ABSTRACT

From this point there will be evidence of a gradual change of key as there is increasing reference to the architecture of towns and cities. Inevitably there is a sharp difference in the mode of description between the intricacies of the human brain and the much more familiar facets of the built environment. Already some may consider that this psychological infiltration into architecture is unnecessary. However, it is justified on the grounds that, if people are to be able to relate to new urbanism as organically as in the past, we must understand at least something of the complexity of that relationship.
