Abstract
The expression ‘Other Urbanisms’ is an attempt to bring attention to the main urban visions coexisting since the end of the Second World War through to the 1980s. These include approaches most linked to internal debates next to the CIAMs and others developed in parallel to functionalist urbanism, such as Townscape, the new urban design subdiscipline and those that support the idea of the city as a cultural creation sensitive to the values of history, focused on urban forms.
