Blending globalism, long-term futures, and historical sensitivities: The audacity of Constantinos Doxiadis
Constantinos Doxiadis devoted most of his life to urban and regional planning. His work was globalized, futuristic and extraordinarily ambitious, yet he was fascinated by local contexts, history, and ancient civilizations. The Doxiadis Associates, the Athens-based international consulting firm that he founded in the mid-1950’s, completed projects in over 40 countries. His Ekistics movement had associates throughout the world and he attracted thousands of students and conference participants to Greece. After a four-year illness, he died a year before the first United Nations Habitat Conference, held in Vancouver in Summer 1976, yet he capped his prolific publication record with four books for presentation at the conference.
