Radiant city concept of le corbusier
- Le Corbusier was an influential 20th century architect and pioneer of modern architecture. He developed principles like pilotis and roof gardens.
- His 1925 plan for the Radiant City proposed vertical housing blocks surrounded by green space, with strict zoning and an emphasis on transportation. It aimed to provide a better urban lifestyle.
- Though never fully realized, the Radiant City influenced modern planning with its high-density approach. Le Corbusier later applied these principles to his master plan for Chandigarh, India in the 1950s.
Neighborhood concepts
- The document discusses two historical neighborhood concepts - Radburn neighborhood model by Stein and Wright, and Clarence Perry's neighborhood unit concept. Both aimed to design self-contained neighborhoods with boundaries, green spaces, and pedestrian-focused streets, though they differed in maximum walking distances and treatment as overlapping vs separate units.
- Neighborhoods are considered the basic building block of cities in planning, with the goal of improving social and physical environments. However, increased mobility has challenged the social benefits of neighborhoods.
- Contemporary developments often prioritize financial goals over unified social and physical environments, though neighborhoods remain important for decentralized, community-focused planning.
Broadacre city
Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years.
Wrightt believed in designing in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture.
This philosophy was best exemplified by Fallingwater (1935), which has been called the best all-time work of American architecture. As a founder of organic architecture, Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing three generations of architects worldwide through his works.
There is a train station and a few office and apartment buildings in Broadacre City. All important transport is done by automobile, and the pedestrian can exist safely only within the confines of the one-acre (0.40-hectare) plots where most of the population dwells.
Theories and Concepts of town planning
The document summarizes several urban planning concepts from the 20th century, including the Garden City Concept, Neighborhood Unit Concept, and Sector Theory. The Garden City Concept proposed limiting city populations and incorporating green spaces. The Neighborhood Unit Concept centered schools and included parks, shops, and distinct internal/perimeter streets. Sector Theory described how distinct land use sectors near the city center would perpetuate as the city expanded in wedge-like fashion along major routes.
RADIAL CITY PLANNING
The document discusses the radial city planning patterns of Moscow and Washington DC. Moscow's plan features ring roads connected by radiating roads, with the core as the business area and industrial areas interspersed among residential zones. Washington DC was planned by Pierre L'Enfant and Andrew Ellicott along the Potomac River between Virginia and Maryland, and was burned in the War of 1812. Both cities exemplify radial city planning concepts.
Perception of Urban Space Shape of an Urban Form
This document provides an overview of key concepts for understanding urban morphology, including:
- Perception of urban space is determined by factors like urban form, massing, and scale. Massing influences how space is perceived, and scale relates to human vision and modes of movement.
- Shape of an urban form is defined by characteristics like size, density, pattern, grain, texture, voids, and routes. Districts, activity structures, orientation, vistas, skylines, and details further shape the urban environment.
- Learning objectives are to understand how to perceive urban environments through determinants of urban form like space, mass, and scale. Key aspects that influence the perception of urban space are discussed.
Urban Street Edge
One of the very important element of Urban Designing. Street edges play an important role in defining a city.

BROADACRE BY F.L. WRIGHT
Frank Lloyd Wright proposed Broadacre City, a decentralized urban concept, in the 1930s. It envisioned communities of single-family homes on one-acre plots connected by roads and public transport, with commercial areas integrated throughout. Wright believed this model would dissolve social failures by designing a better city structured around individual freedom and enabled by new technologies like cars. While never fully realized, aspects of Broadacre City can be seen in subsequent mid-20th century suburban development patterns in the United States.
Urban morphology, elements of urban design
This document provides an overview of urban design topics including urban morphology, elements of urban design, and the nature of urban design projects in public and private developments. It defines urban morphology as the study of the form and development of human settlements. It then discusses some key elements of urban design like buildings, public spaces, streets, transportation, and landscaping. Finally, it describes how urban design projects are carried out through public-private partnerships, with the private sector taking on financial and operational risks and the public sector providing funding or subsidies.
