Architecture and Communities Today
One of the roles society expects by architecture is the ability to shape communities, remodel environments,
and influence behaviours in a predictable and positive way. Furthermore, architects claims for themselves the
professional skills to express social imagination through their architectural ideas and design. During the early 1960s a new idea of space and community emerged: the concept of placemaking raised and activists and personalities theorised the slogan "cities for people" and not only for cars and shopping centres.
