The document provides an overview of the origins and spread of the Industrial Revolution from the late 18th century to early 20th century. It began in Great Britain in the 1760s due to factors like agricultural revolution, growth in foreign trade, successful wars and conquests, and a stable government that favored trade. Key innovations included mechanized textile manufacturing, iron production, and steam power that transformed economies and living standards. The Industrial Revolution spread across Western Europe and North America in the following decades and transformed urban and industrial development through new iron and steel construction, factories, transportation networks, and planning of new industrial towns.

9. Definitions of Industrial Revolution and Industrialization
• Industrial Revolution: a period of increased output of
goods made by machines and new inventions; a series of
dramatic changes in the way work was done
• Industrialization: the process of developing machine
production of goods that led to a better quality of life for
people and also caused immense suffering

10. Location
• Industrial revolution started specifically in
Britain in 18th century.
• It swept across Western Europe and much of
North America.
• Late to Asian country's

11. Origins---Why England?
• Agricultural Revolution
– Horse and steel plow
– Fertilizer use
– Yields improved 300% 1700-1850
• Growth of foreign trade for manufactured goods
– Foreign colonies
– Increase in ships and size
• Successful wars and foreign conquest

12. Origins – Why England?
• Factors in England
– No civil strife
– Government favored trade
– Laissez-faire capitalism
– Large middle class
– Island geography

– Everyone lived within 20 miles of
navigable river
– Tradition of experimental science
– Weak guilds

13. Life in England Before the Industrial Revolution?
• 8 out of 10 worked in countryside
• Subsistence farming
• Cottage industries - factories rarely employed more
than 50 people
• Handmade – buttons, needles, cloth, bricks, pottery,
bread etc.
• Developing towns – Liverpool,
Birmingham, Glasgow
How many objects do you have
about you or can you see in the
room that are handmade?

14. A technological revolution
A series of inventions that built on principles of mass production, mechanization
and interchangeable parts
Josiah Wedgwood developed a mold for pottery that
replaced the potters wheel, making mass production
possible

15. INVENTION OF BUILDING MATERIALS
• CAST IRON, AN ESSENTIALLY BRITTLE MATERIAL, IS
APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES AS RESISTANT TO COMPRESSION
AS STONE.
• WROUGHT IRON, WHICH IS FORTY TIMES AS RESISTANT TO
TENSION AND BENDING AS STONE, IS ONLY FOUR TIMES HEAVIER.
IT CAN BE FORM AND MOLDED INTO ANY SHAPE.
• GLASS CAN BE MANUFACTURED IN LARGER SIZES AND VOLUMES.
• SOLID STRUCTURES COULD BE REPLACED BY SKELETON
STRUCTURES, MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO ERECT BUILDINGS OF
ALMOST UNRESTRICTED HEIGHT.

36. TRANSPORT
•Rivers played a major role in the transportation of finished products fromthe
factories to the coast.
•The Severn, Thames, and the Trent were the most navigable rivers in England.
• RIVER- • CANAL-
•The main international seaports of England were London, Bristol, and Liverpool
•The British began to build canals in the late 18th Century.
•In 1720, roads gained importance for the Industrial Revolution.
•ROADS- •RAILWAYS-
•Railways meant the end for canals .Railways were to transform Britain inthe
nineteenth century.

37. Geography/naturalresources
• Wood was the main source of energy which was replaced by coal (morepotent)
• Coal mines were available near the sea.

38. Cultureandit‘simpactonArchitectureandCityPlanning
• Small industries and farming having very small amount of royal people
• After banks etc the lifestyle improved dramatically
• Middle class increased and this section also consumed most of the products and lived a
royal life style
• mass of the people to achieve the income, education and leisure time necessary to
enjoy fine books, good music, and beautiful sculptures and paintings.
• inventions such as the printing press, radio and television that enabled works of culture to
reach more people at lower cost, enabled men to acquire great wealth, part of which
they returned to society by financing libraries, symphony orchestras, museums and
scholarships for promising writers and artists, and encouraged the growth of democracy,
thus providing the atmosphere of freedom so necessary for writers and artists to produce
great works.
Living Standards
•Houses had to be in direct
vicinity tofactories
•Lodging of workersin
overcrowdedhouses.
Formation ofSlums:
•Lack of sanitation gave
way to unhealthy living
conditions
Increased workhours
Insecure working
Conditions

39. PLANNINGFORHOUSES
•They are built in courts the principle is that 3
walls are shared with other houses reducing
the amount of materialsused,.
•it was very compact and streets were very tight
and would not allow for light or sufficient air to
enter the house.
•A lobby/living space and an upstairs room, the kitchen
and toilets were communal and often shared between
16 households.
•Each house could have from 1 to 3 families living inside
and even possible animals.
•The courtyards had privies (outdoor toilets) cooking,
storage areas and wastepool (hole to receive waste
from the house)
.

