Abstract

Throughout history, people have used manifestos to express their desire for POSITIVE CHANGE. Manifestos are short documents that aim to convey a group’s or organisation’s ideas, values, and objectives. Political parties have manifestos. Artistic movements have manifestos. But architects and urbanists have produced quite a few manifestos, too. The Charter of Athens (1933) (Le Corbusier, 1943) is a long and detailed manifesto about Modernist principles in architecture and urbanisation. In 2003, a New Charter of Athens was published, focusing on spatial planning as “vital for the delivery of Sustainable Development” (ECTP, 2003).
