Urban land use
Year 10 KS4 lesson. At the end of the lesson students will be able to describe the changes of land use throughout a city, and identify the six different land use zones.
Lesson 3 land use pompey
This document provides information about different urban land use zones: central business district (CBD), industrial zone, inner city, inner suburbs, and outer suburbs. It includes descriptions of each zone and examples of typical land uses and locations within each zone for the city of Portsmouth, England. Students are tasked with identifying zones in photos, mapping zone locations in Portsmouth, and describing how land use has changed over time in satellite images from 1999 to 2010.
London CBD
This document summarizes the key characteristics of London and problems within its Central Business District (CBD). London is the capital and largest city of England, with a population of over 7 million people. As the center of business and commerce, London's CBD experiences high land values and lack of space. This leads to pollution from traffic and industry, as well as urban decline as businesses and residents relocate outside the CBD. The city administration has implemented measures to address these problems, such as restrictions on traffic and pollution.
Project Outline
The objective of the project was to develop urban infrastructure to improve Thang Long Industrial Park and the northern Van Tri new urban area near Hanoi. The project built road and drainage systems over 2 years to support a population increase of 110,000 people living on 2,640 hectares of land. It was funded by JICA at a total cost of $18 million and involved designing and constructing roads, drainage canals, pumping stations and other water infrastructure to service the new development.
Urban Land Use In Stoke On Trent
The document describes the Burgess model of urban land use and how it applies to Stoke-on-Trent. It outlines the Central Business District (CBD) of Hanley, characterized by large shops, banks, and offices. Surrounding the CBD is the inner city, consisting of older, dense terraced housing and former industrial areas like Etruria undergoing redevelopment. Beyond this lies the inner suburbs of semi-detached homes and neighborhood shops, followed by the outer suburbs featuring larger detached homes, recreational areas, and modern shopping centers and factories located on cheaper land.
Urban Land use
The document discusses urban land use and settlement patterns. It introduces the Burgess model, which describes the different zones in a typical city from the central business district (CBD) moving outward. The zones include the CBD, inner city, inner suburbs, outer suburbs, and rural-urban fringe. Land use and building types change across these zones, with denser development and taller buildings closer to the CBD and less dense, lower buildings further out. Population, economic activity, and land values also decrease with distance from the city center.
Urban land use
Urban Land use from the Human Elective for the Irish Leaving Cert. Contains some past exam questions. Deals with the Harp Project and urban issues in Dublin and Paris
L3 land use in urban areas website
This document discusses land use patterns in urban areas using models of urban land use zones. It summarizes the Burgess and Hoyt models which divide cities into concentric zones and sectors based on land value and use:
The Central Business District (CBD) contains commercial areas, offices, and high density buildings. The inner city surrounds the CBD and contains high density housing and former factories. The suburbs contain lower density housing from the interwar period with gardens and facilities. The rural-urban fringe is on the edge of the city with a mixture of housing, farms, and recreational areas.

Lesson 1 intro to urban land use
1. The document discusses land use in urban areas, describing how urban land is divided into zones including the central business district (CBD), inner city, inner suburbs, and outer suburbs.
2. It summarizes the work of urban theorist Ernest Burgess, who proposed that cities develop in concentric zones, with the CBD at the center and different land uses like residential and industrial in each successive zone moving outward.
3. The document provides examples of typical land uses and characteristics within each zone, such as high-rise buildings and expensive land in the CBD, terraced housing in the inner city, and detached houses with driveways in the outer suburbs.
12 typical urban land use models power point
The document describes Burgess's concentric zone model from 1924 and Hoyt's sector model from 1939. Burgess's model divided a city into 5 zones reflecting land use and socioeconomic status, with the central business district at the center and residential and industrial zones radiating outwards. Hoyt's model accounted for transportation networks and depicted zones in wedge-shaped sectors. Both models aimed to explain urban land use patterns but had limitations as they did not consider changes over time or mass transportation.
Out of Town Shopping Centres
Merry Hill shopping centre was built between 1984-1989 on the site of the former Round Oak Steelworks in Brierley Hill. It has over 185 shops and attracts many shoppers with its large stores and 10,000 free parking spaces. However, it had negative impacts on surrounding towns like Dudley, leading to high vacancy rates and declining trade in their town centres. Future plans aim to connect Merry Hill to Brierley Hill town centre and redevelop the area with new leisure facilities, housing, and businesses to better integrate the shopping centre.

