Enbe final project town

1.Introduction
The idea of this project is to understand the component and
elements of a town and what makes a better livable future town. We will
have to pretend that we are the mayor of the “X” Town. The people in “X”
town require a new town because of reasons that it is too crowded. We
will need to propose a new layout for the new “X” Town very quickly.
We are required to do the followings to understand the meaning of
a “town”, its development, history, components, elements and what
makes a better livable town.
Investigation, collect data and understand the type of town that our
group have selected. Look into documents, article, guideline and issues
regarding planning a better future towns.

2.The Town
3

A town is a human settlement larger than a village but smaller than
a city. The size definition for what constitutes a "town" varies
considerably in different parts of the world.
Townships range in size from 6 to 54 square miles (15.6 km² to
140.4 km²), with 36 square miles (93 km²) being the norm.
The word town shares an origin with the German word Zaun, the
Dutch word tuin, and the Old Norse tun. In English and Dutch, the
meaning of the word took on the sense of the space which these fences
enclosed. In England, a town was a small city that could not afford or
was not allowed to build walls or other larger fortifications, and built a
palisade or stockade instead.
Town also provide a variety of services to their inhabitants, including
sanitation, roads, utilities, transportation and food distribution.Town have
a less denser population than the city, with a population that does not
grow its own food.

What makes a good
town? Use the
landscape to your
advantage,improve the town.Use only one
architectural style per town, this is imperative
to the final look of your project.
Every town or area should have at least one
commanding (large and more importantly
beautiful) building or group of buildings (that
should be on the same street), they can be a
mosque, town hall or whatever suits.
The layout, shape/form
of buildings, colour that define the
5

town ,texture, and also space/perspective on how the town is built are
also important.
Principles to built a town:
Pattern (style of builidings)
Rhythm/Movement (How easily the town can be navigated without a
map)
Proportion/Scale (Fitting the city to a proper size)
Balance (How effective the city building layout is)
Unity (How well the city seems to relate to itself)
Emphasis (Emphasize buildings to have them stand out)
3.Investigation & Data Collection:
Ancient Cities / towns

GOZO
Gozo has been inhabited since 5000 BC, when farmers from nearby
Sicily crossed the sea to the island.Due to the discovery of similar
pottery found in both places from the Għar Dalam phase, it has been
suggested that the first colonists were specifically from the area of
Agrigento; however, it is currently indeterminate
exactly which part of Sicily the farmers came
from. They are thought to have first lived in
caves on the outskirts of what is now known as
Saint Lawrence.
Gozo (off the coast of Italy)
Gozo was an important place for cultural evolution,
and during the neolithic period the Ġgantija temples were built; they are the world's
oldest free-standing structures, as well as the world's oldest religious
structures. The temple's name is Maltese for "belonging to the giants", because
legend in Maltese and Gozitan folklore says the temples were built by giants.
Ggantija Temple
For such a town on a small island, has a population of
around 31,000 people and it is rich in historic locations/
oldest free-standing structures and are also among the
world's oldest religious structures.

Maybe the element that I can use is the architecture of buildings in GOZO.
4. Investigation & Data
Collection:
Present Towns / township
Monte Carlo
Founded in 1866, Monte Carlo has a name of Italian origin meaning
"Mount Charles", in honor of the then-reigning prince, Charles III of
Monaco. The specific mountain is the escarpment at the foot of
the Maritime Alps on which the town stands.The quarter of
Monte Carlo was served by tramways from 1900 to 1953,
linking all parts of Monaco (see transportation in Monaco). In
2003 a new cruise ship pier was completed in the harbour at
Monte Carlo.
Monte Carlo in Monaco (Ward shown)
With more than 300 days a year of sunshine, residents in Monaco can take
advantage of the Mediterranean, and all of its seaside activities. Monte Carlo is host
to most of the Circuit de Monaco, on which the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix
takes place. It also hosts world championship
boxing bouts, the European Poker Tour Grand Final and
the World Backgammon Championship as well
as fashion shows and other events.

