Historical periods and growth of human settlementsVijesh Kumar V
The document discusses the evolution of human settlements through different historical periods including ancient, medieval, Renaissance, industrial, and post-industrial ages. It focuses on the Renaissance period, noting that Renaissance urban design was mainly focused on aesthetics as perceived by users of public spaces. Key design features of Renaissance cities included regular geometric layouts, primary streets, and public squares/piazzas designed for their aesthetic and artistic qualities rather than natural community expression. Renaissance urban planning treated the entire city as an artistic whole.

Lucio Costa was a Brazilian modernist architect best known for designing the urban plan of Brasilia, Brazil's new capital city. His plan stipulated zones for residential, commercial, and industrial areas, and limited building heights. It featured a cross-shaped design with a central monumental axis and residential axis to separate traffic. The plan included superblocks with uniform six-story buildings and vast green spaces, creating a park-like city on different scales from monumental to residential. Brasilia became a model for planned urban development when it was completed in 1960.

This document identifies a site in Matara, Sri Lanka for urban regeneration. The site consists of a shopping complex owned by the Matara Municipal Council with 129 shops, but only 28 are currently functioning. It also includes the Star Fort, which has lost its original context, and a general hospital. These three separate functions currently disturb and fail each other, leading to an overall failure of the site area. Urban decline in the area is evidenced by out migration, a drop in economic activities and land values, and increased unemployment and social unrest. The document performs an analysis of the context and current issues of the site to determine why regeneration is needed.
Importance of evolution of human settlementsVijesh Kumar V
The document discusses the evolution of human settlements and civilizations. It begins by explaining the importance of studying the evolution of human settlements and outlines some key topics that will be covered, including the origin of civilization, effects on settlements, determinants of settlements, and ancient towns in India. It then provides details on the origins and developments of early civilizations, including discussions on hunter-gatherer societies, the Neolithic Revolution, early river valley civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt, and their contributions to agriculture, government, religion, architecture, and science.
Washington & paris- history of town planningDhanya Pravin
Paris before the renovations of Baron Haussmann was overcrowded, unsanitary, and prone to disease outbreaks. The narrow, winding streets of medieval Paris had changed little and population density in the city center was extremely high, facilitating the rapid spread of cholera epidemics. Traffic circulation was also a major problem due to the narrow streets. The crowded center of Paris was a source of social unrest. In the late 1840s, Napoleon III commissioned Baron Haussmann to completely redesign and modernize Paris through wide boulevards, public works, and standardized building facades to address these issues of public health, order, and control.
The City Beautiful movement arose in the late 19th century as an effort to introduce beautification and grandeur to cities through Neoclassical and Beaux-Arts architecture. Planners like Daniel Burnham wanted to replace railway depots with grand entrances, build attractive bridges, and develop boulevards to address traffic issues and house the wealthy. Though some aspects like Manila's American-style post office emerged in the Philippines, the movement declined by 1909 as being too expensive and impractical. Frank Lloyd Wright later proposed Broadacre City as a vision of low-density, automobile-centered suburbia where each family would own an acre, but it failed to account for large population growth and environmental impacts of urban sprawl
This document summarizes residential condominium properties available for purchase from Moldex Realty, including 1322 Golden Empire Tower and The Grand Towers. It outlines the key benefits of owning a condo such as shelter, investment potential, and income from renting. Details provided include project descriptions, unit features and amenities, floor plans, and financing options. Potential buyers are encouraged to contact the real estate agents for more information or to schedule a property tour.
The document discusses the origins and early forms of cities. It describes how the first cities like Jericho and Catal Huyuk emerged when people transitioned away from solely focusing on basic survival needs. These early cities relied on advanced agriculture and trade. Catal Huyuk had unusual features like houses built together without doors and accessed through roof hatches for added safety. Central planning and social hierarchies emerged as irrigation systems required organization and defense structures were built. The document then contrasts natural, unplanned growth of settlements with planned cities laid out using grids and master plans.
