Summary

Le Corbusier's urban planning principles, rooted in praxeological and system knowledge, revolutionized modern city construction by emphasizing geometric forms, regularity, and repetition. His designs, though criticized for centralization, prioritized individual welfare through functional yet emotionally resonant built environments. The study analyzes his efficient design process, revealing a multidisciplinary approach that synthesized social, industrial, and economic aspects. These innovative concepts remain influential, serving as foundational models for contemporary virtual city planning. Le Corbusier's work demonstrates the methodological link between theoretical research and practical production, underscoring urban planning as a complex synthesis of diverse factors.
