Introduction
Urban planning is a process that relates to the use of a piece of land; its development, maintenance and protection. Primarily, it involves creating a practical design that distributes each component of the city while including unique values dedicated to a certain group of people. The plan has to follow a certain criteria concerning regulations, environmental issues, public facilities, and economic growth. This process is important to determine and assure that an available space will be used in the most functional way possible and that its citizens will be satisfied with their surroundings.
There are different types of land and recognizing the location of each of them is imperative to the creation of any city. The various types

However, revisions and relocating facilities lead to a better design and improved the organization skills of all group members.
Conclusion
The final plan met all the needs of all assigned roles because the group completed a 3-D model and a plan that followed all requirements and regulations. Additionally, a conservation plan was created that ensure environmental and economic benefits to the city. Even though, it was challenging to make a design around each different type of land, the group was able to develop a city and preserve all natural resources without altering any of them. This land planning “simulation” compares to the real-life process of land-use planning because it follows the same steps. Real-life follows this steps to a greater label and more complicated since there are people that do this for living and take care of real spaces. This simulation gave students the sense of how difficult is to create a space that complies with all rules and regulations of a certain place with the ultimate purpose of providing a safe environment for people to be
According to Park Dixon Goist (1977). “city Planning emerged as a movement and then a profession in the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century“ which was formed by a number of related interests such as included landscape architects, architects, progressive politics, housing reform, the city beautiful movement, the Garden city or the new towns idea, regionalism and zoning. (Goist, 1977, page 121). The idea of city planning therefore emerged at the time when the industrial revolution was at its peak and people were flocking from the villages into cities for better jobs and pay. This was the time when the Chicago Exposition had just hit the exhibition forum and the Garden City concept by Ebenezer Howard and others were in competition.
To simply say gentrification is good or bad would ignore the intricacies of this complicated issue. This essay will explore both the positive and negative consequences of gentrification, as well as how policymakers can balance the pros and cons of the process through public policy and further research. Lees et al. (2008, p. xv) define gentrification as “the transformation of a working-class or vacant area of the central city into middle-class residential and/or commercial use.” This essay will focus on gentrified areas that transform from working-class to middle-to-upper class, since these transformations are more commonly accepted as gentrification and have more impact overall. It is debated whether transformation of vacant areas is gentrification
Gentrification creates a socioeconomic issue that contributes to a major decline in low-income communities of color and disruption of cultural development. This process involves investing in low-income neighborhoods that allow higher-income people to move in and reap the benefits of the improvements while the poor individuals are displaced due to unaffordable housing. To avoid the negative impacts of gentrification, cities must maintain affordable housing prices and establish forums to ensure that the old and the new cultures are preserved and developed in harmony.
NEW DIRECTIONS IN PLANNING THEORY By Susan S. Fainstein. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Generally, this chapter discusses the examination of three planning theory approaches: the communicative model, the new urbanism and just city. Each approach has different planning applicable as well as its strengths and weaknesses. The communicative model is an approach which highlighted the role of town planners as a medium to negotiate and persuade stakeholders regarding planning matters.
Moses Paul’s article concentrates on the effect of gentrification on low-income urban communities in America. He establishes the point that the negative results ___of it on the residents who have been their for extended periods far outweighs the positive that would “revitalize ” the communities involved. Paul states that “in the case in cities across the country, gentrification comes at the price of displacing poorer people who have stuck it out through the high-crime years” and admits that gentrification’s façade is inviting and and marveling “but at what cost to others?”. Ultimately probing for a solution, Paul makes the claim that the challenge resides in making “the poor
Whenever attempting to plan for any certain aspect of a city for development, it is very important to consider many of the attributes of urban planning. In order for a city to be successfully constructed, certain elements to the planning must be enacted. The General Plan for any given city is important to consider while in the process of constructing it because of all of the many revisions, alterations, and changes that the plan undergoes in order to lead to the final product. The municipality that is Tempe, Arizona is only one city of many that uses a General Plan in order to help understand their planning designs so that further construction may continue successfully and with little difficulty throughout the process.
Games can also improve one’s ability to plan and manage resources. In various strategy games, like SimCity, Age of Empires, Warcraft 3, players have to develop and manage cities with limited resources. Each player must act in a purposeful, calculated manner while allocating resources wisely. This is a very applicable skill in real life. The creators of games like SimCity and Minecraft claim that many players of these games have been inspired to choose a career in urban planning or architecture.
* Develop a regional land-use plan in collaboration with local communities, local governments, ministry officials, non-governmental organizations and universities.
Planning is an approach towards the problem solving rationally. It can be taken as a remedial tool for creating change in the current situation in a systematic and efficient way. A problem in the planning profession will be The solution found by planners to varied situations in practice is very dependent on the certain criteria like social, economic, environmental, and political. The evaluation of a solution on these criteria defines the success of a solution. The new definition of the planning problems was given by Rittle and Webber in their path breaking article (Dilemmas in a General Theory of Planning).
Urbanization has to deal with the construction of new modernized construction and the use of technology, in total it means advancing from the local to make modernized place and an industrial site. Also it includes the construction of infrastructural buildings, infrastructural buildings are buildings that are constructed for the betterment of the country for the people it includes hospital, schools, bridges, water supplies and different other buildings. Most of the land were covered by the trees, and they only few people living there, in order to develop a modernized place, or an urbanized place, construction needs to be made. In the determination of making an urbanized place where factories and all could be done, practice such as deforestation is done. Lands that were filled with tees are then cutting in order to satisfy the project of urbanization. The urbanized places are still developing which increases the rate of
A contemporary planning practice focuses on important developments and results that will improve the livability of towns and cities in its global context. However, it is unclear what procedure develops a thriving planning practice. Through the analysis of selected topics, it will be made clear that in order to overcome planning goals and to create a successful contemporary planning practice, teamwork is needed. This is supported as “a team has a common goal or purpose where team members can develop effective, mutual relationships to achieve team goals” (Harris & Harris, 1996). To re-iterate that teamwork in planning is important; this essay will outline the importance of teams in planning, the features of effective teams, strategies to overcome conflict and the stages of an effective team. This essay will also link to relevant case studies.
When learning about the field of land development at University’s, students are taking classes that demonstrate skills and thinking. Individuals have to apply planning concepts about problem solving in regional planning. Plus they have to do a demonstration on designs on regional planning and complete independent research and give group presentations. This experience helps prepare the students for the field and great job opportunities.

If there are more people, more, density, and a good mixture of uses, it will be a safer city... You cannot find a single city that does not wish to make the city center more vibrant or livelier.” This quote from Jan Gehl, the principal of Gehl Architects, illustrates the importance of having a sustainable city. The Central Park project has showcased to the world on how the landscape we design or occupy, can affect our daily activities and surrounding neighborhood. It sets an example of how design must be appreciated as a crucial factor in sustainability and emphasized on the fact the connection of people and nature should not be ignored. All in all, landscape architects are the ones to determine the physical characteristics of the public realm environment, to decide whether a city is attractive to people and whether people will choose to live in the city in the long
