and
present
cities
to

modified
the

2.The City
2.1 The City Definition
A city is a relatively large and permanent settlement. Although
there is no agreement on how a city is distinguished from a town
within general English language meanings, many cities have a
particular administrative, legal, or historical status based on local
law.
Cities generally have complex systems for sanitation, utilities,
land usage, housing, and transportation. The concentration of
development greatly facilitates interaction between people and
businesses, benefiting both parties in the process, but it also
presents challenges to managing urban growth. A big city or
metropolis usually has associated suburbs and exurbs. Such
cities are usually associated with metropolitan areas and urban
areas, creating numerous business commuters traveling to urban
centers for employment. Once a city expands far enough to reach
another city, this region can be deemed a conurbation or
megalopolis.
2.2 What is the brief history?
Towns and cities have a long history, although opinions vary
on whether any particular ancient settlement can be considered a
city. A city formed as central places of trade for the benefit of the
members living in close proximity to others facilitates interaction of
all kinds. These interactions generate both positive and negative
externalities between others' actions. Benefits include reduced
transport costs, exchange of ideas, sharing of natural resources,
large local markets, and later in their development, amenities such
as running water and sewage disposal. Possible costs would
include higher rate of crime, higher mortality rates, higher cost of
living, worse pollution, traffic and high commuting times. Cities
grow when the benefits of proximity between people and firms are
higher than the cost.


4

The first true towns are sometimes considered large
settlements where the inhabitants were no longer simply farmers
of the surrounding area, but began to take on specialized
occupations, and where trade; food storage and power were
centralized. In 1950 Gordon Childe attempted to define a historic
city with 10 general metrics. These are:
1 Size and density of the population should be above normal.
2 Differentiation of the population.
3 Payment of taxes to a deity or king.
4 Monumental public buildings.
5 The king supports those not producing their own food.
6 Systems of recording and practical science.
7 A system of writing.
8 Development of symbolic art.
9 Trade and import of raw materials.
This categorization is descriptive, and it is used as a general
touchstone when considering ancient cities, although not all have
each of its characteristics.
One characteristic that can be used to distinguish a small city
from a large town is organized government. A town accomplishes
common goals through informal agreements between neighbors or
the leadership of a chief. A city has professional administrators,
regulations, and some form of taxation (food and other necessities
or means to trade for them) to feed the government workers. The
governments may be based on heredity, religion, military power,
work projects (such as canal building), food distribution, land
ownership, agriculture, commerce, manufacturing, finance, or a
combination of those. Societies that live in cities are often called
civilizations.
2.3 What makes a city / town
Whatever the perceived strengths and weaknesses of your city's
brand, one thing appears unarguable, and that's the value of being
identified as a city in the first place.
In the US midwest, admittedly, the word "city" has been appended
with abandon to any one-brothel main street that once offered


5

relief to travellers across the prairies. Likewise Australia, where
Melbourne suburbs style themselves as cities and outback dots
such as the City of Dubbo appear on the map. This is the pioneer
spirit at work – echoing ancestors' hopes and ambitions for these
remote settlements.
Nowadays, however, towns everywhere seem to have aspirations to brand
themselves with city status – and sometimes even that isn't enough, when
there is also a "global city" or "city of culture" title to be garnered. Beyond the
brand blather, does the city distinction really matter? I think so – but that we
need a more discerning definition of the title (and, for that matter, subtitles
such as "eco-city", "smart city" and the like).
And so to fledgling Ebbsfleet Garden City, a clip-on surburb planned in the
eastern periphery of London that was recently (re)announced by the UK's
chancellor, George Osborne.
In name at least, Ebbsfleet echoes the ambition of the garden cities
movement that first gained traction at the beginning of the last century, and
led to the establishment of Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City
as a reaction to England's overcrowded, high density, polluted capital. In a
garden city, healthy, peaceful residents were envisioned as having the
physical space to grow their greens and the mental space to better
themselves of an evening at educational institutes, rather than drink their way
through their wage packet at the local.
While utopian in vision, low-density "cities" such as these are, as a concept,
profoundly anti-urban. Many places around the world that have been founded
on this model have suffered similar problems – from the pragmatic (not
enough people to support decent public transport) to the existential (they are
boring).
The unofficial “city” moniker seeks to big them up but Letchworth and Welwyn,
no matter how pleasant to some, unequivocally remain towns. The truth is, we
know this instinctively when we visit such places – there is something city-ish
missing.
The UK has, for centuries, regulated which settlements can title themselves a
city. Under Henry VIII, the presence of a diocesan cathedral was usually
enough to guarantee the claim. Size didn’t matter so much as the exercise of
power – spiritual or temporal.
This was clearly getting ridiculous by the mid-19th
century, when the booming
English industrial centres of the north and Midlands remained towns while St
David’s (population c.2000) on the west coast of Wales enjoyed the city
mantle. Manchester finally won city status in 1854 and Liverpool in 1880 –
Birmingham had to wait until 1889 when the requirement to have an Anglican
cathedral was dropped. Leeds and Sheffield followed in 1893 while Bradford,
Hull and Nottingham got the gig in 1897, the year of Queen Victoria’s
Diamond Jubilee.