Living space
Urbanization is increasing as more people live in cities. Suburbanization is driving the expansion of residential areas outside cities, encouraged by population growth, preferences for larger homes with gardens, and improved public transportation. Regeneration initiatives put new life in urban areas by improving housing, amenities, and attracting jobs. Central business districts are the commercial hearts of cities, containing many shops, offices, and public buildings, surrounded by older structures, garages, workshops, and some housing, with transition zones mixing commercial and residential uses.

City Council Presentation - Boulder Junction Update
This document provides an update on projects in Boulder Junction, Colorado. It discusses the Transit Village Area Plan implementation and financing, options for the city-owned site at 30th and Pearl streets, and preliminary analysis for relocating Fire Station #3. Next steps include adopting a form-based code for the Pollard site, further analysis of Fire Station #3 based on Council direction, and potentially putting a funding measure on the 2017 ballot. The document seeks Council's feedback on implementation status, next steps for the city site, and preliminary fire station analysis.
Winchester vision 2020
This is a challenging and visionary proposal for how 2000 new homes and additional employment and community facilities can be integrated into the historic city of Winchester. The presentation was given to Winchester residents on 6th August 2011 by Paul Bulkeley of Snug Projects Architects. Astonishingly the ideas received almost 100% support from the audience. The strategy not only provides much needed housing, it also improves the cities much loved setting, creating places where people want to live, work and play. Is this a new way of promoting development?
Reay Road
The document discusses the Eastern Waterfront area of Mazgaon in Mumbai. It notes that the finger bunders were originally built for wood and coal trade but have lost relevance, and parts have been replaced by iron and steel storage or encroached upon. The area still hosts ship breaking, an environmentally hazardous activity, despite steel markets officially relocating. It also discusses scrap metal industries in the area and the related informal settlements encroaching on land.
Express city plots sonipat 9811237690
Express Builder is launching a new project called Express City in Sonipat, Haryana. Express City will be a well-planned township spread over acres of landscaped area featuring world-class infrastructure like schools, shopping complexes, and more. The project is located near the KMP Expressway and Rajiv Gandhi Education City and will benefit from proposed connectivity to metro rail and an orbital rail corridor along the KMP Expressway. Minimum plot sizes start at 270 square yards and investments begin from Rs. 40.5 lakh.
The Burgess Model
The Burgess model describes the patterns of land use in cities with concentric zones expanding outward from the center. The center zone (CBD) is the oldest part of the city containing commercial areas. The transition zone immediately outside the CBD is mixed-use and undergoing renewal. The inner city zone further out typically contains older terraced housing and some industry. The inner and outer suburbs zones contain newer housing, parks, and other amenities spreading to the edges of the city. The model assumes socio-economic status decreases with distance from the CBD.

The document summarizes the housing challenges and environmental issues faced by the cities of Bombay (now Mumbai) and Calcutta (now Kolkata) as they rapidly expanded in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Bombay had an extremely high population density, with most working people living in overcrowded multi-story tenements known as chawls that lacked basic amenities. Reclamation projects expanded the city by leveling surrounding hills and landfill, but still could not keep up with the growing population. Similarly, Calcutta struggled with air pollution from coal-burning industries and homes, becoming the first Indian city to pass smoke nuisance legislation in 1863, though enforcement was lax.
Burgess and Hoyt Land Use Models
The document describes three models of urban land use: Burgess's 1924 model of Chicago which had 5 socioeconomic zones radiating from the city center; Hoyt's 1939 sector model based on 142 US cities which arranged zones in wedge-shaped sectors along transport lines; and the functional zone model which arranges zones from the CBD to outer suburbs based on housing type and infrastructure. The models attempt to explain typical land use patterns in cities but have limitations as they do not account for variations between individual cities.

case study highline
The High Line in Manhattan was an abandoned elevated railway that was reused as an urban renewal project. Built in the 1930s, it fell into disuse by the 1980s. In the 2000s, Friends of the High Line advocated to preserve and reuse the structure as a public park. The project transformed the area, increasing property values and catalyzing new development. It proved successful by using various funding mechanisms and zoning incentives to develop in stages while protecting the rail infrastructure under federal rail banking policies.

