Download or read book Patrick Geddes and Town Planning written by Noah Hysler-Rubin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrick Geddes is considered a forefather of the modern urban planning movement. This book studies the various, and even opposing ways, in which Geddes has been interpreted up to this day, providing a new reading of his life, writing and plans. Geddes' scrutiny is presented as a case study for Town Planning as a whole. Tying together for the first time key concepts in cultural geography and colonial urbanism, the book proposes a more vigorous historiography, exposing hidden narratives and past agendas still dominating the disciplinary discourse. Written by a cultural geographer and a town planner, this book offers a rounded, full-length analysis of Geddes' vision and its material manifestation, functioning also as a much needed critical tool to evaluate Modern Town Planning as an academic and practical discipline. The book also includes a long overdue model of his urban theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from City Growth Essen It would be impossible to measure the savings consequent upon this intelligent hastening of the economic process which brings land into its proper use. The savings which will be made will be mea sured not only in terms of greater utility at that moment in land, but also by the enormous expenses incident to mistakes in urban planning and development. Streets will be built of more adequate size and uses more wisely allocated to the territories to which they are best adapted and toward which they would eventually, inevitably gravitate. In any study of American cities, it must be kept constantly in mind that American cities are as yet young and are consequently dynamic. The comparatively static conditions in cities of European countries may offer excellent opportunities for research, but forbid unthinking following of methods and plans worked out in those cities. The enormous amount of wealth and of population concentrated in American cities staggers the imagination when it is remembered that that concentration has been accomplished within but little more than a century. Concepts that today are adequate, tomorrow have been laid on the shelf as antiquated by the dynamic force of Amer ican growth. Here in the span of a decade or two one can see the results of forces which in a more static community might take generations to work out.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from City Planning, Vol. 5: Official Organ of the American City Planning Institute, the National Conference on City Planning; January, 1929 On the other hand the larger the city the greater the inconvenience and discomrt of living. Inlfact, the real brake on the growth of the larger cities is the constant question: do the disadvantages of living (in New York, for example) outweigh the advantages? It follows that the great problem of the city planner to-day is to see how the exceptional oerings of the larger cities can be combined with advantageous con ditions for living, working, and playing.

Download or read book Town Planning in Practice written by Raymond Unwin and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1909, Raymond Unwin's Town Planning in Practice: An Introduction to the Art of Designing Cities and Suburbs is an extraordinary compendium of images and theories on urban design. As a member of the generation of planners following Camillo Sitte and preceding the emergence of the modern planners of the 1920s, Unwin considered planning a design-based discipline rather than a purely technical one. He believed that artistic and practical criteria were mutually supportive and carried this out in his work by creating plans that represented a unity of art, science, and technology. Unwin is perhaps the greatest figure of the Garden City movement, which has had a tremendous impact on planning in both Europe and the United States. Although Town Planning has become the bible of neo-traditionalist planners, this book is not a nostalgic view of past planning ideas; rather, it is a useful, forward-looking book that holds valuable lessons for today's planners. Its insightful critical analyses of many towns throughout Europe and the United States are accompanied by photographs, plans, drawings, and six foldout maps. This reprint of Town Planning in Practice includes a new preface by Andres Duany and an introduction by Walter Creese.
Download or read book The Image of the City written by Kevin Lynch and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1964-06-15 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic work on the evaluation of city form. What does the city's form actually mean to the people who live there? What can the city planner do to make the city's image more vivid and memorable to the city dweller? To answer these questions, Mr. Lynch, supported by studies of Los Angeles, Boston, and Jersey City, formulates a new criterion—imageability—and shows its potential value as a guide for the building and rebuilding of cities. The wide scope of this study leads to an original and vital method for the evaluation of city form. The architect, the planner, and certainly the city dweller will all want to read this book.

This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Planning Problems of Town, City and Region: Papers and Discussions at the Twentieth National Conference on City Planning, Held at Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas; May 7 to 10, 1928 This paper discusses certain fundamental needs for open spaces in and around modern cities. As a preliminary to the preparation of a plan for the future of a particular community, it is necessary not only to be familiar with the history and problems of that city but also to have general statistical information applicable to the future of any City. The relative number and size of urban communities in any country follow definite mathematical laws. Part of the open space between towns is essential for the production of crops. Other areas must be devoted to watersheds. Inside the city limits, proper provision must be made for parks and playgrounds. Open space must also be left for roadways and sidewalks adequate to meet the needs of urban traffic. Rapid transit and transportation must be provided. Buildings must be so limited in height, bulk and spacing as to insure a proper access of light and air and to afford fire protection. The space within the buildings themselves must be sufficient to provide healthy living and working conditions for the occupants. The quantitative analysis of such needs as these may well be termed the Science underlying the Art of City Planning.

Download or read book Notes for a Study in City Planning in Champaign Urbana Classic Reprint written by University Of Illinois and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes for a Study in City Planning in Champaign-Urbana In addition, the four regular students in the class of 1913 were each required to write a brief introduction to the reports; but as it would have been tiresome to repeat these, they have been thrown into a single chapter. This has been done by taking complete paragraphs from each and using nothing which was not written by the students. The introduction as given may be fairly considered, therefore, as a composite, representative of the united Views of the Civic Design stu dents in the class of 1913, and hence properly signed by them all. In the case of subsequent chapters which are signed by more than one student, the students themselves combined their independent theses. It is obvious that to make an authoritative city plan for Champaign and Urbana was not the prime purpose of this study of the Twin Cities. But because it is realized that in the press of busy lives, and the in sistency of personal interests, few persons have had opportunity for dispassionate and comprehensive study of the local civic problem, the theses have been brought together in the belief that they will prove at least interesting, and perhaps instructive and suggestive. If they contain, further, recommendations which commend themselves as directly valuable and helpful, the classes will be glad that they were able to do in this way a public service for the cities which house their alma mater and to which, thru all their lives, they will look back with affectionate tenderness.

Book excerpt: In The Divided City, urban practitioner and scholar Alan Mallach presents a detailed picture of what has happened over the past 15 to 20 years in industrial cities like Pittsburgh and Baltimore, as they have undergone unprecedented, unexpected revival. He spotlights these changes while placing them in their larger economic, social and political context. Most importantly, he explores the pervasive significance of race in American cities, and looks closely at the successes and failures of city governments, nonprofit entities, and citizens as they have tried to address the challenges of change. The Divided City concludes with strategies to foster greater equality and opportunity, firmly grounding them in the cities' economic and political realities.
