Urban form

Urban forms can develop organically without centralized planning or be planned and coordinated. Organic urban forms see houses and infrastructure develop in an uncontrolled way, while planned forms are deliberately designed. The way a city grows, whether organically or through planning, provides insights into the attitudes and lifestyles of its inhabitants. Early urban forms from over 12,000 years ago developed as permanent agriculture allowed people to settle in one location, with the first true cities emerging between 4500-3500 BCE in the Middle East being carefully organized with walls, entrances, markets and designated areas.

Urban form
Before we delve into our brief history of urban forms, let's talk a little more about the term.
Urban forms are ever changing, adapting with every new building, park, sidewalk, road, or
gate that's erected. As urban forms develop and change, we can identify two major
variations. An organic urban form is one that develops without centralized planning.
Nobody tells people where to put houses, or which way the city gate should face. In contrast,
a planned urban form is designed and coordinated. The ways that urban centers grow,
whether in organic or planned ways, can tell us a lot about the attitudes, beliefs, lifestyles,
and influences of people who live there.
(Origins of Urban Form
Our story begins up to 12,000 years ago during a period called the Neolithic Revolution.
This period saw the earliest experiments with agriculture. Agriculture allowed people to stay
in one place throughout the year and build permanent structures.
As people settled down, they developed the first urban societies. We assume that most of
these arose organically, but it did not take people long to develop planned urban centers.
The first true cities developed in the Middle East between 4500 and 3500 BCE and were
very carefully organized. Many cities were enclosed within walls, with formal entrances and
defined places for markets, temples, and royal homes.)

This document summarizes an academic paper about the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava. It discusses the museum's origins and controversies surrounding its construction. The museum aims to tell a narrative about humanity's impact on the environment through interactive exhibits that allow visitors to shape alternative futures. It provides both necrotopian scenarios depicting human excess leading to environmental destruction, and thalassopian visions symbolizing change and hope through its design elements and the visitor's journey through the museum.

The document discusses how the link between public space and public culture should be understood by considering the total dynamic of a public setting, including both human and non-human elements. It states that the collective experiences and responses within public spaces result from pre-cognitive and tacit human reactions to the "situated multiplicity" or brought togetherness of bodies, masses, materials, and various uses and needs within a shared physical area.

Public space and public visual landscapeLorenza Manfredi

��

The document discusses public spaces and how architecture can influence how people interact in and use public spaces. It addresses questions around who owns public visual landscapes, who uses public spaces, whether street art can improve urban quality, and how leftover spaces can be utilized. The document examines public spaces historically from ancient Greek agoras to modern spaces like Potsdamer Platz and how spaces allow different cultural groups to congregate.

Public spaces in ancient period.Ar.Vishal Chaurasiya

��

Public spaces played an important social role in ancient Greece and Rome. In ancient Greece, the agora served as a central public space in cities where citizens could gather for political and commercial activities. The agora exemplified the open and democratic nature of Greek society. In Rome, public spaces such as forums and baths were focal points for social and civic life. Over time, as professions evolved and industry developed, the importance of ancient public spaces like the Greek agora declined in Europe. However, public spaces still provide significant social, economic, health and community benefits.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL AND MULTILAYER DIMENSIONS OF EVOLVING CITIES FOR A SUSTAINAB...Sai Bhaskar Reddy Nakka

��

Cities are growing at a rapid phase, due to exponential growth of populations all over the world. The world population might stabilize by 2070 after reaching the peak population levels of about 9 billion. Already the urban population, living mostly in cities has reached 50% of the world population. Cities in the last few centuries have evolved coping with changes in social, economic, cultural, aesthetics, utility, historical, political, natural and environmental factors. There is always an interface between the interests of old and new generations of people sharing the same space. The buildings have more life than the people living in them. Each building is at least able to provide space for at least two generations. The comfort levels of one generation and the next are different in same space. There are often changes brought with time in any building. Similarly the infrastructure is also changing at a rapid phase as the transportation means and systems are changing. The access to power, drinking water, and open spaces for cultural and social events, educational institutions, markets, etc. also impacts the living space. The security and basic amenities are the main factors of consideration for not moving away from the congested cities. There is always an overlap of old and new adaptation factors, creating resilience for coexistence. The remembrance of a space and events in once own life time impact the people, and they love to continue in similar space. There is a kind of energy that one gets, while returning to the same space, it is often seen that the old people prefer living in the space they are used to and they often live longer too. There are emotions too acting up on the life of the people. Considering all the above factors, each city can be considered a single organism, having its own identity and also there are various diverse spaces within it. It is like a human body single living things, but various parts of the human body function for the happiness of the whole. There is a need to understand multifunctional and multilayer dimensions of the cities, for making a sustainable living in the cities.