6

Today, the UK's official criteria for what constitutes a city remain opaque, but
those put in place in 1907 remain a good rule of thumb: home to at least
300,000 residents, a distinct identity that is the centre of a wider area, and a
good record of local government. There are now 69 official UK cities (there
would be 70 but Rochester, a cathedral city since 1211, became a town in
1998 after it neglected to confirm its status following local government
reorganisation).
2.4 What makes a good town/ township?
Any effort to describe what makes a great town is bound to elicit a multiple of
desires. To some a great city has an influx of ethnic cultures, high-end
shopping and the presence of jazz clubs, all night restaurants and a
happening nightlife. That’s not, however, what you’ll discover in any of the
myriad of charming towns that make up the high desert.
Instead you find original culture mixed with sustainable environments and a
desire to keep our communities small but prosperous. The air is clean, the
water is top quality, the rivers and mountains are inviting and accessible and
the small economies that are growing in various sections of the region are
hopeful. The traffic is manageable, roundabouts add pizzazz to our driving
experience, restaurants are pretty fabulous, the schools are excellent and
where else can you park right in front of Victoria Secret at numerous times of
the day?
The artist community is so bountiful that one often wonders how these artists
find a way to make a living here. The answer, of course, is that most can’t
survive on art alone, but the desire to live here makes them forge other
avenues of revenue. Their commitment to Central Oregon can simply be
called a blessing for the rest of us.
The glass is mostly full and only the ambiguity of our occasional muddy
politics, lack of elected leadership, infrastructure issues and shortage of funds
for all the needs that fill the envelope makes the reality of life in the high
desert slightly less secure. If anything makes a difference it is the cream of
the crop in savvy land developers, patrons of the arts and culture and
contributors to worthy nonprofits that help the less fortunate.

3.Investigation & Data Collection:
Ancient Cities / towns
3.1 When did it start? History and all
THE BIRTH OF THE CITY-STATE
During the so-called “Greek Dark Ages” before the Archaic period, people
lived scattered throughout Greece in small farming villages. As they grew
larger, these villages began to evolve. Some built walls. Most built a
marketplace (an agora) and a community meeting place. They developed
governments and organized their citizens according to some sort of
constitution or set of laws. They raised armies and collected taxes. And every
one of these city-states (known as poleis) was said to be protected by a
particular god or goddess, to whom the citizens of the polis owed a great deal
of reverence, respect and sacrifice. (Athens’s deity was Athena, for example;
so was Sparta’s.)
Though their citizens had in common what Herodotus called “the same stock
and the same speech, our shared temples of the gods and religious rituals,
our similar customs,” every Greek city-state was different. The largest, Sparta,
controlled about 300 square miles of territory; the smallest had just a few
hundred people. However, by the dawn of the Archaic period in the seventh
century B.C., the city-states had developed a number of common
characteristics. They all had economies that were based on agriculture, not
trade: For this reason, land was every city-state’s most valuable resource.
Also, most had overthrown their hereditary kings, or basileus, and were ruled
by a small number of wealthy aristocrats.
These people monopolized political power. (For example, they refused to let
ordinary people serve on councils or assemblies.) They also monopolized the
best farmland, and some even claimed to be descended from the gods.
Because “the poor with their wives and children were enslaved to the rich and


13

had no political rights,” Aristotle said, “there was conflict between the nobles
and the people for a long time.”
COLONIZATION
Emigration was one way to relieve some of this tension. Land was the most
important source of wealth in the city-states; it was also, obviously, in finite
supply. The pressure of population growth pushed many men away from their
home poleis and into sparsely populated areas around Greece and the
Aegean. Between 750 B.C. and 600 B.C., Greek colonies sprang up from the
Mediterranean to Asia Minor, from North Africa to the coast of the Black Sea.
By the end of the seventh century B.C., there were more than 1,500 colonial
poleis.
Each of these poleis was an independent city-state. In this way, the colonies
of the Archaic period were different from other colonies we are familiar with:
The people who lived there were not ruled by or bound to the city-states from
which they came. The new poleis were self-governing and self-sufficient.
ARCHAIC RENAISSANCE?
The colonial migrations of the Archaic period had an important effect on its art
and literature: They spread Greek styles far and wide and encouraged people
from all over to participate in the era’s creative revolutions. The epic poet
Homer, from Ionia, produced his Iliad and Odyssey during the Archaic period.
Sculptors created kouroi and korai, carefully proportioned human figures that
served as memorials to the dead. Scientists and mathematicians made
progress too: Anaximandros devised a theory of gravity; Xenophanes wrote
about his discovery of fossils; and Pythagoras of Kroton discovered his
famous theorem.
The economic, political, technological and artistic developments of the Archaic
period readied the Greek city-states for the monumental changes of the next
few centuries.

3.2 What ancient city are you concentrating on?
Ancient Greece was a Greek civilization belonging to a period of Greek
history that lasted from the Archaic period of the 8th to 6th centuries BC to the
end of antiquity (ca. AD 600). Immediately following this period was the
beginning of the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine era.[1]
Included in
ancient Greece is the period of Classical Greece, which flourished during the
5th to 4th centuries BC. Classical Greece began with the repelling of a
Persian invasion by Athenian leadership. Because of conquests by Alexander
the Great, Hellenistic civilization flourished from Central Asia to the western
end of the Mediterranean Sea.
Classical Greek culture, especially philosophy, had a powerful influence on
the Roman Empire, which carried a version of it to many parts of the
Mediterranean Basin and Europe, for which reason Classical Greece is
generally considered to be the seminal culture which provided the foundation
of modern Western culture.
3.3 What makes is a significant city and what are the details?
The ancient Greeks (mainly the
Athenians) were a unique people.
They believed that individuals
should be free as long as they
acted within the laws of Greece.
This allowed them the opportunity
to excel in any direction they
chose. Individuality, as the Greeks
viewed it, was the basis of their
society. The ability to strive for
excellence, no matter what the challenge, was what the Athenians so dearly
believed in. This strive for excellence was the method from which they
achieved such phenomenal accomplishments. These accomplishments
astound us to this day. They also believed in the balance of mind and body.
Although many of them strove to become soldiers and athletes, others
ventured into philosophy, drama, pottery and the arts. The two most
important concepts which the ancient Greeks followed were found inscribed
on the great shrine of Delphi, which read "Nothing in excess" and "Know
thyself". This philosophy greatly impacted the Greek civilization.
3.4 Conclusion about the cities
The term “classical Greece” refers to the period between the Persian Wars at
the beginning of the fifth century B.C. and the rise of Alexander the Great in
323 B.C. The classical period was an era of war and conflict—first between
the Greeks and the Persians, then between the Athenians and the Spartans—
but it was also an era of unprecedented political and cultural achievement.
Besides the Parthenon and Greek tragedy, classical Greece brought us the
historian Herodotus, the physician Hippokrates and the philosopher Socrates.
It also brought us the political reforms that are ancient Greece’s most


