assessing their potential influences on and implications for the contemporary sustainability paradigms of cities today.
