Urban planning

designs emphasized on rigid grid forms, that contemporary writers of the history of urban planning and design, assume the presence of grids even in plans where they exist in approximate forms. Absence of grids is often perceived as lack of planning. Nevertheless, it is critical to note that the complex patters of streets in medieval cities were neither random nor chaotic. The developments in planning and design of urban cities inform the argument surrounding the unsuitability of grids to carfree cities

Introduction: In this changing global world, urban water systems are the most essential, valuable and sensitive part of public infrastructure. Different utilities and municipalities are dealing with this infrastructure with high responsibility and trying to manage and expand this infrastructure properly for present and future generations [2]. In this present world, some emerging issues should be taken in consideration for future planning as these issues are going to increase day by day in near future

index measured by Institute for Urban Strategies, The Mori Memorial Foundation (2017). Moreover, as one of the most visited city in the world (Millington, 2017), proper urban planning in Paris seems to be required in order to maintain an appropriate balance between the large amount of tourists’ influx and the residents’ living quality. Based on Before Sunset (Linklater, 2004), the movie conveyed several perspectives that could potentially impact the urban planning of Paris. This paper would be analyzing

June Thomas writes about the failures of different urban planning models to include justice but still believes in their intentions and role in building the best community. Thomas (2005) writes, about the tenacity of urban planners. She states, in spite of false steps and inadequate tools, in spite of political turmoil and

Planning at both urban and regional level in Australia exhibits several common features, shaped largely by the same challenges and managed by similar responses. Urban planning in Australia has a significant role to play in ensuring the future sustainability of Australian cities. Population and urbanization: Australia is one of the most highly urbanised societies in the world. Urbanization is occurring not only in the capital cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane etc but also in coastal areas

3. Urban planning and informality, a Proposed Urban Model The effectiveness of urban planning is the key factor in regulating villages and settlements uncontrolled informality. The main objective is to Plan an integrated and sustainable human settlements that demonstrate a certain amount of resilience towards to increase environmental, social and economic challenges and improve the rural community quality of life.

Introduction Quantitative urban studies are becoming increasingly important for planners knowing that in the year 2015 more than half the global population will be residing in cities [1]. Suitable urban planning ought to be a top priority for future development but unfortunately sound planning has not taken place especially in many African cities as heavy rural-urban migration continues to cause cities to expand at uncontrollable rates [2]. As a consequence, the urban population in Africa is increasing

Vancouver: The Greenest City Urban planning has been relied on in order to keep the city as clean and efficient as possible, with the concept of eco-density. This refers to building vertically, as in skyscrapers, as opposed to urban sprawl. The City of Vancouver has the goal of building energy efficient buildings, so that, along with retrofits, all buildings in the city are carbon neutral by 2030. They have the goal of becoming "the greenest city on earth”. According to the official website of the

to its population increase and the urban sprawl caused by influx of so many people. There were nearly 4 million inhabitants of the 'Great City' at the height of the Victorian age. This number was an increase of nearly three million people over a period of approximately 30 years, there were many problems associated with such explosive growth, problems which were most recognizable during Charles Dickens lifetime. The migration from rural settings to an urban setting was common throughout the country

JANE JACOBS CITY STREETS AND THE MIX OF USES Urban planning is an important aspect of city life, especially in light of today’s dynamic economy and environment. With increasing levels of crime, pollution, and environmental degradation, many cities are looking for new solutions to solve these. Large influences on the ideas that are shaping urban planning today come from urban theorist, Jane Jacobs. Jacobs challenged the way urban planners, architects, urban designer and sociologist thought about cities
