Authors	P.V. Shaburov, Moscow Institute of Architecture (State Academy), Moscow, Russia
Abstract	The building of towns in Europe from the sixth century on developed as part of the socio- economic trends in the Middle Ages. Town planning lost its former regular pattern and open spaces began to be built up. The public spaces of towns started to be "curtailed" and the landscape of squares degraded. However, from the early XII-th century European towns began to be rebuilt setting the stage for the next period of the Middle Ages, the transition to the Renaissance. Public spaces were becoming larger, "expanded", the planing of the spaces became better defined and more open, and their landscape more varied. New principles of organizing the landscape of squares were developed, including a combination of traditional elements and those that emerged in the new era.
