This document discusses key aspects of cities and urban settlements. It begins by noting that while definitions of cities vary, some common characteristics are a large population, tall buildings close together, and economic activities focused on secondary and tertiary sectors like industry and services. Rural settlements, in contrast, have lower populations and focus on primary sectors like agriculture. The document then examines common functions of cities like residential, commercial, industrial, and political uses. It also explores urban morphology and the different patterns cities can take, like grids, radial plans, and irregular forms. Finally, the internal structure of cities is discussed, differentiating city centers, peri-urban areas on the outskirts, and further outskirts where newer development is located.
Mehmet Akif Sag on "The importance of the city region approach for the governance of metropolitan areas: the case study of Antalya (Turkey) city region"
These days Russia is a difficult market, but it still is a market and - in terms of population size - it is by far and large the biggest market in Europe.
Over the last 2 years MLA+ has been conducting market research in Russia to identify opportunities and potential places for Dutch urban and architectural design expertise to excel. The focus of the research did lie on places with potential outside Moscow and St. Petersburg Regions. Combining hard data, soft data and expert opinions, 12 cities have been shortlisted as potential markets. To increase usability, the report not only introduces these places and but also identifies projects in the making and projects and challenges these cities are facing in the coming years and that with a high likelihood will require design expertise.
The result of the work that was conducted with the support of the Dutch Creative Industries Fund has been published in a 400 page report .

1. Definition of urbanization (size, density, proportion of popul.docxSONU61709
1. Definition of urbanization: (size, density, proportion of population compared to rural and surrounding rural areas)
1. Proportion of the total population concentrated in urban settlements, or else to a rise in this proportion. A common mistake is to think of urbanization as simply the growth of cities. total population comprises of both urban and rural and therefore, proportion urban is function of both. If both city and rural grows at equal rate, there is no urbanization.
2. Global Cities: (Density, culture, and mobility: Tokyo,Seoul,Mexico City, London,etc.)
3. Factors Affecting Urbanization: (push and pull)
4. Consequences of Urbanization: (both positive and negative)
5. Lynch's Mental Map-Images of city: (Path,District,Edge, Landmark,and Node)
6. Graphic Presentation: (Urbanization, Suburbanization, Edge City, Natural Growth)
6. Remember: when drawing graphs, you must remember the following---city center, edge of city, population density, distance from city center, two time periods, point where two graphs cross.
7. Historical Look at City Growth Theory: Commercial, Industrial, Corporate, and Global Cities (Accumulation)
7. Commercial (1850s and beyond):
1. Merchants accumulated their wealth through commodity exchanges
2. Political connections were important. Cities like London were dominant in activities
3. Cities were heterogeneous, mixing class of people in the city.
4. Workplace and residence were connected. Socioeocnomic segregation did not increase in this period.
5. City life was easy communality. However, uneven income distribution between buyers and sellers, thus creating popular protests.
7. Industrial (late 19th century):
1. Factories relied heavily on homogenous production and labor, and also on available workers.
1. Good example would be early textile mills along the rivers of New England (Lowell, Lawrence, Waltham, and Lynn).
1. These cities relied on worker pools, rail and water access for transportation, easy access to consumer markets, and innovation techniques. Spatial characteristics--- huge factories in downtown area, newly created segregated residential development (workers near factories, industrialists away from downtown), middle and upper class moved to outside of city center, growth of shopping districts in downtown area for convenience shopping.
1. City life became intense and little choice for workers.
7. Corporate (early 20th century and present):
2. Corporations began searching for stability and security from the experiences of industrial city experience.
2. Decentralization of manufacturing (snowbelt and sunbelt, south, southwest, non-union states, low wages, cheap land), creation of downtown central business districts, suburban growth, and no visible downtown for many corporate cities.
2. No centers anywhere, diffuse economic activities everywhere.
2. Clear division among socioeconomic class, commuting became diffused (not one way, but several different ways).
2. Citis like Phoenix, San Diego, Houston, Dal ...

2. 1.1. THE CONCEPT OF A CITY
Definitions of what a city is vary around the world.
There is no single factor that explains whether a
place is a city or not (number inhabitants, functions…)
However, it is possible to tell if we are living in a
rural or urban settlements by looking at a number
of aspects.
3. Village (pueblo): small town
Hamlet (aldea): small village
Lower number of
inhabitants and a low
concentration of people.
Its structure: low buildings.
Economic activities: primary
sector (to obtained natural
resources): agriculture and
livestock farming.
