Classical Urbanism

Classical urbanism refers to the traditional design principles of cities rooted in the ideas of ancient Greece and Rome. It emphasizes organized, human-scale layouts with accessible public spaces, well-defined streets, and harmonious building proportions. The approach promotes walkability, social interaction, and beauty, often featuring grid patterns and centralized areas like plazas or forums. This philosophy seeks to create functional, aesthetically pleasing environments that foster community and civic life, influencing many modern urban planning styles that value order, harmony, and human experience in city design.
