Architects from the modern movement, such as Le Corbusier and Ludwig Hilberseimer, sought to address issues of city planning by turning unorganized, chaotic spaces into highly regimented built environments that rejected smaller-scale buildings and neighborhoods in favor of broadly planned high-rise housing blocks, often set within green spaces.