Types of urban design
The document discusses types of urban design as presented by Nguyen Dang Phuong Linh at Hanoi Architectural University in 2014. It focuses on Le Corbusier's master plan for Chandigarh, India, which was conceived as a "Garden City" with 30% of land allocated to parks. The plan included overall urban design with sectors and superblocks, all-of-a-piece design to capture unity and variety, infrastructure like roads designed for pedestrians and cyclists, and urban guidelines to accommodate future growth in a human-scaled way.
Patrick Geddes
Patrick Geddes was a Scottish biologist, sociologist, geographer, philanthropist and pioneering town planner known as the "Father of Modern Town Planning". He introduced concepts like the "region" in architecture and planning. Geddes believed that a region influences and is influenced by the cities within it, represented by his "Geddian Trio" of activity, work, and place. He coined the term "conurbation" to describe merged cities and regions influenced by new transportation technologies. Some of Geddes' plans included the master plan for Tel Aviv which emphasized pedestrians, greenery, and civic spaces. He also developed the "constellation theory" of regional planning around groupings of interconnected cities.
Determinants or Urban Form urban morphology
This document discusses urban morphology and the determinants of urban form. It begins by defining key terms like form, urban form, and urban morphology. It then describes the two main types of urban form - organic and grid oriented. The main determinants that shape urban form are described as natural (e.g. topography, climate) and man-made (e.g. political, religious, economic). Specific examples of each determinant are provided with images to illustrate how the determinant influenced the urban form. The document also includes a glossary defining terms commonly used in urban design like urban block, public realm, grain, and density.
Le corbusiers planning concepts
Le Corbusier was a pioneering modern architect and urban planner who helped establish the principles of the modernist movement. He advocated for high-density urban planning with towers set within open green spaces. Some of his influential urban plans included the Ville Contemporaine from 1922, which proposed a concentric city with central skyscrapers surrounded by parks, and Plan Voisin from 1925, which reimagined part of Paris with cruciform towers. Le Corbusier believed high density could reduce travel distances if incorporated with efficient transportation systems and abundant public green spaces.
Neighbourhood Planning
The document discusses the principles and concepts of neighborhood planning. It explains that neighborhood planning aims to create small residential units of 2,000-5,000 people to foster a sense of community. Key aspects of neighborhood planning include limiting the size to a walkable area, using boundary roads, incorporating green spaces, designing internal streets for safety, providing a mix of housing, locating shops and community centers in central areas, and including facilities like schools and parks within 1 km to encourage social life. The principles of neighborhood planning aim to balance residential development with community spaces and recreation to recreate the lost neighborhood relationships of modern cities.
GARDEN CITY(garden city concept)
GARDEN CITY(garden city concept), the perfect blend of city and nature.
the preservation of agricultural and rural life, nature and heritage conservation, recreation, pollution minimization, and growth management as well as the city endowed the tradition of urban planning with a social and community dimensions.
Patrick Geddes
Sir Patrick Geddes was a Scottish biologist, sociologist, geographer, philanthropist and pioneering town planner in the late 19th/early 20th century. He is known for his innovative thinking in fields like urban planning and sociology. Some of his key contributions include introducing the concepts of "region" and "conurbation" to architecture and planning. A conurbation refers to a region comprising cities and towns that have merged due to population growth and expansion. Geddes coined the term and provided examples like the Greater London area. He also developed theories around the relationships between a population ("folk") and their environment ("place") and means of work, which influenced his approach to regional and urban planning.
Lesson 2 town planning concepts
The document discusses various town planning concepts including Garden Cities, Linear Cities, Radburn Superblocks, Neighbourhood Units, Green Belts, Central Place Theory, Concentric Zone Theory, and Ribbon Development. It provides background information and key characteristics of each concept. For example, it explains that Garden Cities were designed by Ebenezer Howard to combine the benefits of town and country living, with populations of around 30,000 people and self-contained employment, industry, commerce and agriculture. It also discusses criticisms of some of the concepts.
