1.Introduction
In this project, I am required to pretend that I am the mayor of the “X”
city and to propose a better future city for the people because the city is no
longer livable. In order to create a better city, I will have to find out what a
city is, its development and history, components, elements and what makes a
better city.
This project is aimed to expose us on how to design a sustainable and
livable city for the people. People ignore design that ignores people. Hence,
we have to design a place that suits the people needs. In order to do so, I
have to do researches on city planning.
After doing the comprehensive researches on what makes a better
city, I am required to produce a report to demonstrate my understandings
and the collection of data on what a city is.

2.The City
2.1 The city definition
A city is a relatively permanent and highly organized center of
population, of greater size or importance than a town or village. Think of the
complexity of road systems, transportation, building laws, markets, food
distribution, educational systems, etc., and you get an idea of what is meant
by that statement. But that complexity didn't spring up overnight. It is the
result of long years of human development.
4

For instance, the city of Kuala Lumpur, in the 1850s, it was nothing but a
large tin mine. Through years of development, it became the federal capital
and most populous city in Malaysia. It is also an urban agglomeration of 6.9
million. It is among the fastest growing metropolitan regions in the country, in
terms of population and economy. In a nutshell, it took over a century to
spring up to what it seems today.

2.2 Brief history of city
The first cities appeared in
Neolithic times when the
development of agricultural
techniques assured surplus crop
yields large enough to sustain a
permanent populations. Ancient
Greece saw the creation of the
city-state, a form also important in
the emergence of the Roman
Empire as well as the medieval Italian trading centers of Venice, Genoa, and
Florence. After The Middle Ages, cities came
increasingly under the political control of
centralized government and served the
interests of the nation-state. The Industrial
Revolution further transformed city life, as
factory cities blossomed rapidly in England,
northwestern Europe, and the northeastern
U.S. By the mid-20th century, 30–60% of a country’s population might be living
in its major urban centers. With the rise of the automobile came the growth of
suburbs and urban sprawl, as
factories, offices, and residences
erected in earlier periods became
aged and obsolete. Today many
cities suffer from lack of adequate
housing, sanitation, recreational
space, and transportation facilities,
and face problems of inner-city decay or burgeoning shantytowns. Local
governments have sought to alleviate these problems through urban
planning.

2.3 What makes a city?
Societies that live in cities are often called civilizations. 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.
Besides that, a city consists of infrastructures and facilities. A city is also a
place where human activities centered. Education is centered at the city
too. Last but not least, societies that live in cities are often called civilizations.

2.4 What makes a good city?
Now we know what a city is, but what is a good city? A good city uses
technology and communication to create more efficient agglomerations in
terms of competitiveness, innovation, environment, energy, utilities,
governance, and delivery of services to the citizen.
The city achieves smart growth. Smart growth identifies and nurtures the very
best opportunities for growth, plans ways to cope with its demands,
integrates environmental thinking, and ensures that all citizens enjoy a city’s
8

prosperity. Good city leaders also think about regional growth because as a
metropolis expands, they will need the cooperation of surrounding
municipalities and regional service providers. Integrating the environment
into economic decision making is vital to smart growth: cities must invest in
infrastructure that reduces emissions, waste production, and water use, as
well as in building high-density communities.
They do more with less. Great cities secure all revenues due, explore
investment partnerships, embrace technology, make organizational changes
that eliminate overlapping roles, and manage expenses. Successful city
leaders have also learned that, if designed and executed well, private–public
partnerships can be an essential element of smart growth, delivering lower-
cost, higher-quality infrastructure and services.
They win support for change. Change is not easy, and its momentum can
even attract opposition. Successful city leaders build a high-performing team
of civil servants, create a working environment where all employees are
accountable for their actions, and take every opportunity to forge a
stakeholder consensus with the local population and business community.
They take steps to recruit and retain top talent, emphasize collaboration, and
train civil servants in the use of technology.
