Radburn City Planning was an early planned community developed in Fair Lawn, New Jersey in 1929. It was designed by Clarence Stein and Henry Wright and aimed to separate pedestrian and vehicular traffic through the use of cul-de-sacs and green spaces. Some key features included a hierarchical road system, superblocks with houses facing interior parks rather than roads, and an emphasis on pedestrian accessibility and open spaces. However, the community faced some challenges and was only partially built before the Great Depression, with residents preferring more private land over common areas.

Radburn City
Radburn was developed in 1929 in New Jersey as one of America's first planned garden communities. It was designed by Clarence Stein and Henry Wright based on principles separating pedestrian and vehicular traffic through the use of cul-de-sacs and footpaths. The development included single family homes, row houses, apartments, and a central shopping center organized around extensive common green spaces within superblocks. While innovative at the time, some aspects of Radburn's design did not work as intended in practice and it faced financial difficulties, though its approach to integrating land uses and prioritizing pedestrian access influenced later suburban development.
Town planning radburn concept
Radburn was a planned community developed in 1929 based on principles of separating pedestrian and vehicle traffic. It had 25,000 residents within 149 acres containing single family homes, row houses, and apartments arranged around a network of cul-de-sacs and footpaths connecting to interior parks and community spaces. The development pioneered concepts like the superblock and was an early example of integrating residential, commercial, and industrial areas with open spaces.
Radburn city, vikas rathore
Radburn is a planned community located in New Jersey that was developed in the 1920s based on principles of separating pedestrian and vehicular traffic. It utilized superblocks with interior parks and a network of pedestrian paths to allow residents to access all community amenities without crossing streets. The community was designed with turned-around houses facing the pedestrian network and included single-family homes, row houses, apartments, parks, and a shopping center. While innovative at the time, some of Radburn's designs did not work as intended, such as underutilized front green spaces. However, Radburn demonstrated early principles of planning that focused on open space and community design, influencing later suburban development.
Le corbusier
Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, known as Le Corbusier, was a pioneering modern architect and urban planner. He developed several influential urban planning concepts including the Radiant City, Plan Voisin for Paris, and the Linear City. Le Corbusier went on to design the city of Chandigarh in India according to principles of modern architecture and urban planning, dividing it into sectors with ample green space and separating types of traffic. His master plan for Chandigarh included the Capitol Complex, City Centre, and other zones organized according to his theories.
Radburn
Radburn was a planned community developed in 1929 in New Jersey as a response to rapid urbanization. It included single family homes, row houses, apartments and amenities across 149 acres. Key features included separating pedestrian and vehicle networks using cul-de-sacs and footpaths, orienting homes around common green spaces rather than facing streets, and organizing commercial areas at block intersections. While innovative at the time, some elements like underused front green spaces and preferences for more private yards led to some failures in implementation. Overall though, Radburn demonstrated an early model for planned communities that influenced later suburban developments.

The document provides details about the planning and development of Chandigarh, the new capital city of Punjab in India.
[1] The first master plan for Chandigarh was created by American planner Albert Mayer in the early 1950s. [2] When Le Corbusier was brought on to redesign the master plan, he retained the basic framework conceived by Mayer but replaced the neighborhood units with sectors. [3] Key features of Chandigarh designed by Le Corbusier include the open hand layout of the Capitol Complex, strict controls on housing and industry, and the use of parks and open spaces throughout the city.
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.
Neighborhood planning case study
The document discusses the concepts and principles of neighborhood planning. It describes Clarence Perry's neighborhood unit model from the early 1900s which centered schools in neighborhoods and used arterial streets to define boundaries while prioritizing walkability. The purpose of neighborhood planning is to enable social interaction, share amenities, and ensure safety. Principles include limiting neighborhood size, using major roads as boundaries, internal street hierarchies, and dedicating 10% of land to open space. Southern Village in Chapel Hill, NC is provided as an example, being a 312-acre mixed-use development with housing, retail, offices, and civic spaces organized around a central green.