This document discusses the economic and land use impacts of transport projects through several case studies:
- The Melbourne City Loop provided increased accessibility within the CBD and suburbs in the 1970s-80s, leading to patronage increases until exhausting spare capacity in the mid-2000s.
- The Western Ring Road relocated Melbourne's industry along its route, allowing redevelopment in Docklands and residential growth along the route.
- CityLink connects several radial freeways and the port and airport, delivering major economic benefits since its construction in the 1990s by improving accessibility.
- In Auckland, the Britomart Transport Centre and subsequent station redevelopments increased rail patronage and the Northern Busway further boosted
The Hub's Metropolis
This document summarizes 200 years of development patterns in metropolitan Boston from traditional town centers in the 1800s to modern smart growth and transit-oriented development. It outlines 10 eras of development including country estates, railroad suburbs, streetcar suburbs, and postwar automobile suburbs. Each era produced distinctive land use, transportation, housing, and open space patterns. The document discusses the roles of coordinated infrastructure planning and vernacular development over time. It raises questions about accommodating future population growth and challenges of incrementalism and NIMBYism. Examples of recent smart growth projects aiming to address sprawl and create walkable mixed-use communities are provided.

1) Grenoble has taken steps towards energy transition through citizen involvement, remunicipalizing utilities, and promoting sustainable development policies.
2) A citizen assembly helped shape Grenoble's energy transition roadmap, which aims to retrofit thousands of homes and lower the city's reliance on fossil fuels through renewable energy.
3) Governance of Grenoble's public utilities has moved from private concessions to greater public control, with the goal of reducing private shares in energy utilities from 42% to 15% by 2018.The Project Management of the Manhattan High Line
The Manhattan High Line started as an elevated freight railway in the 1930s. After falling into disuse in the 1980s, two local residents fought to transform it into a public park. They founded Friends of the High Line to advocate for preservation and redevelopment. After overcoming political and legal hurdles, the group secured funding and support. Construction began in 2005 and the first section of the High Line park opened in 2009, now receiving over 4 million visitors annually.
Birmingham Cbd Pres
The document summarizes the redevelopment of Birmingham's city center, known as the CBD, focusing on the Bullring area. It describes how the CBD declined in the 1980s but has since undergone major redevelopment projects, including:
- Demolishing the old Bullring shopping center in 2000 and constructing a new $500 million center that opened in 2003.
- Restoring Moor Street train station to improve transportation access to the CBD.
- Developing other areas like The Mailbox and International Convention Centre to attract businesses and visitors.
- Building new luxury apartments to attract residents back to living in the city center.
The redevelopment aims to bring investment, jobs, and shoppers back to
Population Revision
The document provides information about world population growth and changes, using examples from Malawi as an LEDC country and Germany as an MEDC country. It discusses factors that influence birth rates, such as education levels, infant mortality rates, and cost of living. Malawi has a high population growth rate of 2.4% due to high infant mortality and reliance on children for labor and support. Germany has a low birth rate of 8.18/1000 and decreasing population due to costs of raising children, focus on careers, and good healthcare lowering infant mortality. The aging population in Germany may cause problems with fewer workers and increased healthcare and pension costs.