15

enduring contribution to the modern world: the system known as demokratia,
or “rule by the people.”
The Land and Early History of Greece
Greece is a rocky peninsula with lots of
mountains. Few crops can grow in its stony
soil. But Greece is surrounded by water,
which is its greatest natural resource.
Ancient Greeks depended on the sea for
fishing and trade.
As their population grew, ancient Greeks
formed city-states. A city-state had a central
city called a polis. Each city-state had its
own form of government and laws. All the
city-states shared a common language,
religion, and way of life. Three kinds of
government were common in the Greek
city-states. In an oligarchy, a few powerful and wealthy people ruled. Other
city-states were ruled by a single person who took control against the wishes
of the people. This kind of government is called a tyranny. Some city-states
were democracies. In a democracy, people take part in their own government.
Two of the most important city-states were Athens and Sparta. Athens,
located in the center of the Greek Peninsula, was a democracy. Sparta was in
the southern part of the Greek Peninsula. It was an oligarchy ruled by two
kings.
Learning and the Arts
The ancient Greeks were known for their great literature, learning, and
architecture. Plays are among the finest pieces of literature from ancient
Greece. Some modern operas and films are based on these plays. Ancient
Greece had several important thinkers called philosophers. Socrates was a
well-known philosopher. He taught about knowledge, friendship, and justice.
One of Socrates’ students was a philosopher named Plato. Plato wrote about
government, mathematics, and astronomy. He also wrote about how people
behaved. The city-states of ancient Greece fought with each other. In 338
B.C. they were conquered by King Phillip II of Macedonia. After Phillip died,
his son, Alexander the Great, took control. Alexander conquered new lands.
This spread Greek culture, language, and ideas throughout the Mediterranean
and as far east as India.

city
COLONIZATION
Emigration was one way to relieve some of this tension. Land was the most
important source of wealth in the city-states; it was also, obviously, in finite
supply. The pressure of population growth pushed many men away from their


16

home poleis and into sparsely populated areas around Greece and the
Aegean. Between 750 B.C. and 600 B.C., Greek colonies sprang up from the

The people who lived there were not ruled by or bound to the city-states from
which they came. The new poleis were self-governing and self-sufficient.
THE RISE OF THE TYRANTS
As time passed and their populations grew, many of these agricultural city-
states began to produce consumer goods such as pottery, cloth, wine and
metalwork. Trade in these goods made some
people—usually not members of the old aristocracy—
very wealthy. These people resented the unchecked
power of the oligarchs and banded together,
sometimes with the aid of heavily-armed soldiers
called hoplites, to put new leaders in charge.
These leaders were known as tyrants. Some tyrants
turned out to be just as autocratic as the oligarchs
they replaced, while others proved to be enlightened
leaders. (Pheidon of Argos established an orderly system of weights and
measures, for instance, while Theagenes of Megara brought running water to
his city.) However, their rule did not last: The classical period brought with it a
series of political reforms that created the system known as demokratia, or
“rule by the people.”
ARCHAIC RENAISSANCE?
The colonial migrations of the Archaic period had an important effect on its art
and literature: They spread Greek styles far and wide and encouraged people

Present Towns / township
4.1 When did it start? History and all
Subang Jaya was originally a township of Petaling Jaya. However, due to the
high population and rapid developments, it has earned its own municipality,
the Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya. The city was developed by Sime UEP
Berhad, the property development arm of the Malaysian conglomerate Sime
Darby. The site was formerly a rubber plantation called Seafield Estate under
the municipality of Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya. Construction work for the
development of Subang Jaya began in 1974 and was concluded in 1988.
Upon completion of Subang Jaya in the same year, Sime UEP began clearing
land for the development of USJ. In 1999, Sime UEP began the development
of Putra Heights.
In 1997, Subang Jaya was granted the status of a municipality.Hence, the
local authority was transferred from the Majlis Perbandaran Petaling Jaya
(MPPJ) (Petaling Jaya Municipal Council) to Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya
(MPSJ) (Subang Jaya Municipal Council). The MPSJ holds local government
authority not only in Subang Jaya, but also USJ, Putra Heights, Batu Tiga,
Bandar Sunway, Puchong, Bandar Kinrara, Seri Kembangan, Balakong, and
other parts of Petaling district.
4.2 What town are you concentrating on?
Subang Jaya (commonly called "Subang" by locals) is a suburban city in the
Klang Valley, Selangor, Malaysia. It is located about 20 km west of Kuala
Lumpur city centre. It comprises the southern third district of Petaling, making
it the 5th most populous city in Malaysia. Subang Jaya consists of SS12 to
SS19, Bandar Sunway, USJ, Putra Heights and Batu Tiga. The city is
governed by the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ), which also governs
other areas of the Petaling district under Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Puchong
and Seri Kembangan.
4.3 What makes it a significant town and what are the details?


