The legacy of the Weimar Bauhaus for the urban now

The Bauhaus movement, despite its short-lived existence from 1919 to 1933, significantly influenced modern urban design. This study examines whether the Bauhaus legacy offers contemporary relevance for creating more humane cities. It explores the potential of Bauhaus principles in addressing current urban challenges, leveraging its utopian foundations. The research employs a critical analysis of historical and theoretical sources, focusing on the movement's impact on architecture and urban planning. By synthesizing Bauhaus ideals with modern urbanism, the study provides insights into how these principles might be applied to contemporary city design, aiming for more sustainable and people-centered environments.