Sir ebenezer howard
Sir Ebenezer Howard was a pioneer of town planning who developed the concept of the garden city. He was influenced by the overcrowding and poor conditions he witnessed in cities like London and Chicago. Howard proposed that towns and countryside each had benefits and drawbacks, but that a new type of settlement combining their advantages could be created. This was the garden city - a self-contained community surrounded by greenbelt land, with proportionate areas for housing, industry and agriculture. The first examples of garden cities were Letchworth and Welwyn, which aimed to provide the benefits of both urban and rural living.
Urban design
The document discusses urban design and its key principles and elements. It defines urban design as the process of designing and shaping cities, towns and villages, dealing with groups of buildings, streets, and public spaces at a larger scale than architecture. It outlines the differences between architecture, urban design, and urban planning in terms of scale, orientation, and time frames. The core elements of urban design discussed include buildings, public spaces, streets, transport, and landscape. Principles like character, continuity and enclosure, public realm, ease of movement, and diversity are also summarized.
Clarence perry
Clarence Perry was an early 20th century American planner who developed the concept of the neighborhood unit. The neighborhood unit aimed to design self-contained residential areas that promoted community and protected residents from industrial areas and traffic. Key elements included centering the neighborhood around an elementary school, placing arterial streets on the perimeter, and dedicating 10% of land to parks and open space. The ideal neighborhood unit size was 5,000-6,000 people and 160 acres to allow children to walk half a mile to school and residents to access local services. Neighborhood planning principles focused on size, boundaries, internal streets, land use mix, and locating community facilities to encourage social interaction.
Udpfistandards
The document provides guidelines for urban planning techniques and practices in India according to UDPFI (Urban Development Plans Formulation and Implementation) standards. It outlines the need for guidelines to promote orderly and efficient urban development. The urban planning system involves perspective plans, development plans, annual plans and project plans. Norms and standards are provided for land use distribution, infrastructure, commercial facilities, recreation, transportation, and population densities for different sizes of urban areas. Recommendations include increasing densities in metro areas and encouraging renewable energy and waste management techniques.

The death and life of great american cities
Jane Jacobs critiques modern urban planning practices in her influential book "The Death and Life of Great American Cities". She argues cities should focus on people, not traffic, and observes neighborhoods like Greenwich Village in New York to understand what makes some areas successful while others fail. Jacobs introduces new principles of urban planning by examining topics such as sidewalks, parks, and the importance of aged buildings and mixed uses to generate diversity within cities.
Garden city planning
The document discusses Ebenezer Howard's garden city concept, which aimed to address problems with both urban and rural living. The garden city model proposed self-contained communities of around 32,000 residents surrounded by greenbelt, with different zones including a central park. The concept emphasized strong communities, planned growth, and environmental quality. Howard published his ideas in 1898, and the garden city movement influenced planning around the world. Canberra, Australia is cited as one city that strongly embraced garden city principles in its design in the 1920s.
New Urbanism.pptx
New Urbanism is a planning movement that began in the 1980s as an alternative to post-war suburban sprawl. It aims to create more walkable and diverse neighborhoods with a mix of housing types and good connectivity through interconnected streets. The principles of New Urbanism emphasize traditional neighborhood structure with a discernible center and edges, mixed land uses within a 10-minute walk, and pedestrian-friendly design with buildings close to the street. If implemented well, New Urbanism seeks to raise quality of life through sustainable community design.