18

USJ has grown rapidly in recent years, but has paid a price in terms of traffic
jams and a shortage of parking places. Currently, there are three large
mega commercial projects under development in USJ. They are Da Men,
Empire Remix and Tropicana Metropark. These developments are set to
change the landscape of the affluent township.
Da Men and Empire Remix are located in USJ 1. Da Men is a mixed
commercial development sprawling over 8.6 acres of prime land comprising
two blocks of serviced apartments, retail lots and a 6-storey shopping
podium.On the other hand, Empire Remix is also a mixed commercial
development which consists of a few office buildings, serviced apartments
and a large shopping mall.
Tropicana Metropark is an upcoming new 88.5 acre development comprising
more than 10 high-rise buildings which include office suites, SOHO, office
towers, business suites, townhouses, shopfronts and shopping malls. It is
situated near the posh neighborhoods of USJ Heights and Subang Heights.A
new access from Federal Highway will be completed by 2016 to improve the
traffic flow around the area.On top of that, Bandar Raya Developments Bhd
(BRDB) is developing a RM2 billion 24 acres of integrated mixed development
around the same area. The same developer also takes credits for the popular
upscale shopping malls Bangsar Shopping Center and Bangsar Village.
Masjid Darul Ehsan in SS15 is the main worshipping place of Muslims in
Subang Jaya. There are plenty of mosques in the city such as in USJ 1, USJ
9 and USJ 17.
The Church of St Thomas More, Subang Jaya (STM), is a Roman Catholic
parish, located in UEP Industrial Park, USJ. The Church was officially
dedicated and opened on Sunday, 10 April 2011, by Most Rev. Murphy
Pakiam, Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur. There are many other churches in
SS13, SS15, SS17, etc.
The Indian Temple Sri Varatharajah Perumal Temple and Subang Jaya
Buddhist Temple Association are located in SS13, off Persiaran Kewajipan
after BHP Petrol Station and before Summit USJ.

The Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, which was the former international
airport of Kuala Lumpur is situated in Subang. It is now the premier hub for
corporate and private aviation in Southeast Asia.
Subang is one of the biggest constituencies in Selangor and is a diverse
area comprising people from various racial, religious and social
backgrounds. The former Member of Parliament for this constituency was
Tan Sri K.S. Nijhar, who stepped aside to allow new blood to contest. In the
2008 general election, Sivarasa Rasiah of Parti Keadilan Rakyat was
elected as the Member of Parliament for Subang, defeating his opponent by
a 6,000 vote majority. Following a redelineation exercise in 2004, the
Subang constituency now has three state seats - Bukit Lanjan, Kota
Damansara and Paya Jaras. Representatives who win the state seat sit in
the Selangor State Assembly.
4.5 What information or element that you can use to your new town

Particularly in the
commercial district of
SS15, there are Taylor's
University College, Inti
College, Metropolitan
College and ALFA
International College.
The One Academy, Sunway University College and Monash University are
situated in adjacent township Bandar Sunway. One of Malaysia's largest
private universities, Taylor's University College, also has a lakeside campus
at Jalan Taylor's near PJS 7, which is just a stone's throw away from the
Subang Jaya city centre. SEGi University College is located in USJ.
Subang Jaya has over 30 primary and secondary schools including local,
private and international. The two private schools, Sri Kuala Lumpur and Sri
Sedaya cater for both primary and secondary levels. Furthermore, there are
three international schools, namely Fairview international school which is
located in Sime UEP Industrial Park in USJ, Sunway International School at
Bandar Sunway, and the Japanese School of Kuala Lumpur at Saujana Golf
and Country Club.

The future of towns and Better
Towns
Cape Town
Cape Town is the
second-most populous
city in South Africa, after
Johannesburg, and the
provincial capital and
primate city of the
Western Cape. As the
seat of the National
Parliament, it is also the
legislative capital of the
country. It forms part of
the City of Cape Town
metropolitan municipality.
The city is famous for its harbour, for its natural setting in the Cape floral
kingdom, as well as for such well-known landmarks as Table Mountain and
Cape Point.
Located on the shore of Table Bay, Cape Town was first developed by the
Dutch East India Company as a victualling (supply) station for Dutch ships
sailing to East Africa, India, and the Far East. Jan van Riebeeck's arrival on 6
April 1652 established the first permanent European settlement in South
Africa. Cape Town quickly outgrew its original purpose as the first European
outpost at the Castle of Good Hope, becoming the economic and cultural hub
of the Cape Colony. Until the Witwatersrand Gold Rush and the development
of Johannesburg, Cape Town was the largest city in South Africa. Today it is
one of the most multicultural cities in the world, reflecting its role as a major
destination for immigrants and expatriates to South Africa. In 2011 the
metropolitan region had an estimated population of 3.74 million. The city was
named the World Design Capital for 2014 by the International Council of
Societies of Industrial Design. In 2014 Cape Town was named the best place
in the world to visit by The New York Times.
Transport
Air
Cape Town International Airport serves both domestic and international
flights. It is the second-largest airport in South Africa and serves as a major
gateway for travellers to the Cape region. Cape Town has direct flights to
most cities in South Africa as well as a number of international destinations.
Cape Town International Airport recently opened a brand new central terminal
building that was developed to handle an expected increase in air traffic as


