We will describe the statistical mechanics of simple glass forming systems in 2 dimensions based on
encoding the glassy configurations via a Voronoi tesselation. The statistical mechanics is performed
directly in this encoding. The theory provides, without free parameters, an explanation of the glass transition phenomenology, including the identification of two different temperatures, $T_g$ and $T_k$, the first associated with jamming and the second associated with the appearance of a crystalline ground state at very low temperatures. We also describe how the very slow glassy dynamics can be estimated from this statistical description.
