God I cant believe what Im about to say but here goes:
This is why classisicm is critical. It gives a blueprint or loose set of guidlines on how to approach design at all scales in an urban environment, and it ensures that some sort of social cohesion and fabric can be mantained accross the centuries. The classical template does not nessessarily mean dentition, ordered columns and buildings on Plynths - No - its a set of rationalist ideals and principles such as relief, proportion, alignment, Stature and respect of the structure for it's neighbors. A city can be built almost instantaneously with out appearing to be a collection of concrete bunkers with no views or air, or even worse a skyline of dildos and dongs.
