ENBE | FINAL PROJECT | PART A REPORT | THE BETTER CITY OF THE FUTURE
Introduction
As the one of our subject, Elements of Natural Built Enviroment (ENBE) in Foundation
in Natural Built Enviroment (FNBE), we were required to propuse a plan or a future city -
The “X-City”. The student were structered in groups and discuss on which enviroment
that they would want ther cities to be such as Floating In the Air, Water, Underground,
Underwater or any combination of any of the two elements and thus clarify why.
Furthermore, I have done through exploration upon the term “city” itself to comprehend
the aim of this project well enough to propuse a perfect city for my people. Then, I
looked up references from the Internet on sustainabilty, liveable city, renewable
resources, urban planning to know more detil on how to enhance the lifestyle of the
people and the sae time advance the city’s sustainable living infrastructure,
transportations and enviroment.
Through this assigment, it exposed me a lot on how the cities should focuses on
 The needs of people
 Zoning & structure of the city
 Implementation of sustainabilty & walkability
 The Facilities & infrastructres
 Uses of renewable resources
 Transportaion linkages

What is a City
Urban Definition
The city is a part of our lives and our language: we might sat. “ I live in a city” or “I live
near a city” or “ Im moving to a city”. We know what we mean when we make these
statements because we have certain ideas about the city. A large town with bright lights,
tall buildings and traffic jams.
What makes a city a City?
Cities have been called the highest forms of social organization. Think of the complexity
of road systems, transportation, building laws, markeys, food distribution, educatioal
systems, etc., and you get an idea of what is meant by that statement. But that complexity
didn’t spring up over night. It is the result of long years of human development.
What makes a city a City?
Cities have been called the highest forms of socail organazition. Think the complexity of
road systems, traspotation, building laws, business centre, sport events, food distribution,
educational systems, sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing and etc,. But the complexity
didnt spring up over nigh. It is the result of long years of human development. A city is a
relatively large and permanent human settlement. Cities generaly have complex system
for

 Sanitation
 Utilities
 Land Usage
 Housing
 Transportation
The concentration of development greatly interaction between people and business,
benefiting both parties in the process. A big city or metropolis usually has associated
suburbs and exurbs. Such cities are usually associated with metropolitan areas and urban
areas, creating numerous business commuters traveling to urban centers fir employment.
Once a city expands far enough to reach another city, this region can bedeemed a
curbation of megalopolis.

What makes a Better City?
A good city is the capital that is able to SUSTAIN itself thus creating a great stability
between the city and its people, thus ensuring a brighter prospect for the future
generations to come.
 Improved energy efficiency
 Renewable-energy technology
 Embrace smart technology
 Modernized sewage system and supply/ sanitation system
 A solid and growing economy
 Fast and safe low-emission public transportation network system
 Tackle traffic congestion and pollution problems
 Strong tax base
 Great education system
 Powerful and organized police and army force protection
 Affordable housing
 A built in art and culture environment
 Affordable medical, social services, sanitation and fire protection.

What is a Future City?
Its hard to make a statement of what is a future city and what makes it futuristoc as
everyone has their own minds and opinions. As for me, a future city consists of
everything mentioned preciously above ( What Makes a Good City). I’ve learnt that
future cities don’t really need to have flying cars swooping around skyscrapers, or
everything is designed all white, shiny and curvy. Everything goes back to square one, a
future city is a sustainable city, and the changes have already begun.

What is a pamphlet?
A pamphlet is an unbound booklet. It may consist of a single sheet of paper that is
printed on both sides and folded in half, in thirds, or in quarters
It consist of information or arguments about a single subject.

INVESTIGATION AND DATA COLLECTION
Ancient City
Shibam,
Yemen
Introduction to Shibam
Shibam is a town located in Yemen with about 7000 citizen and it’s famous for its mud
brick-made tower houses. It is known as the Manhattan of the desert, this timeless town
raises high on the southern tip of Arabian Peninsula with ancient structures which cohere
with the landscape. The town originally backs up to a cliff in a fertile oasis in the heart of
he Ramlat al-Sab’atayn desert in central Yemen, a flood-prone area which washed away
much of the old Shibam in 1530s. So Shibam’s inhabitants reconstructed the city on a
raised pleteau, the only area within the oasis at an elevation on high enough to stave off
another potentially catastrophic flood. The population began to grow and demand for
space, where they have no reak viable option to expand, so the architecrs built up.
Each major building is about the height form 5 to 11 stories, with each floor having
one or two apartments, placing each in a unique position. Like the fortified wall that
surrounds this fortress city, this building technique was implemented in order to protect