Global Warming Revision
Global warming is causing both positive and negative impacts for the UK. Potential positive impacts include longer growing seasons and the ability to grow new crops in southern parts of the country. However, negative impacts outweigh the positives, such as many coastal areas being flooded by rising sea levels, loss of farmland and natural areas, and increased extreme weather events. International agreements like the Kyoto Protocol have aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate global warming, but signing and enforcement among countries has been a challenge.
Stevenage Revision
The document discusses a proposed housing development in Stevenage West that has faced opposition from campaigners. It presents perspectives from different groups involved in the debate. Developers argue the development will create jobs and homes close together, reducing commuting. The County Council says it will be a sustainable development with transport and energy infrastructure. Employers and homebuyers say more housing is needed to support the local economy. However, conservationists oppose losing greenbelt land and habitats.
Kenya Revision
Kenya is an LEDC that relies heavily on agriculture and tourism is a major industry. Tourism provides jobs and infrastructure development but can also negatively impact the environment and local cultures if not managed sustainably. Into Africa is an eco-tourism company in Kenya that aims to support local communities through fair employment, community projects, and cultural preservation while minimizing negative impacts on the wildlife and environment through practices like limiting group sizes and restricting vehicles to designated paths.
Waste Revision
The amount of household waste collected in St Albans averages 600-700 tonnes per week but rises to 900 tonnes around Christmas and New Year, which is a large amount for the council to deal with. To meet government targets for reducing landfill waste and increasing recycling, the council has started encouraging residents to categorize their waste using a new twin bin service with one bin for landfill waste and another for green waste and recycling collected in boxes.
Lake District Revision
The Lake District National Park is located in northwest England and covers over 2,000 square kilometers, making it the largest national park in the UK. It is easily accessible by car from major cities like Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, and Sheffield within a 2 hour drive, and also has a main train line running through Kendal. The landscape features high mountains, deep valleys, and large lakes that attract a variety of recreational users, but this also leads to conflicts between different groups over issues like noise, litter, and damage to natural areas. The Lake District National Park Authority works to manage these conflicts and protect the landscape.

Acid Rain Revision
Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons from coal power stations, industry and vehicle exhausts which are deposited by rain and cause environmental damage. It dissolves nutrients from soils and kills fish and trees in Germany, Sweden and Norway. Stone buildings and monuments are also corroded, and acid mists cause health issues. Governments have agreed emission targets and encourage renewable energy and public transport to reduce the causes, while lime is spread on affected lakes and forests to counter the effects.

Barton Revision
Barton-on-Sea is a tourist resort town located on the southeast coast of England that is experiencing high rates of coastal erosion due to its location along Christchurch Bay. This erosion threatens nearby houses, hotels, holiday parks, and roads located close to the cliff edge. The town has undertaken coastal management efforts to protect Barton from the effects of erosion.
Ledc Cities Rapid Growth
Rapid population growth is causing issues in cities in LEDCs. Towns and cities are growing due to high birth rates, low death rates, and migration from rural areas. Migration to cities is driven by push factors like lack of jobs and food in rural areas, and pull factors like better jobs and services in cities. This rapid urban growth is straining cities through increased pollution, lack of affordable housing like overcrowded favelas, and insufficient employment opportunities. Solutions proposed include low-cost housing schemes, self-help housing projects, and new planned towns to relieve population pressure.
Mozambique Floods 2000
Mozambique experienced catastrophic flooding in 2000 due to continuous heavy rainfall over 5 weeks that was exacerbated by a hurricane, totaling over 1,163mm of rain compared to the average of 177mm. The floods killed many thousands of people, left 1 million homeless, and caused huge economic losses. Disease and malnutrition spread due to a lack of clean water, food, and medical supplies after infrastructure like bridges and roads were destroyed. Flood risk is managed through limited monitoring, but the country cannot afford major prevention schemes due to poverty. International aid helped rescue and supply refugee camps, though conditions remained poor.
Montserrat[1]
Montserrat is a small Caribbean island where a volcanic eruption has devastated the southern region since 1995. The eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano has forced over half of the island's population to evacuate as the volcano remains active. The eruption is caused by subduction of tectonic plates under Montserrat and has destroyed infrastructure like roads, ports, and airports while covering the landscape in ash. The British government has provided aid to resettle displaced residents but responses have been complicated by the ongoing risks from the still-active volcano.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