New Urbanism- Jane Jacobs
Jane Jacobs was an influential writer and activist in urban planning in the mid-20th century. She opposed the widespread replacement of urban communities with high-rise buildings and advocated for mixed-use neighborhoods with a focus on walkability. Along with Lewis Mumford, she is considered a founder of the New Urbanist movement. New Urbanism aims to reduce car dependence and create livable, walkable neighborhoods with a mix of housing, jobs, and commercial areas. Some examples of New Urbanist developments include Seaside, Florida, the first fully New Urbanist town, and Stapleton in Denver, Colorado. However, New Urbanism has also faced some criticisms around issues like lack of privacy and questions about how well it achieves

Urban planning aims to provide an organized spatial structure for activities and land uses. Ebenezer Howard proposed the "Garden City" concept with self-contained towns of 32,000 residents surrounded by greenbelts. Le Corbusier envisioned high-density "Radiant Cities" with segregated zones for housing, work, and recreation connected by transportation infrastructure. Both aimed to address issues of overcrowding and pollution in industrial cities by proposing new models for urban form and design.
SUSTAINABLE URBAN CANVAS- EXPERIMENTS WITH TRUTH
The phenomenon of urbanisation, especially suburbanisation, is observed monolithically worldwide, but in a rippling wave like vogue. It trickles down vertically and diffuses out horizontally from the developed to the developing areasand from central to the peripheral regions, respectively. No economically progressing country has ever been able to avert its occurrence, which is inevitable and challenging. The daunting task of intelligently designing and confirming sanity and sustainability for an urban canvas is a multidimensional and multi / cross disciplinary endeavour. This demands retrospective understanding of the place and its people; anticipatory sense to forecast and strategize; and awareness about the practices worldwide and indigenous. Civilizations have always been civilized because of their informed and active citizens, who have come forth to the rescue of theirlands of origin and fellow natives. Representation of this kind can be cited in the Garden City and City Beautiful movements of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, followed by many similar smaller and bigger experiments to the formal school of thought of urbanism, called “New Urbanism”.Many experiments happened under the wide umbrella of New Urbanism and garden city movement across the globe. From Great Britain, to the USA, Abu Dhabi and India, all have witnessed and / or are undergoing the sweeping dynamism in thought and action, for the pursuit of urban revamp and sustainability. This piece of research is an attempt towards compiling and evaluating such utopian models, taking cases from different countries, from different time periods, that have aimed at urban amelioration. The paper considers four cases of Masdar City (Abu Dhabi), Letchworth City (U.K), Disney Celebration Community (U.S.A.) and Magarpatta City (India) to showcase people’s experiments with truth for urban sustainability.
City planning theories post war
The document discusses several key theories and thinkers in post-war city planning, beginning with three main conceptions: 1) town planning as physical planning, 2) design as central to town planning, and 3) the production of "master" or "blueprint" plans. It then profiles several influential planners and their ideas, including Clarence Perry and the neighborhood unit, Lewis Mumford and the organic city, Kevin Lynch and the elements of urban form, Jane Jacobs and bottom-up community planning, Clarence Stein and the expansion of the neighborhood concept, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Broadacre City decentralized plan.

- Jane Jacobs was an influential urban theorist and activist known for her 1961 book "The Death and Life of Great American Cities". She challenged conventional urban planning practices through empirical observation.
- She advocated for mixed-use development and bottom-up community planning. She saw cities as complex ecosystems and argued diversity of uses and users were crucial to generate vibrant urban life.
- Jacobs argued high density was not inherently problematic and could support local economies if designed properly with mixed uses, short blocks, and old buildings to generate diverse street life.

New Urbanism 1.pdf
New Urbanism is an urban planning movement that promotes walkable, mixed-use communities as an alternative to separation of residential and commercial areas. It arose in the 1980s in response to auto-oriented development and aims to reduce reliance on cars by bringing housing, jobs, and services closer together. New Urbanist neighborhoods feature a range of housing types, interconnected streets, public spaces, and pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure to make communities more sustainable, healthy, and economically vibrant.

This document summarizes a journal article about analyzing creative city governance in Columbus, Ohio. It discusses how the rhetoric of the "creative city" emerged in Columbus starting in 2001 through documents focusing on economic development. Key actors involved in developing creative city governance include the Columbus Partnership, a business organization focused on economic development, and the Columbus Cultural Leadership Consortium, a coalition of major arts organizations. These groups are working to assess Columbus' potential as a creative city and promote the arts and culture as drivers of economic development.
