Urban Planning and Architecture in Munich: a Classical Inheritance In Munich, much more than in any other German city, urban planning and architecture stand squarely within a classical and Neoclassical tradition. This is the reason for the unusual degree of homogeneity and spatial generosity in many places in this city. The generous urban mood, reminiscent of Italy, is first perceived in the wonderful urban installations built for Bavarian kings over the centuries by such architecture greats as François Cuvilliés, Giovanni Viscardi, Leo von Klenze, and Friedrich von Gärtner. Munich’s post-war redevelopment architecture makes an important contribution to the urban flavour of the city. As opposed to other cities, in Munich this redevelopment related strongly to local and classical traditions, a relationship that, seen from the distance of time, can well be appreciated today. This project relates to Munich’s tradition and is the result of the deep conviction that urban planning need not be reinvented today.