22

tourism numbers will increase in the lead-up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Other renovations include several large new parking garages, a revamped
domestic departure terminal, a new Bus Rapid Transit system station and a
new double-decker road system. The airport's cargo facilities are also being
expanded and several large empty lots are being developed into office space
and hotels.
The Cape Town International Airport was among the winners of the World
Travel Awards for being Africa's leading airport.
Rail
The Shosholoza Meyl is the passenger rail operations of Spoornet and
operates two long-distance passenger rail services from Cape Town: a daily
service to and from Johannesburg via Kimberley and a weekly service to and
from Durban via Kimberley, Bloemfontein and Pietermaritzburg. These trains
terminate at Cape Town railway station and make a brief stop at Bellville.
Cape Town is also one terminus of the luxury tourist-oriented Blue Train as
well as the five-star Rovos Rail.
Metrorail operates a commuter rail service in Cape Town and the surrounding
area. The Metrorail network consists of 96 stations throughout the suburbs
and outskirts of Cape Town.
Road
Three national roads start in Cape Town: the N1 which links Cape Town with
Bloemfontein, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Zimbabwe; the N2 which links
Cape Town with Port Elizabeth, East London and Durban; and the N7 which
links Cape Town with the Northern Cape Province and Namibia. The N1 and
N2 both start in the Central Business District, and split to the east of the CBD,
with the N1 continuing to the north east and the N2 heading south east past
Cape Town International Airport. The N7 starts in Mitchells Plain and runs
north, intersecting with the N1 and the N2 before leaving the city.
Cape Town also has a system of freeway and dual carriageway M-roads,
which connect different parts of the city. The M3 splits from the N2 and runs to
the south along the eastern slopes of Table Mountain, connecting the City
Bowl with Muizenberg. The M5 splits from the N1 further east than the M3,
and links the Cape Flats to the CBD. The R300, which is informally known as
the Cape Flats Freeway, links Mitchells Plain with Bellville, the N1 and the N2.
Buses
Golden Arrow Bus Services operates scheduled bus services throughout the


23

Cape Town metropolitan area. Several companies run long-distance bus
services from Cape Town to the other cities in South Africa.
Taxis
Cape Town has two kinds
of taxis: metered taxis
and minibus taxis. Unlike
many cities, metered
taxis are not allowed to
drive around the city to
solicit fares and instead
must be called to a
specific location.
Cape Town metered taxi
cabs mostly operate in
the city bowl, suburbs
and Cape Town
International Airport
areas. Large companies that operate fleets of cabs can be reached by phone
and are cheaper than the single operators that apply for hire from taxi ranks
and Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. There are about a thousand meter taxis in
Cape Town. Their rates vary from R8 per kilometre to about R15 per
kilometre. The larger taxi companies in Cape Town are Excite Taxis, Cabnet
and Intercab and single operators are reachable by cellular phone. The seven
seated Toyota Avanza are the most popular with larger Taxi companies.
Meter cabs are mostly used by tourists and are safer to use than minibus
taxis.
Minibus taxis are the standard form of transport for the majority of the
population who cannot afford private vehicles.[91]
Although essential, these
taxis are often poorly maintained and are frequently not road-worthy. These
taxis make frequent unscheduled stops to pick up passengers, which can
cause accidents.With the high demand for transport by the working class of
South Africa, minibus taxis are often filled over their legal passenger
allowance. Minibuses are generally owned and operated in fleets.
Economy
Cape Town is the economic hub of the Western Cape Province, South
Africa's second main economic centre and Africa's third main economic hub
city. It serves as the regional manufacturing centre in the Western Cape. In
2009 the city's real GGP was estimated at R188.4 billion (or US$21.4 billion
on 2009 exchange rate average) and the majority of its enterprises, an
estimated 75%, are driven by small businesses.
It also hosts the primary harbour and airport in the province. The large
government presence in the city – both as the capital of the Western Cape
and the seat of the National Parliament – has led to increased revenue and
growth in industries that serve the government. Cape Town hosts many
conferences, particularly in the Cape Town International Convention Centre,
which opened in June 2003 and is due for another expansion in future. Cape
Town has recently enjoyed a booming real estate and construction market,


24

because of the 2010 World Cup as well as many people buying summer
homes in the city or relocating there permanently. Cape Town hosted 9 World
Cup matches: Six 1st round matches, one second round, one quarter final
and a semifinal. The central business district is under an extensive urban
renewal programme, with numerous new buildings and renovations taking
place under the guidance of the Cape Town Partnership.
Cape Town has four major commercial nodes, with Cape Town Central
Business District containing the majority of job opportunities and office space.
Century City, the Bellville/TygerValley strip and Claremont commercial nodes
are well established and contain many offices and corporate headquarters as
well. Most companies headquartered in the city are insurance companies,
retail groups, publishers, design houses, fashion designers, shipping
companies, petrochemical companies, architects and advertising agencies.
The most notable companies headquartered in the city are food and fashion
retailer Woolworths, supermarket chain Pick n Pay Stores and Shoprite,
fashion retailer Foschini Group, multi-national mass media giant Naspers, and
financial services giant Sanlam.Other notable companies include Belron
(vehicle glass repair and replacement group operating worldwide), CapeRay
(develops, manufactures and supplies medical imaging equipment for the
diagnosis of breast cancer), Ceres Fruit Juices (produces fruit juice and other
fruit based products), Coronation Fund Managers (third-party fund
management company), ICS (was one of the largest meat processing and
distribution companies in the world), Vida e Caffe (chain of coffee retailers),
Capitec Bank (commercial bank in the Republic of South Africa) The city is a
manufacturing base for several multi-national companies including, Johnson &
Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline, Levi Strauss & Co., Adidas, Bokomo Foods, and
Nampak.
With the highest number of successful Information Technology companies in
Africa, Cape Town is an important centre for the industry on the continent.
Growing at an annual rate of 8.5% and an estimated worth of R77 billion in
2010 nationwide the IT industry in Cape Town is becoming increasingly
important to the city's economy.
The city was recently named as the most entrepreneurial city in South Africa,
with the percentage of Capetonians pursuing business opportunities almost
three times higher than the national average. Those aged between 18–64
were 190% more likely to pursue new business, whilst in Johannesburg, the
same demographic group was only 60% more likely than the national average
to pursue a new business.


