Planning & Urban Design Principles for Non-PlannersVierbicher
Much of the development that has occurred in Wisconsin and around the nation over the past 60 years has created a feeling of sameness from community to community. Our development pattern has separated uses from one another and catered to cars at the expense of pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit. The New Urbanism promotes the creation and restoration of diverse, walkable, compact, vibrant mixed-use communities built with integrated housing, employment, shops, and schools. It is a revival of the lost art of "placemaking" to raise our quality of life and standard of living by creating neighborhoods, not just subdivisions, and building main streets, not just shopping malls.
This document provides an overview of an investigation and data collection on the ancient city of Mohenjo-daro in Pakistan from around 2600 BCE. It describes key features of Mohenjo-daro such as its sophisticated urban planning layout in a grid pattern, use of uniform baked and mud bricks to construct buildings, and significant architectural structures like the Great Bath, an early public water tank. The city was a major center of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization until it was abandoned around 1900 BCE, and it demonstrates an advanced level of civilization for its time period in many aspects of urban planning and civil engineering.
This document discusses parks and open spaces. It describes the history and importance of parks for public recreation. There are different types of parks, including neighborhood parks ranging from 1 to 15 acres, community parks from 16 to 99 acres, and special use parks for a single purpose like zoos. The document outlines standards for park acreage per population according to the NRPA. Parks provide benefits such as aesthetic value, substitution for other land uses, and boosting local economies through tourism. Issues discussed include lack of parks in low-income areas and crime in isolated parks. Solutions involve increasing activities and access points. The document calls for more funding for urban green spaces.
This document discusses the hierarchy of urban green spaces in cities. It aims to study the relationship between urban greens and city structure, ecology, and character. The objectives are to define urban green, identify limitations to green space growth, discuss integration of greens at different scales (city, neighborhood, street, building), analyze case studies, and compare existing scenarios to standards. It then discusses types of urban green spaces like parks and greenways. The benefits of urban green spaces are also outlined, including environmental, social, and economic advantages. The document analyzes Chandigarh as a case study for its meticulously planned hierarchy of open spaces integrated throughout the city. It describes the city's green areas like the Leisure Valley and major parks
In early 2019 Habitat for Humanity in Paterson, NJ contacted the APA-NJ chapter to talk about their need for a team of volunteer planners. They wanted to create a concept for a green space along the Passaic River in the Northside Neighborhood of Paterson, NJ. They wanted two types of green space; a walkway along the river, called Riverwalk, and a sports fields in an area along the river dominated by abandoned and marginal industrial and residential properties. The Northside Neighborhood is across the Passaic River from Downtown Paterson.

The document summarizes several key social psychology concepts discussed in a group project on relationship:
1) Self-verification theory asserts that people want others to perceive them according to their own self-beliefs and feelings.
2) Self-serving bias refers to taking personal responsibility for successes yet externalizing blame for failures.
3) Negativity bias describes giving more attention to negative experiences over positive ones.
4) Confirmation bias involves favoring information that confirms existing beliefs.
5) Stereotypes refer to overgeneralized beliefs about groups that ignore individual differences.
Cognitive dissonance, social interaction, looking-glass self, counterfactual thinking, and the halo effect are explored through a comic strip about a grandmother named Grace. Grace felt unhappy with how her family treated her. She drank a potion on the advice of a fortune teller hoping it would improve her situation. When Grace disappeared, her family regretted their past actions and realized how much they took her for granted. After Grace returned, her family appreciated her more and their positive attitudes toward her led to happier family relationships going forward.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Better City Guidelines and Issues
An attractive city includes :
• Variety and order – Bulidings should be uniform in appearance and layout – to
a degree.
• Visible life – “There are streets that are dead and streets that are alive. And in general, we
crave the live ones.”
• Compactness – “All the most beautiful compact cities have squares… The ideal square
must offer a sense of containment not claustrophobia.”
• Orientation and mystery – “By definition, cities are HUGE. But the cities that a lot of
people love also have lots of little backstreets and small lanes where you can feel cozy and
get a bit lost.”
• Scale – “Modern cities are all about BIG things. Joseph Campbell once wrote, ‘If you want to
see what a society really believes in, look at what the biggest buildings on the horizon are
dedicated too…’ The ideal height for any city block is 5 stories high – no more… Of course,
occasionally there can be a huge building, but lets keep that for something really special –
something all of humanity can love.”

• A sense of the local – “Buildings shouldn’t look all the same because their cultural and
geographic qualities are different.”
A good city to walk in and to stay in for a while includes:
• room to walk with dignity, integrity and without overcrowding
• comfortable climatic conditions – sun and shade depending on the season and protection
from the wind
• pleasant facades at street level to stroll alongside and observe
• good conditions for people with disabilities and people with prams
• clear structure in the pedestrian system – it should be easy to find your way around
• a pedestrian system that connects important destinations
• ability to promenade through the city
• good walking rhythm with few interruptions
• few and short waiting times at intersections
• many well-placed benches
• widespread secondary seating – such as steps and edges of planter boxes
• well-situated cafes and outdoor restaurants
• beautiful and effective lighting.
A good city for social and cultural exchanges includes:
• space for cultural activities and communication
• space for street theatre, clowns and jesters, music and small-scale commercial activities
• democratic public spaces for all.
A good city for talking, watching and experiencing includes:
• low level of noise and few disturbances
• intimate public spaces
• fine views and good details
• interesting facades, window displays and exhibits
• a lively, diverse and safe city to move around in

Ancient and old cities
Derinkuyu('Deep Well'): Melagobia, Malakopi.
The largest of the Cappadocia underground complexes is multi-storey (18 storeys, 85m
deep), with fresh flowing water, ventilation shafts and individually separated
living quarters or 'apartments', shops, communal rooms, wells, tombs, arsenals
and escape routes.It has the potential to house up to 20,000 people. The complex was
air conditioned throughout, with 52 air shafts discovered so far, one of which is 55m
deep.. some wells were not connected with the surface, presumably in order to protect
the dwellers from poisoning during raids.
Underground City Features
• Deepest of the discovered underground cities with eight floors – reaching depths of 280
feet (85m)
• Excavation is incomplete but archaeologists estimate Derinkuyu could contain up to 18
subterranean levels.

