Sitte drew his inspiration from an examination of the built form of cities across Europe, principally from [[Austria]], [[Germany]], [[Italy]], [[France]] and the [[Low Countries]]. He sought to identify the elements that contributed to aesthetically pleasing urban environments, and was perhaps the first person to study the relationship between buildings, and the nature of the space that separates them, rather than the design of the buildings themselves. His work concentrated on the size, shape and orientation of city squares and plazas, and the design of streets; put very simply, the ideal to be aimed at was a sense of 'enclosure'.