25

Dubai
Dubai is the most populous city and emirate in the United Arab Emirates
(UAE), and the second largest emirate by territorial size after the capital, Abu
Dhabi.
Dubai is located on the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf and is one of the
seven emirates that make up the country. Abu Dhabi and Dubai are the only
two emirates to have veto power over critical matters of national importance in
the country's legislature. The city of Dubai is located on the emirate's northern
coastline and heads up the Dubai-Sharjah-Ajman metropolitan area. Dubai
recently won the bid for the World Expo 2020.
Today, Dubai has emerged as a global city and business hub of the Persian
Gulf region. It is also a major transport hub for passengers and cargo. By the
1960s Dubai's economy was based on revenues from trade and, to a smaller
extent, oil exploration concessions, but oil wasn't discovered until 1966. Oil
revenue first started to flow in 1969. Dubai's oil revenue helped accelerate the
early development of the city, but its reserves are limited and production
levels are low: today, less than 5% of the emirates' revenue comes from oil.
The emirate's Western-style model of business drives its economy with the
main revenues now coming from tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial
services. Dubai has recently attracted world attention through many
innovative large construction projects and sports events. The city has become
symbolic for its skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, in particular the world's
tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Dubai has been criticized for human rights
violations concerning the city's largely South Asian workforce.Dubai's property
market experienced a major deterioration in 2008–2009 following the financial
crisis of 2007-2008, but is making a gradual recovery with help from
neighboring emirates.
As of 2012, Dubai is the 22nd most expensive city in the world and the most
expensive city in the Middle East.In 2014, Dubai's hotel rooms were rated as
the second most expensive in the world, after Geneva. Dubai was rated as


26

one of the best places to live in the Middle East by American global consulting
firm Mercer.
Law enforcement
The Dubai Police Force,
founded in 1956 in the
locality of Naif, has law
enforcement jurisdiction
over the emirate; the
force is under direct
command of Mohammed
bin Rashid al Maktoum,
ruler of Dubai.
Dubai and Ras al
Khaimah are the only
emirates that do not
conform to the federal
judicial system of the United Arab Emirates.The emirate's judicial courts
comprise the Court of First Instance, the Court of Appeal, and the Court of
Cassation. The Court of First Instance consists of the Civil Court, which hears
all civil claims; the Criminal Court, which hears claims originating from police
complaints; and Sharia Court, which is responsible for matters between
Muslims. Non-Muslims do not appear before the Sharia Court. The Court of
Cassation is the supreme court of the emirate and hears disputes on matters
of law only.
Human rights
Human rights organizations have heavily criticized violations of human rights
in Dubai. Most notably, some of the 250,000 foreign laborers in the city have
been alleged to live in conditions described by Human Rights Watch as being
"less than humane."The mistreatment of foreign workers was a subject of the
disputed 2009 documentary, Slaves in Dubai. The Dubai government has
denied any kind of labour injustices and has stated that the watchdog's
(Human Rights Watch) accusations were misguided. Towards the end of
March 2006, the government had announced steps to allow construction
unions. UAE labour minister Ali al-Kaabi said: "Labourers will be allowed to
form unions."
In 2013, the Norway-based Global Network for Rights and Development
(GNRD) released its annual International Human Rights Indicator (IHRRI)
report, which ranks the United Arab Emirates first among Arab countries and
14th globally for respecting human rights. The next Arab country on the list,
Tunisia, was ranked at 72. The UAE was also ranked six spots ahead of the
United States, which was placed 20th overall. To acquire its 14th position, the
UAE fared well across 21 individual categories, performing best in the
education category with a 94 percent finish for ensuring education for all
children. The UAE also earned a 70 percent rating for providing rights to
acceptable conditions at work. However, doubts have been raised about the
independence of GNRD and its methodology when calculating the IHRRI.


27

In October 2014, the Human Rights Watch released a report, detailing the
abuse faced by women who travel to the UAE to become domestic workers.
Cityscape
Architecture
Dubai has a rich collection of buildings and structures of various architectural
styles. Many modern interpretations of Islamic architecture can be found here,
due to a boom in construction and architectural innovation in the Arab World
in general, and in Dubai in particular, supported not only by top Arab or
international architectural and engineering design firms such as Al Hashemi
and Aedas, but also by top firms of New York and Chicago.[144]
As a result of
this boom, modern Islamic – and world – architecture has literally been taken
to new levels in skyscraper building design and technology. Dubai now has
more completed or topped-out skyscrapers higher than 2/3 km, 1/3 km, or
1/4 km than any other city. A culmination point was reached in 2010 with the
completion of the Burj Khalifa (Khalifa Tower), now by far the world's tallest
building at 829.8 m (2,722 ft). The Burj Khalifa's design is derived from the
patterning systems embodied in Islamic architecture, with the triple-lobed
footprint of the building based on an abstracted version of the desert flower
hymenocallis which is native to the Dubai region.[145]
The completion of the
Khalifa Tower, following the construction boom that began in the 1980s,
accelerated in the 1990s, and took on a rapid pace of construction unparalled
in modern human history during the decade of the 2000s, leaves Dubai with
the world's tallest skyline as of 4 January 2010.[146][147]
At the Top, Burj
Khalifa, the world’s highest observatory deck with an outdoor terrace is one of
Dubai’s most popular tourist attractions, with over 1.87 million visitors in 2013.
Burj Al Arab
The Burj Al Arab is a 7 star luxury hotel. Although the hotel is frequently
described as "the world's only seven-Star hotel", the hotel management
claims to never have done that themselves. The Burj al Arab's management
company, Jumeira Group, describes the hotel as simply a "seven-star deluxe"
property. A Jumeirah Group spokesperson is quoted as saying: "There's not a
lot we can do to stop it. We're not encouraging the use of the term. We've
never used it in our advertising.
Dubai Miracle Garden
On Valentine's Day 2013, the Dubai Miracle Garden, a 72,000-square meter
flower garden, opened in Dubailand. It is currently the world's largest flower
garden. It has 45 million flowers with re-use of waste water through drip
irrigation. During Dubai's summer months from late May to September when
the climate can get extremely hot with an average high of about 40 °C
(104 °F), the garden stays closed.
Transportation