Frank lloyd wright
Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect known for his organic architecture and philosophy of designing structures in harmony with humanity and nature. He was interested in urban planning throughout his career. His most ambitious plan was Broadacre City, proposed in the 1930s, which envisioned decentralized, automobile-oriented communities where each American family would be given one acre of land. Broadacre City was meant to be the antithesis of dense cities and exemplify Wright's vision of suburban living, but it remained primarily a theoretical concept that highlighted some realities of future urban sprawl and independent living. While never fully realized, Broadacre City reflected Wright's belief that technological changes would make large cities obsolete.
Tactical Urbanism - examples from India
Early experiments started in 2014 with Traffic Police as they are engaged in the management of traffic of the city. Through better design, signal timing could be reduced, pedestrian safety could be increased and public space could be created. With help of chalk, paint and bollards, these experiments have been transformative. CGM team helped create more of such quick turnaround projects in 6 cities. Here is a compilation of the main ones.

Chandigarh city case study
Chandigarh City is one of the most significant urban planning experiments of the 20th century, and the only one of Le Corbusier's planning schemes to be fully realized. It was designed to be the capital of Punjab after its division, with Le Corbusier's master plan dividing the city into sectors focused around circulation, living, working, leisure, and governance. Key features include the Capitol Complex administrative center, City Centre commercial hub, and a network of roads classified by function. Landscaping and architectural aesthetics were an important part of Le Corbusier's vision for the planned city.
Chandigarh city planning by Le Corbusier
Le Corbusier was commissioned to design the new capital city of Chandigarh after the previous designers withdrew from the project. He retained the basic fan-shaped layout but converted it to a grid pattern with sectors. His design compressed the area while increasing density and respecting garden city principles. Chandigarh's plan was conceived as analogous to the human body, with defined areas serving as the head, heart, lungs, and other organs connected by a road network. Key features included sectors, a central business district, cultural/educational institutions, and open green spaces.
Theory of Settlement : Navi Mumbai
Navi Mumbai was created in 1970 to decongest Mumbai and promote balanced regional development. It was planned by CIDCO according to principles of decentralization, self-sufficient townships, and single use zoning. Navi Mumbai consists of several nodes planned for different income groups with residential neighborhoods, industrial zones, and conservation areas. While growth has been slow, it accelerated in the 1990s with the Nhava Sheva port. Today Navi Mumbai stands as a structured, planned city contrasting with Mumbai's organic development.
CITY PLANNING OF AHMEDABAD
The document provides a history of the city of Ahmedabad from its founding in the 13th century to present day. It began as a city called Karnavati on the banks of the Sabarmati River under Solanki dynasty rule. In the 14th-15th century under Sultanate rule, it was renamed Ahmedabad and established as the capital of Gujarat. The city grew as an important trade, textile and cultural center under Mughal rule in the 16th-17th century. After a period of decline in the 18th century under Maratha rule, the city saw rapid growth under British rule in the 19th century as an important trade center connected by new railways. After independence
CHANDIGARH - the city beautiful
Chandigarh is a planned city in India that serves as the capital of Punjab and Haryana. It was designed by Le Corbusier in the 1950s as a modernist experiment in urban planning. Some key points:
- Le Corbusier divided the city into sectors separated by roads in a grid pattern. Each sector was designed to be self-sufficient with amenities like schools and shops.
- The city has distinct zones for living, working, recreation and government functions. Major landmarks include the Capitol Complex, City Center and Leisure Valley park.
- Sustainable design principles were used like solar orientation of buildings, hierarchy of green spaces and separation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. However
Neighbourhood Concept
The document discusses the concept of the neighborhood unit plan proposed by Clarence Perry in the 1920s. The key aspects of Perry's plan included:
1) Neighborhoods of a fixed size to support one elementary school
2) Boundaries defined by arterial streets to discourage through traffic
3) Open spaces like parks and playgrounds making up 10% of the area
4) Community facilities like schools and shops located near the center
5) An internal street network to facilitate circulation within the neighborhood