Circuit de Monaco
Monte Carlo Casino
Monte Carlo is one of Europe's leading tourist resorts,
although many of the key tourist destinations are
located in other parts of Monaco.
Maybe I will add more features like Monte Carlo had in my new town.e.g. sports
stadium, recreation places, race track etc.
5.Investigation & Data
Collection:
The future of towns and Better Towns
Treasure Island
Treasure Island, an upclose view of the proposed sustainable development
plan and a not so shabby panoramic view of the whole San Francisco Bay
Area. We found that the entire place is steeped in future plans and the island
is a keystone in what will become a center for green living in the Bay.
We also got an eye full of the temporary Bay Bridge span, which was impressively
being connected to the existing bridge over the weekend. Meanwhile, curious ones
like us piled into a shuttle and explored the flat shoals of Treasure Island. Together
9

we squinted at the view, meandered through the parking lots, and gazed into what
could be the developed future of the flat manmade island– an educational urban
farm, a ferry building to mirror the one in San Francisco’s Embarcadero, and a
wastewater treatment plant framed by wetlands.
Housing on the island will be a varied set of townhouses, stacked flats, mid-
rises, neighborhood towers, and high rises, with units for different income
levels all mixed together. On the city side of the island these blocks will be
connected with pedestrian “mews,” landscaped common pathways. On the
east side, a linear park will run down the center of the neighborhood leading
straight to the retail center.
6.The New “X” Town / The New NAME?
ZERUS
I’ve done research about future town and buildings. I’ve
seen many future or modern architecture style of
buildings in Dubai. So I came up with the ideas of using the same architecture style
and the materials for the buildings in this new town.Besides,I can take some
informations from the research on Monte Carlo and Gozo,such as architecture
buildings and features to include in my future town’s plan.

Graphene building Graphene Future building
In this
new
town ,there are many ideas of adding sports and recreation facilities for public use
, including adventure centres, community centres, indoor sports centres, swimming
pools, resorts, sports grounds and stadiums.
Squares , gardens and farming areas will be
installed in a less concentrated area.The purpose to doing so is to give the people in
this new town an opportunity to walk around and not just focus on the concentrated
area. Farming area is for the food production in this new town.
11

Farming area Future square
In this future town you
will find a more
sustainable public transport system. Low cost public
transport will be provided in order to reduce the negative impact towards the
environment of this new town.Bus stations and train stations will increase in the
concentrated area and become less in residential area.
The population in ZERUS is 120,000 Malaysian.ZERUS is a town on an man
made island .Housing in this new town will be a varied set of townhouses,
stacked flats, mid-rises, neighborhood towers, and high rises, with units for
different income levels all mixed together. Safety of the people in ZERUS will
be put in the first place. Every one who enters or exit this new town will be
check with high tech security system to ensure there is no terrorism happens.

Elements in Future Town
In this future town (ZERUS) ,elements like schools,college,university,hospital,police
station ,firestation, pedestrian path and bicycle path will be installed at suitable
places.
SCHOOL , COLLEGE , UNIVERSITY
School,college and university will be installed near the residential area and keep a
distance from the main town area so that students can get a better study
environment.
HOSPITAL, FIRESTATION ,POLICE STATION
All these three will be installed nearby
and can be found easily so that they
can help the citizens immediately
when there is an emergency.
PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE PATH
14

Pesdestrian road and bicycle path will be installed in the main town separately so
that there will be zero accident.
15

Public Transportation and
Transportation Links
Public transportations in this town will be buses and trains. Bus stops and train
stations will be installed more in concentrated area such as main town and less in
residential area.
All the train paths will be on top of the ground
and no underground station because it will be
dangerous if there is a leakage or crack ( town
on an island).

In this future town,travel by bicycle is
highly encourage to decrease the
negative impacts towards the
environment.

Energy Management
Solar-wind Energy
combination of solar power and wind power to produce enormous energy called
the solar wind power, which will satisfy all energy requirements of human kind.
The satellite launched to tap solar
wind power, instead of working like
a wind mill, where a blade
attached to the turbine is physically
rotated to generate electricity,
would use charged copper wire for
capturing electrons zooming away
from the sun at several hundred
kilometers per second.
19

Flying Wind Farms
kite-like airborne turbines
spinning at high altitudes sending
power down via nano-tube
cable tethers to generate power.
At higher altitudes, wind has
more velocity and is more
consistently predictable. As power generated goes up because of higher wind
resistance proportional to the cube of relative velocity, more power can be
generated.
Wind Energy
Wind turbines will be installed near the sea shore as the wind is greater.The
kinetic energy created by the turbines will convert into electrical energy,then
the electricity will be distributed to all the zones through transformers.

7.Conclusion
Before we starts to plan the new town, we must investigate and examine old
cities and towns, present towns and future towns in order to help us and gives us
ideas about our development of future town. Collecting data that will help us to
understand more about the components and elements of a town, such as what
makes a good town etc.
The evolution of technology keeps on going, throughout the research,there is
a huge different between ancient architecture buildings and future architecture
buildings.At this early stage, we must learn how to catch up the evolution and try to
practice it in our projects.
The population in this world keeps on increasing,so we must appreciate every
piece of land on this Earth and most important appreciate what nature has given us.
