Maks Fabiani and urbanism in Vienna at the turn of the 19th century

Cultural factors affecting urban planners’ intentions to regulate public space in Prishtina, Kosovo

“…These results contradict the finding by Mihelič (2008), who states that there is a logical link between social constructs that regulate the relationship between individuals and territory, and that organise their behaviour in the urban sphere and planners' perceptions when regulating space. The social forces working through spatial laws are those that create both differences and constants in settlement forms and configuration of space (Hillier, 2001).…”

“…Breda Mihelič (2008) explains that Fabiani's work as an urban planner of cities such as Ljubljana and various Italian and Austrian towns was influenced by his sense for the local environment and respect for the local spirit and belonging to the place. Mihelič (2008: 129) also states that planners' perception that they should regulate space according to a feeling of belonging and identification with cultural elements and the national narrative can be noted in culturalist cities, which have no trace of geometry or prototype forms and the only thing that they emphasise is the "notion of a community and a sense of collective spirit".…”