28

Transport in Dubai is controlled by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA),
an agency of the government of Dubai, formed by royal decree in 2005. The
public transport network has in the past faced congestion and reliability issues
which a large investment programme has addressed, including over AED
70 billion of improvements planned for completion by 2020, when the
population of the city is projected to exceed 3.5 million.In 2009, according to
Dubai Municipality statistics, there were an estimated 1,021,880 cars in
Dubai.In January 2010, the number of Dubai residents who use public
transport stood at 6%.
Road
Five main routes – E 11 (Sheikh Zayed Road), E 311 (Sheikh Mohammed Bin
Zayed Road), E 44 (Dubai-Hatta Highway), E 77 (Dubai-Al Habab Road) and
E 66 (Oud Metha Road) – run through Dubai, connecting the city to other
towns and emirates. Additionally, several important intra-city routes, such as
D 89 (Al Maktoum Road/Airport Road), D 85 (Baniyas Road), D 75 (Sheikh
Rashid Road), D 73 (Al Dhiyafa Road now named as 2 December street), D
94 (Jumeirah Road) and D 92 (Al Khaleej/Al Wasl Road) connect the various
localities in the city. The eastern and western sections of the city are
connected by Al Maktoum Bridge, Al Garhoud Bridge, Al Shindagha Tunnel,
Business Bay Crossing and Floating Bridge.
The Public Bus Transport system in Dubai is run by the RTA. The bus system
services 140 routes and transported over 109 million people in 2008. By the
end of 2010, there will be 2,100 buses in service across the city. In 2006, the
Transport authority announced the construction of 500 air-conditioned (A/C )
Passenger Bus Shelters, and planned for 1,000 more across the emirates in a
move to encourage the use of public buses.
All taxi services are licenced by the RTA. Dubai licensed taxis are easily
identifiable by their cream bodywork colour and varied roof colours identifying
the operator. Dubai Taxi Corporation, a division of the RTA, is the largest
operator and has taxis with red roofs. There are four private operators: Metro
Taxis (orange roofs); Network Taxis (yellow roofs); Cars Taxis (blue roofs);
and Arabia Taxis (green roofs). In addition, Dubai Taxi Corporation has a
Ladies Taxi service, with pink roofs, which caters exclusively for female
passengers, using female drivers. The Dubai International Airport taxi
concession is operated by Dubai Taxi Corporation. There are more than 3000
taxis operating within the emirate making an average of 192,000 trips every


29

day, carrying about 385,000 persons. In 2009 taxi trips exceeded 70 million
trips serving around 140.45 million passengers.
Air
Dubai International Airport (IATA: DXB), the hub for the Emirates Airline,
serves the city of Dubai and other emirates in the country. The airport was the
15th busiest airport in the world by passenger traffic handling 40.9 million
passengers in 2009. The airport is also the busiest airport in the world by
international passenger traffic. In addition to being an important passenger
traffic hub, the airport is the 7th busiest cargo airport in world, handling
1.927 million tonnes of cargo in 2009, a 5.6% increase compared to 2008]
and
was also the 4th busiest International freight traffic airport in world. Emirates
Airline is the national airline of Dubai. As of 2009, it operated internationally
serving 101 destinations in 61 countries across six continents.
The development of Al Maktoum International Airport (IATA: DWC) was
announced in 2004. The first phase of the airport, featuring one A380 capable
runway, 64 remote stands, one cargo terminal with annual capacity for
250,000 tonnes of cargo and a passenger terminal building designed to
accommodate five million passengers per year, has been opened. When
completed, Dubai World Central-Al Maktoum International will be the largest
airport in the world with five runways, four terminal buildings and capacity for
160 million passengers and 12 million tons of cargo.
In 2014, it emerged that an American contractor, ARINC (now owned by
Rockwell Collins) claims that it has not been paid for work performed at
Terminal 3, and that it is owed some US $70 million stemming from a 2007
debt. Ahmed Bin Jassim, personal assistant to Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al
Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Airports, told an American journalist he had not
heard of ARINC.
Metro rail
A $3.89 billion Dubai Metro project is currently operational. It currently
consists of two lines (Red line and Green line) which run through the major
financial and residential areas of the city. The Metro system was partially


30

opened on September 2009. UK-based international service company Serco
Group is responsible for operating the metro. The metro comprises the Green
Line which runs from the Etisalat Station to the Creek Station (though Creek
Station is still not operational and stops at Dubai Healthcare City Station, just
before Creek Station) and the Red Line, the major back bone line, which runs
from Rashidiya Station to Jebel Ali Station Jebel Ali. A Blue and a Purple Line
have also been planned. The Dubai Metro (Green and Blue Lines) will have
70 km (43.5 mi) of track and 43 stations, 37 above ground and ten
underground. The Dubai Metro is the first urban train network in the Arabian
Peninsula. All the trains run without a driver and are based on automatic
navigation.
Waterways
There are two
major
commercial
ports in Dubai,
Port Rashid and
Port Jebel Ali.
Port Jebel Ali is
the world's
largest man-
made harbour,
the biggest port
in the Middle
East, and the
7th-busiest port
in the world. One
of the more
traditional
methods of getting across Bur Dubai to Deira is by abras, small boats that
ferry passengers across the Dubai Creek, between abra stations in Bastakiya
and Baniyas Road. The Marine Transport Agency has also implemented the
Dubai Water Bus System. Water bus is a fully air conditioned boat service
across selected destinations across the creek. One can also avail oneself of
the tourist water bus facility in Dubai. Latest addition to the water transport
system is the Water Taxi.


