ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Process Journal Report Compilation | Pamphlet & Model Representation
Introduction
For the final project for ENBE, Each student will have to pretend that they are the mayor
of the “X” City. The people in “X” city require a new city because of reasons that it no
longer liveable or because it’s just too crowded. As a mayor you will need to propose a
new layout for the new “X” City very quickly. As a group, we are given 5 options to choose
to build the city on. The 5 options are an underground city (or in a cave), an underwater
or floating on water City (at sea or saltwater wetlands), an underwater or floating on
water City (fresh water wetlands), a city that blends in the forest (Swamp Area etc), a city
in the Air (or sky scraper city or in the mountains). When planning the city, students are
required to consider and include the followings;
i. The geometric shape, form, pattern, hierarchy, system and structure of the city.
ii. The aim of the city, the green approach, new waste management, new technology, business
plan, new initiatives etc.
iii. The main focus of the city; such as the square, garden, monuments, town hall, pavilion, civic
building, axis and vistas.

areas, education areas, religious and cultures areas, hospitals, services area, industrial area,
residential, community area, port and shipping area, forest and green areas, agriculture area,
hospitality and tourism etc)
v. The people, population, social issues, activities, food distribution, crime, security, education,
culture and religion.
vi. Transportation and networking. vii. Infrastructure, utility, services and amenities. (Energy,
water, waste etc.)

What is a city?
The definition of a city is actually an English word that origin from Latin which
is “civitas”. “Civitas” basically means civilization or a highly organized
community. A city is also defined as a larger version of a town which is
designed to provide everything a human being needs for survival.
Characteristic of a city
A city should consists of basic services provided to
people, for examples;
-Efficient & Enough electrical, food and water supplies to
the people
-Infrastructure such as highways, lighting, sanitation and
drainage system.
-Zoning of the city
-Basic public transportation such as busses and trains.
-Historical monuments that identify the city

What makes a good city?
To make a good and sustainable city, it needs to have a balance of social
and economic. Not only that, the environment itself needs to ensure the
stability of development for the next generations to come. In order to make a
good city, these aspects should be taken;
- Clean and safe environment
- Basic needs that can be provided to people such as food, water and
shelter
- No crime and poverty
- Everyone has a job and no one is broke
- Public transports that can be accessed from everywhere
- Public spaces to connect with people
- Safe walkways along the road.
- Waste products can be recycled and reuse

Investigation & Data Collection:
Present city of New York
New York City can be considered as one of the most famous city in the world.
In the 18th
century, New York City had become one of the most greatest
trading business cities. Today, New York City is one of the top tourist’s
attractions and counted as the few wealthy city in the world.
The famous World Trade Center in New York City. It was once destroyed by
terrorist during the 9/11 incident but was rebuilt in 2006.

The specialty of New York City
- Population of 8.4 millions, the most populous city in the United States
- World’s busiest pedestrian intersections in the city
- Infrastructures like bridges, skyscrapers, entertainment and education.
- 24/7 public metro system worldwide
- Pedestrian walkways can are everywhere so that people can walk instead
of using vehicles.
Conclusion
The fact that the city priorities the citizen by supplying large walkways to
pedestrian, this not only can reduce the amount of cars on the road, it can
also lead the city in a more greener way.

The Future City: City On Star Wars
On Star Wars Episode 6 Return of The Jedi release on the 1980s, the main
heroes of the movie were aided by mysterious creatures on the final battle.
The city was located on the forest moon of endor. Its houses are all over the
trees and well immersive into the forest.
Benefits of the city
- It’s environmental friendly
- The buildings are all connected with bridges to
- Some buildings used more than one tree to be more stable.
- The city is designed with circular dome style to enable the movement from
anywhere.

Canatropics
The aim
The aim of this city is to let the people live in an eco friendly environment for a
different life style experience.
The Ideas
The idea was to create a city based on the ewok village and the wookie city
from star wars as they are all based on trees. It is actually possible to create a
city in the forest.
The new features & facilities
Since I wanted to make an eco friendly city, why don’t I make the city
without transportation that burns fuel but make something that pedestrian will
use
Monorail
- faster compared to walking
- safe & easy to use
- environmental friendly

Bike rental system
- mainly for tourist or anyone that needs it
- can be rent from almost any part of the city
- good for sight-seeing or relaxing
Green residential
Since all houses in the city is on trees, there is a large solar power farm
connecting to the whole city to provide power.

The progress layout design
The idea in my mind is to make a simple layout design for the city, the shape
will be either a big circle or a pentagon.
Pamphlet design
For the pamphlet design, I chose to do the classic one which is the accordion
style. As for how the pamphlet look like, instead of making it look messy with a
lot of graphics and fancy fonts, I want to make it simple yet easy to
understand.

About the Pamphlet
What is a pamphlet? And how do you make a good looking pamphlet?
Pamphlet
Pamphlet is like an unbound booklet without a hard cover or binding. It can
consists of one sheet paper that is printed on both sides and folded in half like
an accordion style. Pamphlet is good advertising medium or business
communication.
Examples of pamphlet
How to make/fold it?
In order to make a pamphlet from a blank paper, we need to know how to
fold it into one. These are some of the ways to fold it.
As for my pamphlet, I’m using the most classic way to make it, the accordion
style.

Good pamphlet design
To make a pamphlet that is artistic and informative, the pamphlet should
consists some of these elements.
A good headline/cover
First impressions is the most important to attract people to read at your
pamphlet. A good cover should be able to deliver the main message to the
reader.
These pamphlet cover might
not consists a lot of graphic but
it can convey a message to the
reader.
Informative
A pamphlet without enough information is like a book with blank pages. The
pamphlet must have the information about the products or messages that
you’re selling or convey to let people know more about it. The information
should be clear enough to convince the people, if they like it, they might
consider it. Pictures about your products should be in the pamphlet to give
people a rough idea about the products.
In this pamphlet, it

clearly shows the
ways to prevent HIV
& AIDS

Fonts & Colors
Using the right fonts can affect how your pamphlet can attract the people.
Fonts such as Forte, IMPACT or Broadway can easily attract people to read at
your pamphlet because of its uniqueness. As for colors, colors such as red
can attract people because of its fresh and bright color. According to
research, red color is the color that can attract people 90% of the time,
which explains why some of the magazines’ cover or pamphlet uses red.
Good pamphlet designs
