Abstract

The role of religion and urban planning need to be evaluated and explored from an objective standpoint. This must be done void of emotional connections usually accentuated by psychological bias. In this last chapter, the thematic of religion as a political tool is reiterated to support the argument that irrationality can often accompany the subject, and how it could, on the contrary, made to contribute to urbanism from a spiritual standpoint. The works of Christopher Alexander offer some perspective on the matter and further reiterates how design can undermine our innate connection to the universe and made to support religious and spiritual claims. Those are represented through his concept of wholeness, which is supported by other leaders in the field such as Nikos Salingaros. Finally, in the pursuit of objectivity, the thematic of religion and science is evoked and a clear delineation is made as to where each should stand when it comes to urban planning.