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.
History & Theory of Planning: The City Beautiful
The document discusses the City Beautiful movement which emerged in the late 19th century. It aimed to beautify American cities through neoclassical civic design including grand boulevards, public buildings, and parks. Key examples discussed are the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago which popularized the City Beautiful ideal, and Kansas City's implementation of this approach through a comprehensive park and boulevard system designed by George Kessler. The 1909 Plan of Chicago by Daniel Burnham and Edward Bennett also sought to beautify the city through similar civic improvements and create a more functional transportation network. However, critics argued that City Beautiful planning focused too much on aesthetics and wealthy areas, neglecting social and housing issues.
Navi mumbai
Navi Mumbai is a planned city located across Mumbai Harbour and was conceived to ease population density and infrastructure issues in Mumbai. It consists of 12 nodal townships planned along transit corridors to promote decentralization. The nodal approach and emphasis on public transport has made Navi Mumbai polycentric in nature. Key aspects of its planning included creating living spaces, establishing mass transit systems, and following principles of decentralization and single-use zoning.

Planning & Urban Design Principles for Non-Planners
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.

Both case studies incorporated features like rear vehicle access, pedestrian lanes, mixed uses, and connectivity between areas to promote walkability and sustainable transportation.
Garden city theory by vaibhav patel
Ebenezer Howard proposed the garden city theory as a response to overcrowding and congestion in cities during the Industrial Revolution. His plan called for the creation of small, planned cities that combined urban amenities with access to nature. Key elements included purchasing a large area of land, planning a compact circular or hexagonal town surrounded by a rural greenbelt, and using revenue from rising land values to benefit the community. Howard envisioned a population of around 30,000 living in the garden city, with only a fraction of the land developed and the rest used for agriculture and recreation.

The document discusses the benefits of smarter growth and development patterns that concentrate new growth in existing communities rather than allowing sprawl. If current trends continue, 800,000 new acres of land would be developed by 2030, much in rural areas. However, better land use, community design and transportation can help address issues like energy use and climate change. Examples are given of areas like Tysons Corner that were retrofitted into more walkable, mixed-use communities with transportation options beyond cars. The vision is to apply these principles more broadly to benefit both the environment and quality of life.
The New Urbanism: Design Principles for Vibrant Communities
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.

The document summarizes the processes of change over time in the development of the City of Boulder, Colorado. It began with an initial grid street pattern based on the streetcar network in the late 19th century. This was followed by suburban development in the postwar era characterized by curvilinear streets and large lots. Modern development has focused on infill projects within the existing urban footprint.

The Aranya Housing project in Indore, India was designed to provide affordable housing for 60,000 low-income residents. The project site covers 85 hectares and includes over 6,500 dwellings organized into six sectors. The master plan incorporates a hierarchy of open spaces and pedestrian pathways to connect housing clusters. Most housing units are small and clustered to reduce costs while optimizing cross ventilation and access to light.

Elements of design through a subject
The document discusses various design principles that are important for chair design, including axis, symmetry, balance, repetition, rhythm, variety, monotony, contrast, harmony, and hierarchy. It provides examples of how each principle is applied in chair design, such as how chairs are often symmetrically designed to support the human body and how arranging chairs with repetition and rhythm can create order and visual interest in a space.
Marine ecosystem
The document summarizes several marine ecosystems. It describes how oceans cover 70% of the Earth's surface and include shorelines like tidal flats and mangrove forests. Specific ecosystems are found around the world, depending on climate and geography. These include coral reefs, estuaries, salt marshes, mangrove forests, and the deep sea. Salt marshes are coastal wetlands flooded by tides that are dominated by salt-tolerant grasses. The intertidal zone is the shore area above and below the water line during tides, containing habitats for starfish and coral. Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees adapted to harsh coastal conditions.

Consistency of linear equations in two and three variables
This document discusses solving systems of linear equations with two or three variables. It explains that a system can have one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution. For two variables, the solutions are where lines intersect (one solution), coincide (infinitely many), or are parallel (no solution). For three variables, the solutions are where planes intersect (one point), lie on a line (infinitely many), or do not intersect (no solution). It demonstrates solving systems using substitution, elimination, and matrix methods, and discusses cases where a system has infinitely many or no solutions.
