This paper will address thequestion of aesthetic road design in relation with the psychology of the perception, in the United States during the second half of the twentieth century. Taking the work of the artist and theoretician Gyorgy Kepes (1906‐ 2001) as a starting point, I propose to discuss the evolution of urbanism, from a gestalt informed perspective to a cybernetic one, which anticipated the emergence of the concept of smart city.
