Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Planning of the Modern City: A Review of the Principles Governing City Planning Subjects will be discussed that are not generally considered as falling within the scope of the engineer's activities, but they are all subjects with which one who is responsible for the develop ment of the city plan should be familiar. Perhaps the most important characteristic of any design should be its adaptability to altered conditions. If this be true with respect to a build ing, an industrial plant, a railway or shipping terminal which can be enlarged or replaced or even moved to another location, it is much more important in the case of the ground plan of a city, which cannot be rearranged or transferred to another place. There is no undertaking, therefore, which demands more careful study of what has happened elsewhere, what is likely to happen in a particular place, and the development of tenden cies which are sure to result in changes in the methods of living and conducting business, than the working out of the general plan for a city or for the successive additions to an existing city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of City Planning City planning has experienced rapid growth and change during the past decade and is now occupying an important place in the public eye. Although there have been many reports and magazine articles, as well as books on special phases, there have been few books covering the whole subject. To fill the need for a single volume assembling in readily accessible form the results of various investigations and the latest discussions of important aspects of the subject, this book has been written. This volume is intended to be of service to those who are studying and teaching city planning and to city officials, particularly to members of zoning or planning commissions. At the same time it is hoped that the book may be helpful to the citizen who is interested in the improvement of his village, town, or city, and is desirous of knowing more about this subject. With these objects in mind the author has given special emphasis to the elements and principles of the various branches of city planning while considering also things of such general interest as the scope of the work, its importance, its possibilities, and means of accomplishment. He has tried to treat the subject comprehensively and with due regard for the practical, theoretical, and esthetic factors involved. He has endeavored to go deep enough for practical usefulness and high enough to give the reader a sweep of vision and an exercise of his constructive imagination. New as well as old ideas of planning have had the attention of the author, and the views of leaders in the field, whether conservative, liberal, practical, or visionary, have been presented. Although now and again throughout the text, particularly in those chapters dealing with the historical development of city planning and of housing, the writer has called attention to important developments elsewhere in the world, nevertheless he has endeavored to stress the trends and accomplishments of these movements within the borders of the United States.

Download or read book The New City written by Ludwig Hilberseimer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New City: Principles of Planning All human settlements depend, in their growth and in their decline, on social, spiritual, political, and economic forces. These forces are influenced by the status of technics, by the forms of production and consumption, and by the means of transportation available to the settlement builders. This interdependence of social and technological forces is expressed in all kinds of culture and varies only with the variations of the predominant elements. We can see that this is true as we study cities of the past. They are unlike cities of today, but they show that, as each new order comes into existence, changes in urban development become both possible and necessary. This process is clear wherever we find settlements of men. Students have tended to limit research to large settlements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from City Planning: With Special Reference to the Planning of Streets and Lots Finally, and doubtless of more importance than all the rest, has been the splendid and inspiring progress which everywhere is taking place in the fast unfolding science and eager practice of city building - progress in reasonableness, beauty, and fitness. As a result of all this, the original book - published in 1911 as The Width and Arrangement of Streets, in an edition which has been since exhausted - has been so amplified, revised, and rearranged that a reader will not be impressed by the presence of the old material. Yet it is all here-though buried under the new. The book, as an exponent of the cause of more rational methods of street platting, has definite mission. But it is hoped that it will prove more than simply propagandist. It is designed, in insist ence upon the less spectacular but more efficient phases of city planning, to help in a practical way the real estate platter - be he owner, dealer, city engineer, or landscape architect. Its theme is that in the platting of streets he will best serve himself who best serves his community. Thus it would promote good housing.

This book was released on 2016-08-02 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Cities to-Day and to-Morrow: A Survey of Planning and Zoning Progress in the United States The planning of cities and regions has become a recognized community activity and responsibility within less than two decades. To plan intelligently and comprehensively we need to know many things which are now only half understood, and we need to compare, analyze, and appraise experience before we can be sure of basic principles. The natural unorganized power of our cities for the adaptation of means to ends has proved entirely inadequate to cope with the present accelerated rate of change. City planning, however, cannot wait for research. Many communities are on the point of being, as it were, overwhelmed on the field of battle. Those charged with administering municipal government must plan their tactics and even their major strategy under fire. This situation has forced cities and city planners to make decisions on insufficient data, - to use weapons fashioned from opportunistic facts rather than from facts scientifically chosen and wrought out. Only in the last three or four years have arisen the beginnings of a more penetrating comparative scrutiny of methods now employed and an appraisal of elements of success or failure in their application. Before we can choose the most promising subjects of research, - the subjects most likely to furnish ammunition immediately usable in the fight against congestion, against unbalanced distribution of urban population and unwholesome urban environment, - it is essential to know what experiments are being made in the cities of the United States and what results have come from specific lines of action in dealing with specific situations. We should guard ourselves, however, against producing voluminous compilations of ignorant opinions, or tabulations and listings of undigested or insignificant information. Harvard University made a grant from the Milton Fund for Research to the authors of the present book for "a survey and analysis of city planning and zoning progress in the United States."
