Not since the the middle of the 20th century have architects, planners and visionaries embarked into old territories of imagining new cities. The Post WW II effects along with the following Energy Crisis sparked a number of new templates for how we structure living... I think that time as returned, with the renewed understanding of the planets fragile state and the simple fact that more than half of us on the planet now live in cities.

What are those visions and why? Can one find themes from the array of plans, that might make aware emerging fields of urban theory? Its worth a try.