the people from Bedouin attacks. The incredibly tall houses and buildings, combined with
their awkward positioning on the side of the cliff, earned Shibam, as a town, earned the
title of the oldest skyscraper in the world.
To protect the buildings from rain and erosion, the exterior walls are thickly coated and
must be contsantly maintained. The domestic architecture of Shibam including its visual
impact rising out of the floodplain of te wadi, funtional design, materials and construction
techniques is an outstanding but extremely vulnerable expression of Ara and Muslim
traditional culture. After the second great flood a system of dams was built to deflect
future flood waters. The lowest was the Muza’ dam, which has been continually repaired
ever sice, so that no major damage has ben done by flood waters in the 16th
century. The
wallad city is believed to have essentially retained its form since that time.
Significant elemets of Shibam

Shibam is one of the oldest and the best example of town planning based on the
principle of vertical construction
 Its plan is trapezoidal, almost rectangular.
 It is enclosed by earthen walls within a block of dwellings wih was
laid out on an orthogonal grid
 Sorrounded by a fortified wall to protect the citizens from rival
attack
 Well organised usage for each floor, such as the windowless lowe
floors is used for grain storage.
 High building was built to protect them form natural disaster
 The top one or two levels of all the buildings are protected form
rain by while lime plaster.

 Continuous surface over all the roofs, parapets and outer walls,
extending downwards in some cases about 5m form the top which
makes the town look neat.
Present City

Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is the federal capital and most populous city in Malaysia.The city covers
an area of 243 km2
(94 sq mi) and has an estimated population of 1.6 million as of
2010.Greater Kuala Lumpur, also known as the Klang Valley, is an urban agglomeration
of 6.9 million as of 2010.It is among the fastest growing metropolitan regions in the
country, in terms of population and economy.
The capital city of Malaysia acts as the centre of the parliament activity and also for
business purposes. Kuala Lumpur also hold for all sorts of entertainment. The layout of
the city considered unorganized compare to other major cities around he world because
Kuala Lumpur is constructed during the world war II era when british invade Malaysia.
The result of the war cause the construction of the city to be out of place for the most part
of capital.
Kuala Lumpur is the seat of the Parliament of Malaysia. The city was once home to the
executive and judicial branches of the federal government, but they were moved
to Putrajaya in early 1999.

Putrajaya an "Intelligent Garden City" and the federal administrative capital of Malaysia,
is a showcase city under construction some 30 km south of the capital Kuala Lumpur.
Her adjacent sister city, Cyberjaya, is built along the same lines, but is aimed at attracting
the IT industry. The area was formerly known as Prang Besar.
Putrajaya covers a vast sprawl of 4,931 hectares, which were mostly palm plantations
before the federal government purchased the lot from the surrounding state of Selangor.
The city's masterplan is designed along an axial tangent which runs from the northeast to
southeast, with gently undulating terrain. About 40% of Putrajaya is natural, but the
landscape has been extensively reworked by man: lush greenery and botanical gardens
are spread across the landscape, crisscrossed by large bodies of water and wetlands. Five
confluences meet at the north forming a main waterway, the Putrajaya Lake, which flows
across the city area.

Commercial, autho riative and residential areas have been divided into precincts that
blend into each other cohesively. The set back of this city is the transportation and the
only railway it has the transit to KLIA

Future City
Copenhagen
It os a city surrounde by water, with many parks and green spaces. An integrated public
transport network and the bycile paths that line most streets make it as possible for
residents to choose enviromenatally friendly ways to get around. And in 2008, transport
experts named the city’s train system as “The best metro in the world”.
The most populr way to get around Copenhagen is by bycicle. Copenhagen has around
400 kiometre of designated cycle tracks and more than a third of Copenhageners
commute by bike every day.
Copenhagen has an extended bus network as wll a local treain network, he “S-train:, with

84 statios throughout Copenhagen and its suburbs. Around 360,000 people use the S-train
everyday.

The Danish capital is known as one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world, with
bicycles actually outnumbering its inhabitants.[266][267]
In 2012 some 36% of all working or
studying city-dwellers cycled to work, school, or university. With 1.27 million km
covered every working day byCopenhagen's cyclists (including both residents and
commuters), and 75% of Copenhageners cycling throughout the year.[268]
The city's
bicycle paths are extensive and well used, boasting 400 km of cycle lanes not shared with
cars or pedestrians, and sometimes have their own signal systems - giving the cyclists a
lead of a couple of seconds to accelerate