The way of life of its
inhabitants is characterized
by close and family-
orientated social behavior,
with a strong sense of
belonging to a community.
4. Large number of
inhabitants.
Structure: tall buildings
that are very close
together.
Main economic activities
of cities are related to
secondary (transform raw
materials) and services
sector (commerce,
education, banking…).
The way of life is
characterized by less
intense relationships.
Town: small city
City: large town
5. Therefore, the most important elements that define a
place as a city are:
Number of inhabitants. There is no universal
number (Japan settlements with more tan 50.000 are
cities; in Netherlands the figure is 20.000) but in Spain
all urban areas with more than 10.000 people are
classified as cities.
Main economic activities. Cities are identified by
secondary (industry) and tertiary sector (commerce, health,
education…).
Concentration of buildings (tall buildings) and many
activities and functions (residential, commercial, political…).
Less intense relationship. Cities and urban areas are identified
with a way of life that is fast, intense, cosmopolitan, tolerant…
6. RURAL SETTLEMENT URBAN SETTLEMENT
Low number of inhabitants
…
EXTRA ACTIVITY: Copy and complete the following table in
your notebook according to the main characteristics of the two
types of settlements.
7. o Many activities, known as functions, take place in urban areas. Cities
are, in general, multifunctional spaces and many of these activities
are interrelated.
o The main functions of the city are:
Residential.
Commercial.
Industrial.
Tourist.
Political and administrative.
Cultural and religious.
8. Residential. Is common to all cities.
◦ It is the predominant function in some urban
settlement, such as satellite cities or dormitory towns:
These are urban settlement on the periphery of major
cities, inhabited by people who travel to work in the city
every day.
Dormitory towns rely on transport networks that
communicate them with a major city.
Commercial.
◦ Commercial cities are also centers of exchange for all
types of products and services.
◦ Transports networks (land, air and sea) and the flow
of money from banks and multinational companies
converge in these cities.
◦ Example: the city of Shanghai (China), whose port is
the most important one in the world.
9. Industrial.
◦ This function is helped by the availability of
labour and the communication network.
Nowadays, the industrial areas are being moved
to industrial estates on the outskirts of the city.
Tourist. This function is related:
◦ To a rich historical or artistic heritage (Rome or Athens).
◦ To natural attractions (Cancun).
◦ To leisure (Las Vegas or Monaco).
10. Political and administrative. This function exists
in cities where political power is concentrated.
◦ Some cities are home to the headquarters (sede central)
of the main political bodies (Madrid, Brussels…).
◦ They are usually the state capitals, carrying out
administrative functions that affect the entire country.
Cultural and religious (tourist).
◦ This function takes place in most cities, as they have
museums (Venice…), universities (Salamanca,
Oxford…) or are religious pilgrimage cities, such as
Rome, Mecca and Jerusalem.
11. 1.3. THE MORPHOLOGY OF CITIES
The morphology of a city refers to the factors that influence
its external form. The distribution of urban elements, such as
streets, buildings and green spaces, generates an urban plan,
which is the graphical representation of the structure of a
city. We can distingue different types of urban plans:
Grid, Linear, Radial, Irregular
GRID (also known as chequerboard or
orthogonal plan): in this type of urban
planning, the streets intersect at right
angles and the space is divided into
blocks. For example: New York, Madrid
(barrio de Salamanca) Turin, Lima,
Montevideo and Barcelona.
12. Linear: the city is organised according
to a main road, and the buildings and
public spaces are distributed around it.
For example, Castrillo de los
Polvazares (León) or Burgo de Ranero.
Radial: in a radial plan, we can
distinguish the central core form which
several roads branch out. These roads
are intersected by others streets that
form concentric rings. For example,
Palmanova (Italy) or Camberra.
Irregular: this type of plan is caused by
a lack of planning. It is characteristic
by a very complex and disorderly
network of streets. For example,
Venecia or Toledo.
13. 1.4. URBAN STRUCTURE
It refers to the internal organization of space in a city.
We can differentiate:
The city centre: the main business, financial and
commercial areas are found.
◦ In older cities, it usually coincides with the old town, where
most of the historic monuments are located.
◦ The residential function is also important.
14. Peri-urban areas: areas around the centre.
◦ It is mainly characterised by its residential
function. In many cities, this area has many
streets, parks and squares.
Outskirts (afueras): is the outer area of the
city.
◦ It emerged more recently as a result of the city´s
expansion. The majority of the population lives
on the outskirts.
◦ Industrial areas and commercial areas have also
appeared over recent years.