Cultural Urbanism - Planning Mag April 2014 SCREEN RES
This document discusses the importance of cultural urbanism in city planning and design. It argues that understanding and celebrating local culture is critical to creating authentic places that appeal to local communities. The document examines examples like City Creek Center in Salt Lake City, which incorporated local cultural elements like a stream facsimile. It emphasizes that copying attributes from other places will not resonate long-term and that the best approach is to identify and enhance a place's unique regional characteristics and qualities of the local people and environment.

The document summarizes the origins and key concepts of the ecological city approach. It traces the origins of the idea back to 1975 in Berkeley, California, with the founding of the Urban Ecology organization. Major developments included Richard Register's 1987 book Eco-City Berkeley which introduced the concept, and the First International Eco-City Conference in 1990. The ecological city aims to achieve a balanced, sustainable city in harmony with nature by integrating social, economic, and environmental objectives. It acknowledges ecological limits and promotes diversity, community, and fulfilling human needs within those limits.
The Congress for the New Urbanism views disinvestment in centr.docx
The Congress for the New Urbanism views disinvestment in central cities, the
spread of placeless sprawl, increasing separation by race and income, environmental
deterioration, loss of agricultural lands and wilderness, and the erosion of society’s
built heritage as one interrelated community-building challenge.
We stand for the restoration of existing urban centers and towns within coherent
metropolitan regions, the reconfiguration of sprawling suburbs into communities of
real neighborhoods and diverse districts, the conservation of natural environments,
and the preservation of our built legacy.
We advocate the restructuring of public policy and development practices to
support the following principles: neighborhoods should be diverse in use and
population; communities should be designed for the pedestrian and transit as well
as the car; cities and towns should be shaped by physically defined and universally
accessible public spaces and community institutions; urban places should be framed
by architecture and landscape design that celebrate local history, climate, ecology,
and building practice.
We recognize that physical solutions by themselves will not solve social and economic
problems, but neither can economic vitality, community stability, and environmental
health be sustained without a coherent and supportive physical framework.
We represent a broad-based citizenry, composed of public and private sector
leaders, community activists, and multidisciplinary professionals. We are committed
to reestablishing the relationship between the art of building and the making
of community, through citizen-based participatory planning and design.
We dedicate ourselves to reclaiming our homes, blocks, streets, parks, neighborhoods,
districts, towns, cities, regions, and environment.

1) Metropolitan regions are finite places with
geographic boundaries derived from topography,
watersheds, coastlines, farmlands, regional parks,
and river basins. The metropolis is made of
multiple centers that are cities, towns, and villages,
each with its own identifiable center and edges.
2) The metropolitan region is a fundamental
economic unit of the contemporary world.
Governmental cooperation, public policy, physical
planning, and economic strategies must reflect
this new reality.
3) The metropolis has a necessary and fragile
relationship to its agrarian hinterland and natural
landscapes. The relationship is environmental,
economic, and cultural. Farmland and nature are
as important to the metropolis as the garden is
to the house.
4) Development patterns should not blur or
eradicate the edges of the metropolis. Infill
development within existing urban areas
conserves environmental resources, economic
investment, and social fabric, while reclaiming
marginal and abandoned areas. Metropolitan
regions should develop strategies to encourage
such infill development over peripheral expans.
Urban planning theories
Urban planning theories have evolved over time in response to changes in populations, economies, and technologies. Early theories focused on orderly city layouts with separate zones. Hippodamus proposed dividing cities into public and private areas with grids. Howard's Garden Cities aimed to blend urban and rural advantages. Geddes emphasized relationships between people and environments. Later, modernist planners like Le Corbusier proposed high-density "Radiant Cities." Burgess' concentric zone model depicted socio-economic groups arranged in circles. Perry's neighborhood unit promoted walkable communities. Today, multiple nuclei and sector theories recognize dispersed growth around transportation networks.