31

Education
The school system in Dubai follows that of the United Arab Emirates. As of
2009, there are 79 public schools run by the Ministry of Education that serve
Emiratis and expatriate Arab people as well as 145 private schools.[95]
The
medium of instruction in public schools is Arabic with emphasis on English as
a second language, while most of the private schools use English as their
medium of instruction. Most private schools cater to one or more expatriate
communities.
A number of schools offer either a CBSE or an Indian Certificate of Secondary
Education Indian syllabus. Similarly, there are also several reputable
Pakistani schools offering FBISE curriculum for expatriate children.
A number of schools also offer British primary education up to the age of
eleven. British style eleven-to-eighteen secondary schools offering General
Certificate of Secondary Education and A-Levels include Dubai Gem Private
School, Dubai British School, English Language School Pvt.. Some schools
also offer the curriculum of the United States.
Healthcare
Healthcare in Dubai can be divided into two
different sectors: public and private. Each
Emirate is able to dictate healthcare
standards according to their internal laws,
although the standards and regulations
rarely have extreme differences. Public
hospitals in Dubai were first built in the late
1950s and continued to grow with public
health initiatives. In the 1980s to 1998,
more than 20 medical clinics were built
within the Emirate. Dubai then followed the
WHO’s policy of ‘Healthcare for all by 2000’ and continued to build.

6.UNiEA
6.1 How did you came up with the solution to create this new town?
First of all , the city I chose to design is a sky city. The first that came up to my
mind is a hovercraft. So the way my city is floating on the sky is the same
concept as a hovercraft. There are 4 gigantic fan that is holding at the the side
of my city and the main point of the fan is to absorb the air from the top and
increases the air pressure below the fan so that the air pressure at the bottom
of the whole city will hold up the city and supports the heavy weight of the city.
6.2 What is the important characteristic and elements?
The main aim of Uniea city is to maintain and preserve environment. By doing
that , there will be many flora and fauna planted all around the city. There will
also be an eco park located at the centre of the city. The main way of
generating electricity in this city is by using the dam located at the far end of
the town.The light green are shows the eco park of the city


33

The dark green area shows the water reservoir of the town. When it reaches
to a certain level, the water will be released into the bottom . When the water
is released into the turbine, it moves many turbines that is set up before it
reaches the water filter. The turbine therefore generates electricity to the city.
After that the water will flow into the water filter and filter the water into
drinking water and supply to all houses in the city.
6.3


34

Resedential Area
The pink spot indicates the residential area of my town. It consist 6 main
blocks of high technology service apartments and a huge event hall for the
residents to hold event or celebrations
Government


35

The red spot indicates the government area. The entrance to the bottom
layers of the city is also located in the governments area as the government
area will be strictly guarded and protected. Politicians and Leaders will be
located in this zone for maximum security purposes.
Commercial Area
The blue spot indicates the commercial area in uniea city. It
consists of big shopping malls , business buildings , entertainment centers
and also trading centres


36

Industrial Area
The brown spot indicates the industrial area of uniea city.It
is located at that area so that it will not affect residence in
the city and also majority crowd will be in the educational
area and business area. Industrial pollutions will be
reduced in uniea city to prevent pollutions in the city.


37

Emergency and Justice Area
The purple colour zone shows where places like hospital ,
police station, fire fighting department , court , etc will be
located. It is located at the centre of Uniea for easy and
convenient emergency acess to it.


38

Airport
The yellow area indicates where the airport will be
located. Since it is not big enough to support a runway in
Uniea city, the only way to enter this city is by helicopters.
There will be many helicopter pads placed. There will also
be an airport for passngers to wait for their helicopter to
depart.


39

Cultural Area
The grey shaded area shows where cultural areas will be
located. It is located next to the ecopark and places like
church , mosque , temples will be located at that area. It is
located in that area so the multi racial events can be held
In the eco park.


40

Educational Area
The orange coloured area shows the educational of Uniea
city. Primary school , Secondary School , College and also
University will be included in this huge area. The campus
is located next to the residential area for easy access for
the students. It is also next to the commercial so that
students can access the commercial area easily.


41

Agriculture
The brown spot indicates the agriculture area of Uniea
city. Since it is located high above ground , it will be very
difficult to import food. Therefore Uniea city will need its
own plantation. It will be located at the end of the town
because there is the most sunlight in that area and it will
give a fresh environment to the residential area next to it.


42

6.3 Conclusion about Uniea
In conclusion, Uniea will be a city that no human on earth will expect. The
main aim to be achieved by uniea is to protect and preserve environment.
Why must It be a floating city? Simply because in the future, global warming is
so badly affected we have to build floating cities to lower the temperature of
cities. Uniea will be a city that everyone will dreamed to be in. It is a perfect
city in every category.
7 Conclusion
What I have learned from this part of the project is our mother earth has been
badly damaged and nothing has been really done to save it. We should start
saving the mother nature. Next up , we should start to design future cities and
building not only that doesn’t harm the nature but also to save the nature.
With the technology nowadays , many things can be done without human
hands , but there are also people who abuse the use of technologies such as
hacking banks. I think that securities should be tighter in the world now and
therefore in the future floating city I desgined, security is at a very strict level
and there will not be any abusing of technology happeing.
