The historicist city in the tropical climate: conflations of identity, sustainability, permeability and walkability

The paper argues the position of the historicist city, which is defined as a city derived from principles of history and tradition yet which embody a framework of urban form and spatial structure evoking historical form and cultural rootedness while still achieving goals of green urbanism and the lo...
