LITERATURE STUDY 3.1. Historical context At the end of the 1950’s and during the 1960’s and 1970’s the idea of corridor development, both planned and unplanned, was actively studied and discussed among spatial planners, designers and scientists (e.g. by C.F.G. Whebell, George R. Collins, C. Doxiadis). Many of these practitioners and scholars also encountered the difficulty of visualising the dynamics of corridors and often referred to (earlier) schemes and designs of linear cities. A study on both
‘CIDCO-We make cities’-This tagline of Cidco, the city planning organization created by the Government of Maharashtra(India),intrigued me even when I was in primary school. As my father is a Cidco employee, I often visited Cidco Bhavan (Navi Mumbai) when I was young. The architectural models of the city nodes, the airport, the NRI Township, the plans of satellite node city of Kharghar, etc. fascinated me. During my early studies, my knowledge about architecture was limited. My passion for architecture
in Ecology and Urban Design , captivated my interest and still influences my academic goal. I have my dream of becoming a scholar who contributes to research area of landscape issues associated with the urban changes. My research will be an exploration of the application of spatial analysis to landscape, emphasized on changes in urban structures. The unprecedented urban growth is one of major urban issues relating to human activities and developments. We live in complexity of urban systems, vital
Urban Planning is about places for people. It is about their creation, their function, their maintenance and their improvement .Cities and towns are the basic building blocks of modern society, operating as centers of commerce and trade, government and politics, and knowledge and culture. Well- planned, efficient cities provide healthy and attractive environment for people to live, work and play. Indeed, many global cities face compelling urban planning issues like urban sprawl, population, low
by evaluating these values, we are able to create room for possibilities and changes. In Jane Jacob’s publication of “The Death and Life American Cities,” in 1962, she undermines the conventions of urban planning that bought prominence to New Urbanism movement, playing a pivotal role in today’s planning of the cities at the advent of environmentalism. In parallel to this, with the increased awareness of environmentalism that arose in the 1960s, the bicycle presents itself as an object of opposition
loss of open spaces, pollution, and climate change due to land-use and transportation patterns in the paper, ‘Greening the American dream?’ The author believes that ‘new urbanism’ is the solution to these issues. New urbanism is a variety of related planning and design approaches that include traditional neighbourhood, as well as transit-oriented development (Pollard, 2001). New urbanists are critics of sprawl and promote mixed-use land development. Designs include more open spaces, walkable neighbourhoods
The Spectrum of Urban Planning Urban Planning is the process of planning the development of land and other resources to improve a community in ways that benefit the lives of people within these communities. Urban Planning is a complex area of study because of the many different factors involved and the people it has an effect on. Planning can be controversial, political, and cause anger towards officials if it is not executed correctly. Urban planners must weigh their decisions and base them on
Strategic planning is concerned with the formulation and evaluation of urban development policies and the mechanisms put in place in for implementing those policies, whilst strategic planning in urban development is generally referred to as a process that allows the articulation of the initiatives of public and private stakeholders which seek synergies for the development of a city (Steinberg, 2003). The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of strategic planning for government administration
I pursued my bachelor’s degree in the department of Public Administration at Selcuk University, Turkey. In Turkey, enrollment to the university is based on one’s performance in central examination. Fortunately, my score in that exam allowed me to study in one of the best universities, Selcuk University. After four years of my undergraduate, I applied and was awarded to Ministry of National Education’s scholarship, which sponsors my master and doctorate degree abroad. As a first step of my academic
Urban village is a particular consequence of urban development in every city, including China. At the earlier time, urban village concept was mentioned by the famous American economist, Arthur O’ Sullivan. In his book, Urban Economics (2007, p68)[ ], he mentioned about American Urban Village. He said that American’s urban village is the mass concentration located in the suburb of modern cities, called “hypo-centers.” He also mentioned that those kinds of urban villages are an outcome of suburbanization
CHAPTER TWO: LITERARTURE REVIEW 2.1 Introduction Urban Development is the science of managing and directing city growth with respects to the discipline of land utilization planning which explores a very wide range of aspects of the built and social environments. Urban development process is a highly complicated process containing various phases. As a main core of the process, urban design gives numbers of proposed plans that are called alternatives. It is worthy to mention that the decision making
Introduction Curitiba is globally recognized for its innovative urban strategies that have allowed the city to grow in a controlled and socially equitable manner. The unique political culture that drove the sweeping changes in Curitiba can be best described as a benevolent authoritarian regime. An authoritarian style of governance is not typically associated with comprehensive and inclusive urban planning, however the cast of characters that set the stage for comprehensive development worked as a
Urban Consolidation Factors and Fallacies in Urban Consolidation: Introduction As proponents of urban consolidation and consolidated living continue to manifest in our society, we must ensure that our acknowledgment of its benefits, and the problems of its agitator (sprawl), do not hinder our caution over its continually changing objectives. Definition Like much urban policy, the potential benefits that urban consolidation and the urban village concept seek to offer are substantially
communities prevalent within the urban fabric. The structural readjustment of the government in efforts to alleviate debt has reinforced the ideology of privatization and splintered urbanism. Jamaica is one of the most indebted 3rd world countries contributing 45 cents from each dollar to pay for debt financing. This case study will examine Kingston, Jamaica’s unique history, economy, social, political, and physical context to further understand the realm of planning and effects of urbanization. Exploring
The Politics of Representation: Social Work Lessons From the Advocacy Planning Movement In urban planning's new political awareness, representation became a social responsibility issue. This new understanding of politics and social responsibility in urban planning may have brought boundary interaction between planners and other professions, such as social work… Introduction In his 1995 article, Andrew Abbott explores his evolving conception of the social work profession. As we approach
formation of urban sprawl including its impacts on people and to explore efficient alternatives. Urban sprawl is a common problem that the world is currently facing in the process of urbanization. The North America urban sprawl that began from 1950s has been regarded as an illness of urban developments. With the purpose of drawing lessons and enlightens to a sustainable urban planning, this paper tries to analyze social and economic reasons that have been the motivation of North American urban sprawl.
perspective. In other words, the better way to run the world is to attain the sustainable development. This book, ‘Institutional and Social Innovation for Sustainable Urban Development’, which is edited by Harald A. Mieg and Klaus Töpfer, brings out the message of the importance of social innovation to the advancement of sustainable urban development, which is one of the perspective that we neglected for long and it is one of the essential element in attaining the sustainable development. In this book
The contemporary field of urban sociology provides substantive examinations that engage both a macro- and micro-lens into the construction of urban spaces and inequalities. In the discussion that follows I address some of the leading theories and common threads that enable urban sociologists to engage in the comprehensive examination of how and why urban inequality persists. In the final section, I draw upon theorists and propose a research perspective that I believe might help to further advance
characteristics can be identified, it is essential to emphasize the numerous differences between first- and third-world urbanization processes. First of all, first and third world cities present a major difference of land use in as much as the urban core doesn’t have the same characteristics. One the one hand, first-world cities are centred on the Central Business District (CBD) only. It forms the heart of the transportation network and gathers the main commercial activities of the city. On the
Planner to Your Staff Planning in any town is an important part of the growth, development and sustainability of the citizens and businesses in that town. I believe that your town council could greatly benefit from adding a planner to your staff. Planning suggests a systematic attempt to shape the future. It attempts to link scientific and technical knowledge to actions in the public domain, and processes of societal guidance and of social transformation. Planning entails making decisions and
