Urban Building:
Architecture. Architecture developed rather slowly after 1821. Village homes were built according to folk art patterns, but in the towns a neoclassical style was introduced for public buildings, mostly by foreign architects who were commissioned to design them. The private urban homes of the 19th century had many romantic features. In the 20th century contemporary Western architecture influenced urban building, while some efforts were made to adapt folk architecture to the building of private homes.A solution of these related problems of urban sprawl and urban deterioration is being sought, on the one hand, in regional government authorities and, on the other hand, in accelerated programs of urban renewal. The U. S. government in 1965 created the Department of Housing and Urban Development in order to participate more effectively in urban affairs.
