- Amsterdam is a highly compact and walkable city with a dense street system composed of narrow, winding streets and canals.
- The city focuses on sustainability through initiatives like widespread cycling infrastructure, electric public transportation, increasing sustainable energy sources, and improving the environmental impact of schools and businesses.
- Neighborhood parks were an important part of the city's design, with over 860 being built after World War II to serve local communities.
Every one in the world wants to live in a compact environment. like in olden days the peoples they were used telephone, telegram, etc. for communication. but in the current scenario every one have smart phones for better communication. Because smartphones are compact and convenient to them.This presentation about Compact City planning and also it dealt how various compact cities in the developed and developing countries manage themselves. This presentation just gives an outline of the compact city planning.
The motivation of this study is to explore about Transit Oriented Development (TOD), its parameters and principles. This dissertation includes case studies of areas that show the benefits of TOD and how it is making public transportation feasible near stations and thereby reducing traffic jam problems.

Local policies and strategies designed to deal with urban decline, decay or transformation are termed as urban renewal.

Amsterdam only exists because is planned. The canal system in Amsterdam is the result of successful urban planning with the execution of hydraulic engineering works with defensive and transport purposes since the city expanded during the 16th century. In Amsterdam, public space is cleverly planned. Among the reasons for bicycle culture are the flat terrain of the city (and the country as a whole) and the freedom of traffic, since the road rules are considered more as suggestions than as rules themselves. The Amsterdam 2025 mobility plan was designed to prevent the growth of car use, improve the public transport network, and increase the number of walking dislocations and by bicycle. To evaluate urban organization and sustainability, The Economist magazine, in partnership with Siemens, conducted a study to identify the greenest cities in Europe. In this ranking, Amsterdam is the 5th most sustainable city in the world.

CONTRASTS BETWEEN THE PLANNED AMSTERDAM IN THE NETHERLANDS AND THE DEGRADED S...Faga1939
This article aims to show the striking contrasts between the city of Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, a world reference city in urban planning, and the city of São Paulo, in Brazil, a striking example of urban degradation to highlight the imperative need that rational urban planning be taken forward, also, in the largest Brazilian city. Unlike Amsterdam, São Paulo is not a planned city that is not integrated into the territorial planning of the State of São Paulo because this, too, does not exist. Unlike Amsterdam, which classifies its streets into residential streets, small shopping streets, commercial streets with a lot of traffic, wide arterial avenues and intercity highways, specifying which of them is allowed to circulate cars, motorcycles, bicycles, public transport, freight transport, etc, this does not exist in São Paulo. Unlike Amsterdam, which is considered the greenest city in the world, São Paulo does not have sustainable development goals and an ecological culture. Unlike Amsterdam, which is considered the fifth smartest city in the world, São Paulo does not adopt measures to make the city smart. Recently, the City Council of São Paulo approved the revision of the city's Master Plan, a law that guides the city's growth and establishes general rules for the construction of buildings. The city's Master Plan will make its neighborhoods live in the shadow of huge buildings, in addition to living in areas with more traffic and pollution. It is absurd for a city like São Paulo to adopt a Master Plan that contributes to an even greater increase in the number of skyscrapers and cars on its congested streets, compromising the well-being of its population. One fact is evident: the revision of the Master Plan of São Paulo will contribute to further degrade the city of São Paulo.
integrated Land use and Transport planning become very important tool in Planning which are usually practice in developed countries to improve their capacity to respond the urban complexities.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

Background:
Amsterdam after
1663
Amsterdam end of
the 19th century
Amsterdam was originally designed for defense. It is composed
of semi-circles that create tiny islands linked by bridges.
Amsterdam’s city center is very compact. This, coupled with the
fact that the city is made of a gently curving and very narrow
street system, creates a highly walkable and interesting
environment. The bends in the road create a sense of mystery
and intrigue and can prove a little confusing until you figure
out the names of all the canals. The concept for open space
within the region was the idea of the five green fingers. Each
finger leads to the heart of the city and allows
people to use them as connectors. The finger that leads from
Amsterdam is Bos Park.
7. Transportation systems in Amsterdam were very
well thought out in their conception.
Trains connect Amsterdam to the Dutch
of Europe.
Trams within the city provide a cheap and fast
intercity transportation. But the main form of
everyday movement through the compact city is
the bicycle. The bike is a quiet and
environmentally good solution to the tiny street
systems and a perfect way to enjoy the
urban landscape.

one example, it has always been the cycling
capital of the world. Today it is one of the ten
most sustainable cities on earth, and in Europe
one of the top four. This report has been

local businesses and other interested parties with

level – from the sun, the wind, biomass and hydrogen
• At present, 5.8 per cent of the energy consumed in
Amsterdam is derived from sustainable sources. That is 3
per cent more the national average.
• The computer servers at City
Hall are cooled using water from the River Amstel. Two-thirds
of council services and enterprises now use “green” power
and a third have joined the city’s energy
monitoring program. Most municipal buildings are
still heated by gas.