40. Back-back houses
•BUILT IN DOUBLE ROWS
•NO WINDOWS AT FRONT
• NO BACKYARDS
• A SEWER DOWN MIDDLE OF
STREET
•BUILT CRAMMED CLOSE
TOGETHER VERY NARROW
STREETS BETWEEN THEM.
The “Dark Days” of Industrialization

41. EVOLUTION OFPLANNING
The Middle Class
As the Working class struggled for a livelihood in the
slums, the middle
class factory owners lived in detached houses near the
countryside
City centre: Shopsand
services
Inner City: Factoriesand
run downhouses
Suburbs: Parks&
houses

42. LAND USE PATTERN
Pattern of land-use changed radically: It was determined by radial transport route beginning at town
centre
•Low rent residential area is near to industrial district (heavy and low industries and
warehouses)
•High rent residential areas are in the outskirts of cities (suburbs)

43. CITY PLANNING
Housing for worker with garden in front
1000 houses 20 feetwide
Arcades for workshops
560 houses 28 feetwide
Retail shops
296 houses 38 feetwide
Winter promenadearcade
120 houses 54 feet wide
Public buildings, churches
24 mansions 80 feetwide

URBAN DESIGN OBJECTIVES

45. •The steel city of Jamshedpur originated in a small
company town in the backwaters of eastern India as a new
experiment in urbanism in 1907.
•When Delhi was being conceived in 1911 as imperial
capital, an industrial town with modern town planning
principles, new modes of spatiality and lifestyle associated
with industrialization was taking shape.
•Unlike Delhi and Chandigarh, Jamshedpur was an
indigenous industrial development initiated, financed and
built by Indians using local resources albeit foreign
expertise.
Jamshetji Nusserwanji Tata
(3rd Mar’1839- 19th May’ 1904)
Industrial city jamshedpur

47. •J.N.Tata conceived the dream of this industrial township. He travelled to many of the industrial towns of North
America in pursuit of technology for setting up a steel plant.
•His efforts set in motion the search of sites rich in Iron ore and coal mines. Though he did not live to see his
dream come true, but his efforts culminated in the discovery of iron ore mines in GURUMAHISINI HILLS of
Mayurbhanj (presently a district of Odisha).
•Thus an iron and steel plant was perceived in Sakchi village (72 km from the hills).
•The site of the steel plant was well connected by Railways through the KALIMATI railway station on the
BOMBAY-CALCUTTA route.
•Sound business management policy, philanthropic motives and the desire to make Industrial township an
envied and emulated concept throughout India gave birth to JAMSHEDPUR.

48. Sahlin and Kennedy Plan 1912 Small industrial town
Temple Plan 1920 Full fledged industrial township
Stoke’s Plan 1936 Expansion of Temple plan with
emphasis on housing
Koenigsberger’s Plan 1944-45 Garden city+ neighbourhood unit
in planning circles.
•Unlike the planning of Delhi and Chandigarh, which were planned
and conceived all at a single time, this town was planned in various
stages.
•The reason behind these several stages was growth in the
production of the steel plant due to World War I and World War II
and hence growth in population of workers.
STAGES OF PLANNING

49. SAHLIN AND KENNEDY PLAN

50. •The Pittsburgh firm of Julian Kennedy and Axel Sahlin was awarded the contract for the designing and
engineering works of Tata Steel Plant. They built the original colony between 1909-12 for housing
managers and skilled workers.
•There is a little influence of the garden city/suburb ideal of the ‘new’ American company.
•Site exigencies dictated the stratified pattern of housing on high ground
on the ridge spurs on the north-west and western fringes of the steel plant to ensure protection from the
factory dust carried by the prevailing western winds.
•The colony was laid out in the grid-iron (North American settlement pattern) with alphabetically named
‘roads’ running east-west and numbered ‘avenues’ running north-south.
•There is no evidence of a planned town centre or public park system

•The plan ignored the acute need for
housing laborers with the result that
clusters of mud huts sprang up around
the towns and close to the factory
gates.
SAHLIN AND KENNEDY PLAN

52. FREDRICK C. TEMPLE PLAN

53. •As the Steel production of the plant grew (due to World War I), population of the township increased
and the old Kennedy plan became obsolete.
•Fredrick C. Temple, sanitary officer for Orissa and Bihar states was appointed as the Chief Engineer
for planning of Jamshedpur.
•Temple’s work was influenced by :
•Study of lifestyle of local tribal people.
•Concept of Garden city of Letchworth.
•Design of industrial village of New Earswick.
•The fact that “A township already existed around the steel plant” played a detrimental factor in the
planning thus making it somewhat different from other industrial townships of its time.
FREDRICK C. TEMPLE PLAN