The City Beautiful Movement sought to beautify American cities in the late 19th/early 20th century through monumental architecture and planning inspired by European styles. Reformers believed beautifying cities could inspire civic duty and morality among residents. Daniel Burnham was a leading architect who helped plan the 1893 World's Fair and 1901 plan for Washington D.C., spreading Beaux-Arts styles. He designed skyscrapers like the Flatiron Building and co-authored Chicago's 1909 plan, establishing himself as a pioneer of American city planning before dying in 1912.
Chicago was established in the 1830s as a transportation hub between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River. It grew significantly due to its central location and transportation infrastructure, becoming a major industrial and business center. As the city grew, residential areas developed in concentric zones moving outward from the downtown core. Today, Chicago remains an important transportation and business hub with a population of over 2.7 million people.
This document provides a brief history of urban planning from the late 19th century to today. It describes how planning emerged in response to health and social crises in cities during the Industrial Revolution. Early influences included Marxism, the Romantic and Progressive movements, and public health reformers seeking to address overcrowding, pollution and disease through parks, infrastructure and zoning. Notable figures who shaped early planning ideas and projects included Frederick Law Olmsted, Ebenezer Howard, Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, though their utopian visions did not always match reality. Zoning and master plans became common planning tools in the 20th century, though zoning often exacerbated social inequities and sprawl remains a challenge
As the flagship project for the next downtown Boston neighborhood slated for growth, Atlantic Wharf will be the city of Boston’s first LEED Gold mixed-use development. CBT Architects presents a case study on this new one million square foot project that includes approximately 65 residential units, ground-level retail and public spaces, six stories of below-grade parking, and 31 floors of office space that will bring urban activity directly to the Fort Point Channel water’s edge.
The new sustainable development is at the base of a series of restored and renovated historic structures that preserve the texture and streetscape of this site, integrated with a modern highrise glass tower. By preserving the south and east façades of the historic warehouses, using a very energy-efficient curtainwall, and employing green roof technologies, Atlantic Wharf will be the a centerpiece of Boston's green development.
Frederick Law Olmsted was an American landscape architect in the 19th century who is considered the founder of landscape architecture in the United States. He co-designed many urban parks, including New York City's Central Park and Boston's Emerald Necklace. Olmsted believed that integrating natural landscapes into cities would improve urban living conditions and bring aesthetic beauty. He designed parks to provide open spaces for public use and contemplation of nature, regardless of class.
Brasilia was designed as Brazil's new capital city in the 1950s to relieve overpopulation pressures in Rio de Janeiro and symbolize Brazil's modernization. Urban planner Lucio Costa's design organized the city into sectors for government, commerce, and residential areas separated by green space. Architect Oscar Niemeyer designed many landmark buildings along the city's central axes. While Brasilia succeeded as a planned city and symbol of national identity, critics argue it lacked consideration for daily life and social integration, with large distances between zones and reliance on cars for transportation.
1. New York City is the most populous city in the United States, located in southern New York state. It is a global center for business, finance, culture, and diplomacy as the home of the United Nations.
2. The city is comprised of 5 boroughs - Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Manhattan is the most densely populated borough and contains many skyscrapers, businesses, and cultural attractions.
3. Many iconic New York City landmarks are described, including Wall Street, Times Square, the Empire State Building, Broadway theaters, and Central Park.
The Central Business District (CBD) is the commercial, cultural, and transportation center of a city. It faces competition from internet shopping, retail parks, and huge out of town supermarkets and business parks. As a result, some CBDs have experienced decline with empty shops and offices moving to the outskirts of cities. To revitalize the CBD, cities can pedestrianize areas, bring empty buildings back into use, improve safety and security, create a nicer environment, and hold special events to attract people back into the center.
- Jaipur was established in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as the new capital of Amber to replace the old congested city.

