Abstract
Survey report:In the next 30 years, additional millions of people will live in either entirely new cities or extensions of existing ones, extensions so large as to constitute virtually new cities. A discussion of the basic functions of cities leads to a framework of rules for new ones: 1.5 km width between periphery roads; local roads at intervals of approximately 600 m; a central line of public transport; rear road access by cul-de-sacs to shops and public buildings; pedestrian main center and local centers intersecting every 600 m and at least partly arcaded; open space; a reasonably high density; and new construction only next to parts already completed.
