Summary/Abstract: Aesthetic assessment is defined as a process by which activities in organising shapes and visual evaluation of the final product are influenced. A historic survey of the scope and role of aesthetic assessment in town design is followed by a comparison of the placement of aesthetic assessment in the laws of particular European counties including Slovenia. Urban design criteria are especially elaborated. As a result of the often heard remark, that it is almost impossible to produce an aesthetic environment, a proposal for a manual on the design of urban spaces is presented.
