Planners drawings are maps and diagrams made at small scales showing topography, buildings, and communications. They are used by town planners to collect data and show proposed developments. Planners drawings are made on tracing paper over maps in ink outlines and color, showing details like land use zones. Case studies show examples like Saemanguem Island City in South Korea, which was constructed from 1991-1996 to provide agricultural land, and Sydney, whose first official city plan in 1909 designated zones and boundaries that guided development.

11. What can land be used for?
• Housing, stores, parks, manufacturing etc
• Building a city is like putting pieces
together
• However, certain land uses will not fit
together well
• This is called incompatibility.
Communication

12. Colour coded maps?
• Town planners think in terms of land use
categories and create colour-coded land use
maps.
Categories are called ZONES and the general
zones include names like PUBLIC and SEMI
PUBLIC, INDUSTRIAL, COMMERICIAL, PROPERTY,
RESIDENTIAL, PARKS & RECREATION, and
AGRICULTURE.
Communication

13. Colour Codes
• Commercial Zone (RED): Businesses that sell
goods and services to local citizens (retail) or
other businesses (whole)
• Industrial Zone (PURPLE): Highly developed
factories, warehouses, or plants that produce
mass quantities of a product
• Residential Zone (YELLOW): Places for people to
live (Homes, Apartments)
Communication

14. Colour Codes
• Public/ Semi-Public (Civic) Zone (BLUE): An Area
that serves or is used by all people
• Parks/Recreation Zone (BROWN): A piece of land
reserved for public us and recreation
• Agriculture Zone (GREEN): Land used for
livestock, growing crops, and required farm
buildings (Barns and Farmsteads)
Communication

15. Definition
• Land Use: The way that land is used by
humans.
• Zones: Areas which allow only certain land
uses
Importance of Colour Coding
• helps distinguish to the owners, neighbours,
and local officials what land uses can be built
or constructed on which land.
