Book excerpt: 'The Complex City: Social and Built Approaches and Methods' explores different ways of understanding the city. The social city approach proceeds from the ground-up, it focuses on human interactions shaped by economic and environmental processes. The built city method looks through a top-down lens, examining policy and planning for buildings and infrastructure, including utilities and energy networks. This volume is different from other city anthologies in that it explores them through their differences, by presenting each chapter in one of the two categories. While there is invariably an overlap between the two areas, they are distinct positions. In doing so the book identifies how, despite their often adversarial approaches, they both belong to the same city. As essential components of the city they should not necessarily be resolved, as it is in this friction where creativity and innovation happens. 'The Complex City: Social and Built Approaches and Methods' is concerned about the ideas and solutions that they both offer. The book’s originality stems from this duality, and from its recognition that cities are living, organic, protean places of opportunity, crisis, conflict and challenge. The chapters demonstrate the complexity of cities as a set of ideas concerning what they engender, how they function and why they continue to act as a catalyst for different kinds of human activity. They explore issues of socio-political import and questions of the city as a physically constructed space. The themes are diverse and include the inception of the city as a place of competition to centres of regeneration and urban withdrawal. They cover a range of city and urban regions from Athens to Wellington from site specific singular perspectives to comparative assessments. The questions they raise include how do we inhabit urban areas, how do we make plans for them, and how do we, at times, ignore them entirely.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past three decades, India has witnessed rapid urbanisation and industrialisation. It is the world’s second-most populous country, with a population of 1028 million and, of this, 285 million (27.8%) live in its 7,935 cities and towns (as per census 2011). Economic reforms have given a push to the process of urbanization and it is expected that by 2050, half of its population will be living in cities and there will certainly be an increase in the number of cities and towns. The land available for development is scarce in cities, with serviced urban land being scarcer and mostly privately owned. It is therefore imperative to design a land management tool catering to both the existing developmental need and the future urban growth. Indian cities have the urban development planning process is done at a hierarchical level. Urban development is regulated to the macro-level plan by the Development Plan or Master Plan which is a statutory instrument to control, direct and promote the growth of the development and redevelopment of the urban area. The development plan is prepared with the view of achieving maximum social and economic benefits. A micro-level plan, on the other hand, indicates details and specific locations of various activities and facilities as suggested in the development plan. Therefore, town planning schemes are necessary for the implementation of the development plan.

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.
