The document discusses digital media coverage related to urban evolution, focusing on the fictional town of Hill Valley from 'Back to the Future' and its transformation from a walkable urban area in 1955 to a suburban decline in 1985, and finally revitalization in 2015. It also highlights themes of New Urbanism through 'The Truman Show,' presenting contrasting views of urban design, including the appeal of walkability versus criticisms of its fantasy nature. The course, led by instructor Mostafizur Rahman at LPU Punjab, emphasizes the impact of urban design on community life.

BACK TO THE FUTURE HILL VALLY 1955
The walkable urban form is dominant in 1955
downtown Hill Valley, an invented small California
town centered on a grassy plaza. There is a vibrant
town life with most jobs, shopping, school and houses
within walking distance, though the car (and
skateboard) integrates well into its character.

BACK TO THE FUTURE HILL VALLY 1985
1985 as the center of town life has migrated to a
regional mall and subdivisions. The nearly abandoned
downtown is home to X-rated theaters, and the plaza
has been turned into a surface parking lot.

BACK TO THE FUTURE HILL VALLY 2015
In Back to the Future II, McFly time travels to the
distant future… set in 2015. Downtown Hill Valley is
once again the center of town life with increased
density, vibrant retail and lots of people on the
streets. The plaza has once again become a park. It
also shows that the suburbs have become slums,
which reflects the 21st-century suburbanization of
poverty.

7. THE TRUEMAN SHOW
New Urbanism project. It is perhaps the best and
worst movie about New Urbanism. One the one hand,
it shows a place where everything — work, friends
and shopping — is delightfully within walking
distance. On the other, its plot revolves around
someone unknowingly growing up on a stage set,
which means the film plays into a major criticism of
New Urbanism: That it is a development fantasy
unconnected to the real world.
