Anyways, the constant longing for the cities of the past will do nothing to improve our current cities. We can never go back to the past all we can do is work to improve whatever exists now.
Urbanism is not a desperation to go back to a better nonexistent past, that is called being a reactionary and is the antithesis to the goals of Urbanism and leftist movements in general
If you make your movement based around going to the past, you are encouraging facism. The point of Urbanism is to improve the existing world for a better future. We can look at the past for ideas, but that longing for the past that is seemingly everpresent is not actually helping anyone.
