How Managements Can Help

Gordon Cullen was a British architect and urban designer whose prolific writings and drawings shaped postwar thinking about streetscape and civic form. He developed the concept of 'townscape', a visual and experiential approach to planning that emphasized the sequential, human-scaled qualities of streets and public spaces over abstract modernist principles. His illustrated essays in the Architectural Review during the 1940s and 1950s established a counterpoint to prevailing functionalist doctrine, advocating instead for the preservation and integration of historic character within contemporary urban development.
