Abstract

Some cultural reflections occasioned by the Newly Created Urge for more and more evocative built-up areas, and these soon to be styled ‘Villages’, Atmospheric ‘Quarters’ or ‘Precincts’. This survey glances at the layer patterns of propinquity, agriculture and trade over some two thousand years. Much of today’s ‘village movement’ has many antecedents and parallels.