54. •The principles of Temple’s planning were:
•Gravitational Sewerage system.
•Street system adapted to contours.
•Parkway system in natural drains.
•Temple proposed housing of 12 units per acre, balancing it with 1-1 ½ acre plots of bungalows
and ¼ acre plots quarters.
•He designed the quarters in 3 blocks with the 4th one serving as open space.
•He advocated that the problem of housing could be solved by improving the sanitation and
preserving the infrastructure of the squatter settlements and the lifestyle of the tribal people
respectively.
FREDRICK C. TEMPLE PLAN

55. MAJOR P.G.W.STOKES PLAN

56. •Due to the further expansion of Tata Steel in 1930, the township was in immediate need of
housing.
•Stokes strived a lot to propose an effective plan for this growing township.
•According to his report his work was very much influenced by Earnest Burges (1925) who
proposed that cities develop outward from central business and manufacturing districts with
working class population nearest to the core.
•Stokes did not have much to do beyond Temple’s plan. His main work was to quench the
shortage of housing.
MAJOR P.G.W.STOKES PLAN

57. MAJOR P.G.W.STOKES PLAN
•Constrained by the existing mixed and stratified
housing of Jamshedpur, Stoke had to conform to
Homer Hoyt’s wedge shaped urban model that
stipulated segmented growth along transport
arteries.
•Officers’ bungalows were made in North town
along the E-W straight mile road.
•Workers’ housing was provided in north and
west in Sakchi and Kadma respectively.
•To further satisfy the need, he had to provide
workers’ housing in Burma mines (S-E of the
steel plant) but this exposed the residents to the
smoke and dust of the plant.

58. OTTO KEONIGSBERGER’S PLAN

59. • The primary motive of Keonigsberger was to implement GARDEN CITY concepts in his
Master plan for Jamshedpur, but his motive was partially satisfied.
• He was reluctant to give up and endeavoured to put in GARDEN CITY principles wherever
space permitted.
• The major problem was that Jamshedpur did not develop as a Garden city. BUSTEES had
developed on the periphery of the industrial area.
•His contention was that linear growth along transportation arteries was the best solution to the
problems posed by the concentric growth around the place of employment.
OTTO KEONIGSBERGER’S PLAN

60. OTTO KEONIGSBERGER’S PLAN
• Massive urban surgery was untenable, so Keonigsberger proposed for a
garden suburb on the forested slopes of Dalma Hills for 200 medium
income families who could do the daily commute 7
miles to the Steel Plant.
• This was All the bungalows and cottages disappeared behind tree foliage and
gardens.
• The only public building besides the club/rest house would be the
Inspection Bungalow overlooking the Dam on one side and terraced hill-garden
with a bandstand on the other.
• Intention was to build a leafy suburb at a suitable distance from industrial
pollution and haphazard urban growth.
• This unbuilt proposal represented what Tata Steel desired all of Jamshedpur
to be.

61. PRESENT DAY JAMSHEDPURJAMSHEDPUR URBAN AGGLOMERATION (JUA)

62. •Tata Steel remained the largest employer and the physical core of Jamshedpur. New industries and their
settlements were built first towards the east and later after independence in 1947 across the river
Kharkai on the west.
•A multinucleated pattern emerged with industries as the nuclei of settlement growth that minimized the
distance between residence and workplace.
•Some of these industries were established by the Tatas, others were acquired and became subsidiaries.
•Tinplate, Cable, Steel and Wire Industries built their housing in a grid iron pattern on a ridge parallel to the
main NW-SE ridge.
•The tribal villages that had deteriorated into bustees were now transformed into planned housing colonies.
•The Tata Engineering and Locomotive Company (TELCO) built housing for its employees in the village
Jojobera.
JAMSHEDPUR URBAN AGGLOMERATION (JUA)

63. •Golmuri was developed by Tinplate Company
• Sidhgora by Indian Oxygen and Tata Steel.
•Baridih was developed by Tube Company.
•The satellite township of Adityapur came up in the 1960’s across the river Kharkhai as a result of state
government initiative in planning an industrial complex which incorporated 83 villages and is spread over 53 square
miles with much of the development concentrated along the main artery—Tata- Kandra Road.
• About 700 industries provide goods and services to Tata Steel although serviced by poorly planned residential
and commercial development.
• JUA 2027 Master Plan was drawn up by Superior Global Infrastructure of New Delhi in collaboration with the
Philadelphia based landscape planning firm of Wallace
Roberts &Todd at the behest of state govt.
•The scope of planning covered the core of Jamshedpur, Adityapur, Mango, Jugsalai and seven villages,
altogether covering an area of 149.23 sq. kms.
