In 1941, Jozef Schellekens published the book ‘Architecture In Our Landscape and the Urban Planning Problem’, in which he advocated for a regional and careful urban planning policy. From a perspective that was critical of the deterioration of the landscape, and inspired by European thinkers such as Bardet and Granpré Molière, he defended traditional, Christian-inspired urban planning designed in harmony with the Flemish landscape.