This document discusses the history and development of cities from early villages to modern urban centers. It notes that while cities have existed for over 5,000 years, widespread urbanization is a more recent phenomenon occurring mostly in the last 150 years. Key events and factors in the growth of cities include the development of agriculture allowing for permanent settlements, the rise of centralized authority under kings which led to the emergence of the first citadels and walled cities, and the industrial revolution which vastly accelerated the urbanization process and changed the role of cities globally. The document references several scholars and their works analyzing urbanization trends and the strategic importance of cities throughout history.

The document discusses the evolution of neighborhood structures throughout history. Neighborhoods started as tribal communities without defined structures, but began developing with the rise of early cities like those in the Indus Valley civilization. Neighborhood structures continued to change with the Bronze, Iron, medieval, and industrial periods as populations grew and urbanization increased. By the modern period, neighborhoods encompassed thousands of families and included schools, parks, stores, and other amenities within walking distance.

HUMAN SETTLEMENTS PLANNING Compiled ByJamie Boyd

��

Human settlements can be classified in several ways, including by population size, geographical distribution, physical form, functions, and time dimension. Key classifications include rural vs urban settlements, with urban defined as having a population over 50,000 and density over 1,000 per square mile. Settlements are also classified by their population sizes from small villages to large cities. Their physical forms can take geometric shapes like linear, rectangular, circular or star-like patterns. Classification is difficult to standardize due to wide diversity globally.

The document summarizes key concepts from Session 7 on urban geography. It discusses when and why cities first developed, with the earliest cities emerging around 8,000 years ago in Mesopotamia due to agricultural surpluses and social stratification. It then covers theories on where cities are located, such as central place theory, which examines the spatial distribution and hierarchy of urban centers based on trade areas. The document also reviews the internal organization and functioning of cities.

The document provides details about the ancient city of Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec civilization founded in 1325. It describes the city's layout as built on an island in a lake, with a grid plan and connected to the mainland by three causeways. The center of the city contained large temples and plazas. It highlights the city's advanced water and agricultural systems, including aqueducts, dikes, and floating gardens called chinampas, which allowed the large population to be sustained. The document concludes by noting elements of Tenochtitlan's design that could be applied to the future city, such as its layout and structure centered around a large temple tower.

Human settlements are places where humans live and are influenced by various factors. Settlements have evolved over time from primitive and non-organized groups to modern organized cities and urban areas. The document discusses the major phases of evolution of human settlements from primitive groups to modern urban areas. It also discusses how early settlements arose in river valleys that had fertile soil and water for agriculture, which allowed surplus food and the rise of early cities with specialized populations. Environmental factors like water sources, landscape, and vegetation influenced where early humans chose to settle.

Cities are large urban centers that serve as central places providing specialized goods and services. They are defined as having populations over 100,000. Cities are larger and more densely populated than towns, and may incorporate surrounding areas. Power and administration are centered in cities. Kevin Lynch identified five key elements that comprise a city's image and structure: paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks. Paths are roads and visual corridors that link all other elements. Districts have distinct characteristics and identities. Edges form boundaries between districts. Nodes are important gathering places. Landmarks provide unique orientation points. Scale is a system of measurement that refers to both empirical and relative sizes. It impacts human perception and generates feelings related

The document discusses several key aspects of city size and neighborhoods: 1. Larger city sizes are correlated with increased air pollution due to longer travel times to work. 2. While cities are more economically efficient than villages, they also result in less pleasant living conditions. 3. Those in the lower-income groups prefer to live in cities as they receive higher wages and larger living spaces, despite the unpleasant conditions. 4. As cities compete with each other, less attention is paid to social justice and who benefits from development, violating personal and social values that cannot be quantified financially. 5. It will become increasingly difficult to control air and water pollution as cities continue growing in size.

This document provides an agenda for a conference titled "urban paradox: human evolution and the 21st- century town" being held on February 21, 2014 at UCL Institute of Archaeology. The conference will discuss how modern urban environments differ from the natural habitat humans evolved in, and will explore ways to design cities in a manner that better aligns with human evolutionary needs through things like encouraging physical activity, social interaction, and exposure to natural environments. Speakers will address topics like how to introduce evolutionary health perspectives in schools, using sports to reduce crime, green space design, active work environments, transportation, and community engagement. The goal is to help urban dwellers lead healthier, happier lives through cities that better simulate natural habitats.