LONG LIVE THE DAY OF THE ARCHITECT AND URBANIST IN BRAZIL, ONE OF THE GREAT R...
Today, December 15th, the Day of the Architect and Urban Planner of Brazil is celebrated, which is also the birthday of one of the most renowned architects and urban planners in the world, the Brazilian Oscar Niemeyer. On this date, I pay my respects to all the architects and urban planners in Brazil who contributed with their intelligence and creativity in the realization of great works for the benefit of Brazilian society, especially to the architects and urban planners Claudia Alcoforado (my daughter), Esperança Leria (mother of my granddaughter Sofia), Ernesto Carvalho (my nephew), Karla Andrade, Loris Brantes, Marcos Lopes, Paulo Ormindo de Azevedo, Eduardo Henrique Teixeira, Guivaldo D´Alexandria Baptista, Javier Alfaya and also to my late brother architect and urban planner Luiz Carlos Alcoforado. Architects and urban planners deserve our tributes because they have distinguished themselves from antiquity to the contemporary era, not only in the elaboration of building projects, many of which are true works of art, but also in urban planning whose objective is to improve the quality of life of cities through political, environmental and social actions, among others. Architecture and Urbanism has been responsible, since antiquity, for creating public and private spaces capable of uniting, at the same time, functionality, aesthetics and comfort. Nowadays, Architecture can be defined as the relationship between man and space, or rather, the way it interferes with the environment, creating favorable aesthetic and functional conditions for housing, use and organization of space. The exercise of planning cities comes from much older civilizations. The objective of urban planning is to respond to the problems faced by the gathering of many people in cities, which became more complex after the 1st Industrial Revolution in the 18th century in England. From the beginning of the 20th century to the contemporary era, there has been an accelerated urban growth that has led to serious problems that negatively affect the quality of life of people who live, mainly, in big cities. Architects and urban planners have worked closely with engineers, economists, sociologists and other professionals in planning and implementing solutions to urban problems.

A Survey of Techniques for Maximizing LLM Performance
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Peter calthorpe
- 1. PETER CALTHORPE • Peter Calthorpe (born 1949) is a San Francisco- based architect, urban designer and urban planner. He is a founding member of the Congress for New Urbanism a Chicago-based advocacy group formed in 1992 that promotes sustainable building practices.
- 2. BIOGRAPHY • Calthorpe was born in London and raised in Palo Alto. He attended the Yale School of Architecture. • He has taught at U.C. Berkeley, the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, and the University of North Carolina. • In 1989, he proposed the concept of "Pedestrian Pocket" an up to 110 acres (45 ha) pedestrian friendly, transit linked, mixed-use urban area with a park at its centre. The Pedestrian Pocket mixes low-rise high- density housing, commercial and retail uses. The concept had a number of similarities with Ebenezer Howard's Garden City and aimed to be an alternative to the then usual low-density residential suburban developments.
- 3. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY Cities and suburbs across the globe are facing a crisis of livability, traffic and cost; a crisis with profound economic, environmental, and social dimensions. The solutions involve new land use patterns that connect now isolated enclaves into mixed-use communities. Calthorpe Associates is a leader in the field of planning for such mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented places -- places that are human scale, affordable, and diverse; that re-integrate home and work; transit and auto use; civic identity and commercial activity; human needs and ecological limits. Newsweek Magazine claims our concepts for cities, towns, and suburbs have defined a new direction in planning and growth for the nation. Grounded in a history of pioneering work in Sustainable Communities, New Urbanism, Transit Oriented Development, and Regional Planning, Calthorpe Associates is now internationally recognized as a leader in urban design, community planning, and regional growth strategies. Since 1983 the firm has assisted private and public clients in shaping progressive forms of growth and redevelopment – forms that help reestablish a sense of place, scale, history and environmental balance within the built environment.
