Abstract
This book constitutes an edited resumé of the NATO Advanced Study Institute held in the Belgian new town of Louvain-la-Neuve in July, 1979. The Institute members, all specialists in the growing number of disciplines directly and indirectly related to urban design, assembled to discuss and instruct each other on the “factors influencing urban planning and design”. The dominant theme during the Institute’s proceedings was the relationship between urban planning and systems. This theme has, therefore, been adopted as the central idea in this reader.