PUP 420: Theory of Urban Design Historical Perspectives: Siena, Italy Part of understanding the basics of urban design is to understand the history of designing our cities. Two basic city forms – organic and geometric – emerged very early in Western civilizations. Organic cities are likely to have been the more ancient of the two, having arisen through chance and accretion. Accretion means that these settlements grew where paths became streets, and villages merged into towns and then cities. Organic cities developed around geographic features that were crucial to trade or defense, such as regional crossroads, safe harbors, river crossings, access to mountain passes, and so forth. Miletus, origin of Miletian plan Palace Quarter, Babylon The geometric form, on the other hand, was planned – purposely and self-consciously designed. This is where we get our grid system, where streets are at right angles and form blocks. Most early geometric cities had specific places for religion and commerce. And most early societies were concerned about controlling access to their city for the purpose of defense. Historical Perspectives: Historical Perspectives: Piazza del Campo, Siena Villingen, Germany The Middle Ages were shaped by warfare and military considerations, leading to things like building city walls. Public spaces became associated with religious structures and, later, commerce, as the church plaza became the marketplace. During the Middle Ages, we also started building secular public plazas – these are plazas that are not associated with a church or religion. Piazza del Campo in Sienna was one of the first of these secular plazas. Historical Perspectives: Pienza, Italy Palmanova, Italy Next, we move ahead to the Renaissance, which was roughly the 15th – 17th Centuries. (There’s no consensus about the exact years.) During this time, classical architecture and planning served as precedents, as neo-classical architecture began to be built. This was stemming from a renewed interest in art, architecture, literature, and so forth. This coincides with the emerging “humanist” view – meaning that people were looking at Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece for inspiration and seeing the value in classical learning. Historical Perspectives: Pope Sixtus V’s Plan of Rome The Baroque period was roughly the 16th – 17th Centuries, sometimes grouped into the Renaissance time period. During the Baroque period, we built straight avenues with clear lines of sight. Our cities also had radial and diagonal patterns defined by focal points. This is largely because the planners were military engineers, interested in efficiency. During this time, cities were also starting to be confronted with the challenges of swelling populations – and the consequences of this on health, light, and air. Historical Perspectives: Paris, France Baro ...

This document provides an overview of the history of urban design from ancient times to the present. It discusses two early city forms that emerged - organic cities that developed organically and geometric cities that were purposefully planned. During the Middle Ages, cities were shaped by warfare and public spaces became associated with religious and commercial structures. The Renaissance saw a renewed interest in classical architecture. Baroque cities had straight avenues and radial patterns. In the US, cities utilized grids and had a relationship between urban and rural areas. The Industrial Revolution led to mass urbanization. More recent eras saw the development of suburbs and modernist high-density developments. The document outlines two paradigms of urban design - empiricism based on precedents and rationalism

This document discusses the defining characteristics of cities throughout history based on the views of several scholars. It outlines that cities are the largest man-made artifacts, containing both a political and economic order. Key characteristics include permanence, large populations, high density, and social stratification. Ancient cities emphasized defenses, temples, and marketplaces. Medieval cities marked a new social order centered around commerce. The modern city emerged in the 1800s, shaped by industry and transportation innovations. All cities involve specialized work, income sources, record keeping, ties to countryside, and monumental structures housing diverse groups.

Urban form

1. Urban form Before we delve into our brief history of urban forms, let's talk a little more about the term. Urban forms are ever changing, adapting with every new building, park, sidewalk, road, or gate that's erected. As urban forms develop and change, we can identify two major variations. An organic urban form is one that develops without centralized planning. Nobody tells people where to put houses, or which way the city gate should face. In contrast, a planned urban form is designed and coordinated. The ways that urban centers grow, whether in organic or planned ways, can tell us a lot about the attitudes, beliefs, lifestyles, and influences of people who live there. (Origins of Urban Form Our story begins up to 12,000 years ago during a period called the Neolithic Revolution. This period saw the earliest experiments with agriculture. Agriculture allowed people to stay in one place throughout the year and build permanent structures. As people settled down, they developed the first urban societies. We assume that most of these arose organically, but it did not take people long to develop planned urban centers. The first true cities developed in the Middle East between 4500 and 3500 BCE and were very carefully organized. Many cities were enclosed within walls, with formal entrances and defined places for markets, temples, and royal homes.)