This document outlines Denise Newsome's response to a judge's ruling overruling her objections to a magistrate's decision in a civil eviction case brought against her by Anna Louise Inn. Newsome argues the court lacks jurisdiction for several reasons, including that service of process was incomplete as she is an out-of-state resident. She reiterates her intent to file criminal complaints against Anna Louise Inn and others for their role in the "criminal and civil wrongdoings" in the case. Newsome provides supporting arguments and cites statutes and case law regarding tenant rights and the requirements for service of process and jurisdiction.

The document discusses the history of New York City from the 1860s to the early 1900s. Key points include:
- Frederick Law Olmsted completed Central Park in 1865 and designed it as an escape for New York City's growing population of over 1 million people.
- In the late 1800s, New York saw immense wealth generated on Wall Street but also severe social divisions between the wealthy and poor. Immigrant populations swelled during this time.
- Infrastructure projects like the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883 and New York City subway system in the early 1900s were pivotal in connecting the boroughs and enabling the city's growth. However, workers often faced unsafe conditions and low wages.
- By the 1890

American Urbanization and New York City discusses the growth and development of New York City from 1800 to 1939. The population grew 50x in Manhattan from 1800 to 1900, transforming it from a small farm town to a bustling city. The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 established New York as a major port. In the late 1800s, over 1.5 million Irish immigrants arrived due to the potato famine, straining resources. Throughout this period, infrastructure like police departments and parks were established to manage the growing city. By the early 1900s, new technologies like cars and airplanes connected cities and changed transportation patterns, posing new challenges for urban planning.
The passage summarizes key developments during the Machine Age from 1877-1920. It discusses the shift from agricultural to industrial work and the rise of cities as factories replaced farms. New immigrants provided a source of industrial labor. Transportation innovations like streetcars, subways, and railroads expanded cities. Factories used machines and scientific management to increase productivity but stripped workers of autonomy and dignity. Unions faced challenges from new technologies. Immigrants faced poor living and working conditions in urban tenements and factories. The rise of large corporations transformed the economy and legal system to favor businesses over individuals.
The document discusses the impact of globalization and technology on the rise of global cities and urbanization trends. It notes that cities, not states, are emerging as the dominant centers of governance and economic activity. Megacities over 10 million people are growing rapidly, particularly in Asia and other developing regions. However, very large cities also face challenges around inequality, infrastructure, and quality of life. The future will see continued competition between global cities and new models of urban development.
New York City experienced major changes in the early 20th century as it transitioned from a trading post to the economic capital of the world. The Great Depression devastated the city in the 1930s, but Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia helped rebuild infrastructure and end corruption. Racial segregation also increased during this era, concentrating black communities in neighborhoods like Harlem. New York remained a cultural center as well, with the construction of icons like the Empire State Building and growth of the Harlem Renaissance.

New York City emerged as a dominant urban center in the 1800s due to its position at the crossroads of Atlantic trade routes. The completion of the Erie Canal in 1825, spearheaded by Dewitt Clinton, linked NYC to the interior of the growing US and transformed it into the commercial hub. Robert Moses shaped modern NYC in the 1930s-1950s through large-scale infrastructure projects, though his approach displaced many and favored automobiles over other needs. NYC has historically led as the center of industry and now looks to maintain its position as the global hub of the information economy through mergers like AOL-Time Warner.