• Miles of tunnels are blackened from centuries of burning torches. They were strategically
carved narrow to force would-be invaders to crawl single-file.
• Eventually the tunnels reach hundreds of caves large enough to shelter tens of thousands
of people.
• churches, food stores, livestock stalls, wine cellars, and schools, temporary graveyards, an
ironic twist, bodies were stored underground until it was safe to return them the surface.
• Over one hundred unique entrances to Derinkuyu are hidden behind bushes, walls, and
courtyards of surface dwellings. Access points were blocked by large circular stone doors,
up to 5 feet (1.5m) in diameter and weighing up to 1,100 lbs (500 kilos).
• The stone doors protected the underground city from surface threats, and were installed so
each level could be sealed individually. The tunneling architects included thousands of
ventilation shafts varying in size up to 100 feet deep (30m).
circular stones would seal access to the passageways (courtesy thingshappendownhere)
An underground river filled wells while a rudimentary irrigation system transported drinking water.
Derinkuyu was more than just residences, storage, and tunnels. When residents fled underground,
business continued as usual. Commercial spaces included communal meeting areas, dining rooms,
grocers, religious places for worship – even shopping.

Arsenals stored weapon caches while hidden escape routes offered residents a last-chance for a
getaway.

Unique to Derinkuyu
On the second floor a barrel-vaulted ceiling tops a spacious room believed to have been a religious
school. Rooms to the left provided individual studies.
A staircase between the third and fourth levels takes visitors to a cruciform church measuring
approximately 65 x 30 ft (20m x 9m) in size.
A large 180-ft
(55m) shaft (pictured above) was likely used as the primary well – both for residents underground
and on the surface. To prevent any surface aggressor attempt to poison drinking water, control of
the water supply originated from the lower floors and moved upward, with lower floors able to cut-
off supply to upper levels.
On the third level a 3 mile-long (5 km) tunnel connected Derinkuyu to nearby underground
city Kaymakli – although it is no longer functioning as parts of this tunnel have collapsed.

Tokyo City, Japan.
Greater Tokyo is the world's most populous metropolitan area and is the center of Japanese culture,
finance, and government. A bustling cosmopolitan city, Tokyo is also a major transportation hub and a
world economic and industrial center. The city boasts a large number of world-class institutions of
higher education, the highest concentration of universities in Japan. Tokyo was known as Edo until
1868, when the Japanese imperial family was moved there from Kyoto. Metropolitan Tokyo is
generally defined as the four prefectures of Tokyo, Saitaima, Kanagawa, and Chiba, while the city of
Tokyo proper usually refers to the 23 wards in Tokyo prefecture itself. The metropolitan area includes
the major cities of Yokohama (the second largest city in Japan), Kawasaki, and Chiba, as well as rural
mountain regions west of the city, the Izu Islands outside Tokyo Bay, and the Bonin Islands to the
southeast in the Pacific Ocean.

The future city/cities
The Earthscraper, designed by BNKR Arquitectura, is the Skyscraper’s antagonist in the historic
urban landscape of Mexico City where the latter is condemned and the preservation of the built
environment is the paramount ambition. It preserves the iconic presence of the city square and the
existing hierarchy of the buildings that surround it. More images and architects’ description after the
break.
aerial view
The Historic Center of Mexico City is composed of different layers of cities superimposed on top of
each other. When the Aztecs first came into the Valley of Mexico they built their pyramids on the lake
they found there. When a new and bigger pyramid was conceived and the Aztec Empire grew in size
and power, they did not search for a new site, they just built on it and around the existing one. In this
manner, the pyramids are composed of different layers of historical periods.

main
section
When the Spanish arrived in America and ultimately conquered the Aztecs, they erected their
Christian temples atop their pyramids. Eventually their whole colonial city was built on top of the Aztec
one. In the 20th century, many colonial buildings were demolished and modern structures raised on
the existing historic foundations. So in a way, Mexico City is like a massive layered cake: a modern
metropolis built on the foundations of a colonial city that was erected on top of the ancient pyramids
that were constructed on the lake.

The main square of Mexico City, known as the “Zocalo”, is 57,600 m2 (240m x 240m), making it one
of the largest in the world. It is bordered by the Cathedral, the National Palace and the City
Government buildings. A flagpole stands at its center with an enormous Mexican flag ceremoniously
raised and lowered each day. This proved as the ideal site for the Earthscraper: an inverted
skyscraper that digs down through the layers of cities to uncover our roots.

The design is an inverted pyramid with a central void to allow all habitable spaces to enjoy natural

All about The Pamphlet
pamphlet
A pamphlet is an unbound booklet (that is, without a hard cover or binding). It may consist of a
single sheet of paper that is printed on both sides and folded in half, in thirds, or in fourths (called
a leaflet), or it may consist of a few pages that are folded in half and saddle stapled at the crease
to make a simple book. Its purposes are:
• business communications.
• To educate, inform, persuade, or entertain your intended audience.
• To mobilize people to support your cause.
• To advertise a meeting or specific event.
• To popularize your slogans and messages.
