1.Introduction
For ENBE final project, we need to propose a new town. To
propose a new town, we need to investigate about past, present
and future town as an example. To plan for the future town we
need to refer to the past because we need to learn from the past
to achieve a better town and also focus on the needs of people,
the facilities, infrastructures and how it sustain in the future.
In this project, the town that we need to propose is about
15km to 30km and the population in between 80,000 – 200,000
Malaysian. At first, we need to create a new name, decide which
kind of town we want, such as a town with a lake or a town on a
small island and choose a grid system to design our town.
This project can show that how well we learn about in the
course and use it on propose a new town.

2.The Town
Town Definition
 A built-up area with a name, defined boundaries, and local government, that is
larger than a village and generally smaller than a city.
 The particular town under consideration, especially one's own town.
 The chief city or town of a region.
 The permanent residents of a university town.
 The central part of a neighborhood, with its business or shopping area...
 Densely populated areas, especially as contrasted with the country or suburbs.
What makes a town
A town is usually a place with a lot of houses, but not a city. As with cities, there is
more than one way to say what a town is in different countries. In some places, it is a
kind of local government.
Generally, the difference between towns and villages or hamlets is the sort of
economy they have. People in towns usually get money from industry, commerce
and public service (working for the town) not agriculture (growing food).
What makes a good town
 Quality of school system
 Attitude of the town
 Income from our jobs
 Location
 Cost of Living
 Housing price/value
 Weather
 Quality and variety of Colleges and Universities close by
 Infrastructure

What makes a good township
A township is a small geographic area.
The term is used in three ways.
1. A survey township is simply a geographic reference used to define property
location for deeds and grants as surveyed and platted by the General Land
Office (GLO). A survey township is nominally six by six miles square, or
23,040 acres.
2. A civil township is a unit of local government. Civil townships are generally
given a name, sometimes abbreviated "Twp".
3. A charter township is similar to a civil township, found only in the state
of Michigan. Provided certain conditions are met, a charter township is mostly
exempt from annexation from contiguous cities or villages, and carries
additional rights and responsibilities of home rule.
What are the future towns
Future Towns covers every aspect of disaster resistant building, from large town
sized buildings to small dwellings, such as 'The Safe House'. It also discusses other
disasters, such as poor air quality, asteroid strikes and volcanic and Earthquake
activity. We change the way we live and how we design and engineer buildings and
transportation networks.
What makes a good town planning
Town planning for a better town, we need to plan for:
• Grouping homes
• Hospitals
• Industry
• Cultural
• Recreational
• Shopping Centers
• Transportation

What are the sustainable or green approaches of your town
A sustainable town or eco-town is a town designed with consideration of environmental impact,
inhabited by people dedicated to minimization of required inputs of energy, water and food, and
waste output of heat, air pollution - CO2, methane, and water pollution.

7.Conclusion
Based on what I have done in this project, I know that to
propose a new town is a hard work. Before propose the town,
we need to finish own research and then we can start planning
about the town. We need to plan for what we want to
concentrate on, what kind of infrastructure is needed in town
and more to plan. Besides that, we also need to plan for the
transportation and other extra elements.
After the planning part, we can start to sketch out the layout
we want to propose and then improve. Lastly, it’s to time to come
out our own town.
I learn a lot of new skills in this project, such as how to plan a
town and else, so I hope I have the second chance to tried again.