Henry Hudson was the first to recognize the potential of the harbor while exploring for a passage to China in 1609. The first Dutch colonists arrived in 1624 to establish a permanent settlement and capitalize on the harbor for business. The colony was owned and operated by the powerful Dutch West India Company. In 1825, the Erie Canal opened, proving pivotal to New York's growth by connecting its harbor to the Midwest and spurring western expansion and development.
The document discusses New York City's history as a center of world trade and immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It notes that by 1860 over a million people lived in New York, the greatest number of rich and poor living together in one area in history. The Great Depression hit New York hard, with thousands protesting and Hoovervilles appearing in Central Park. The document also discusses the massive transatlantic migration from 1870-1914 that saw over 23 million immigrants enter the US, predominantly from Europe and settling in large numbers in New York City.
The document discusses the geological history that formed Manhattan island, including glaciers carving the land and depositing materials. It then summarizes the development of New York City over time, from the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam in 1609 to the establishment of the grid plan in 1811. The document also briefly mentions the 1863 Draft Riots during the Civil War and the growth of New York City in the late 19th/early 20th century enabled by infrastructure like the Erie Canal and electric lighting.
This document discusses the urbanization of New York City between 1865-1898. It describes how New York saw a financial boom after the Civil War driven by industries like oil, steel, and railroads. Political corruption flourished under Boss Tweed, who embezzled over $50 million for city projects. The gap between wealthy and poor New Yorkers widened significantly during this period. Immigration increased dramatically, filling up tenement housing in poor conditions.

This document discusses the history of urbanization in America and the rise of New York City as an economic center. It notes that New York was once the capital of the American industrial economy but its dominance has eroded as industries shifted to other regions like the Sunbelt. However, the merger between AOL and Time Warner positioned New York to reclaim its status as the cultural and economic center of America by bringing strategic advantages to the city. While other major cities like those in California had comparative advantages in industries like technology and entertainment, New York had the potential to consolidate its position through strategic vision from companies operating in the new digital economy.
The document provides a summary of chapter 6 from the textbook "World Regions in Global Context: Peoples, Places, and Environments" which discusses the United States and Canada. It covers the countries' geography, climate, history of settlement and colonization, population patterns, cultural diversity, internal migration trends, transforming economies, and persisting social issues.
New York City grew to become the economic capital of America in the 19th century due to the emergence of its stock market and position as a major port. Massive immigration, especially from Ireland during the potato famine, overwhelmed and changed the city. Figures like DeWitt Clinton helped develop New York's infrastructure and economy through projects like the Erie Canal. By embracing new technologies, New York dominated American industry and media in the late 19th/early 20th century, though its dominance may be challenged in the future as technology allows companies to operate from anywhere.
The document discusses the evolution of neighborhoods in Northwest Brooklyn from industrial areas to hipster enclaves centered around the L train transit line. It describes the demographic and housing trends that drove gentrification in Williamsburg and Bushwick, including the development of new rental and condo housing targeted towards young professionals. While this transformation brought economic opportunities, it also displaced some long-time residents and changed the character of the neighborhoods.
The document provides historical context on industrialization and labor conditions in the late 19th century United States. It discusses Andrew Carnegie's steel empire including the town of Homestead, which had poor living/working conditions for workers. The Battle of Homestead in 1892 erupted when Carnegie hired Pinkerton detectives to replace striking union workers, resulting in deaths on both sides. The document examines the struggles workers faced and efforts made by labor unions to improve conditions over time.

10. “All that is solid melts into the air”
Marshall Berman articulates modernity as “a maelstrom of perpetual
disintegration and renewal.
Causes a split in perception of reality “you cant have the good
without the bad”.
Modernity is a balancing act in a constantly change environment
Berman advocates against the lack of empathy and faith in modern
man to be capable of response, judgment, and action in the world
Critics suggest modern day man find their soul in their automobiles,
homes and tech products.
Contradictory forces that inspire and torment us
“our desire to be rooted the in a stable and coherent person and
social past which conflicts with our desire for limitless growth; a
growth which enriches the future while destroying the solidities of
the past

16. Conclusion
There only few industrial cities left in the world. Most cities has
transitioned to a variety of industries, become more complex and
diverse. The complex industries and the High-Tech age has led to
increase of Asian and European immigrants to countries to work in
these new industries.
Robert Moses while making some improvements caused concerns
and afraid to the citizens of New York and headed the change of
majority power and control of taxpayer monies.
Marshall Berman focuses on the culture of human beings being
second guessed for their actions and the chose of motorized
transport over a more compacted lifestyle.
The interaction of people and buildings are important and suggest
trends of people actions to actively inhabit the environment.
