Urban Planning is a technical and political process concerned with
the development and use of land, protection and use of the
environment, public welfare, and the design of the urban development,
including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban
areas, such as transportation, communications, and distribution networks.
Deals with the design and organization of urban space and activities
besides determining and drawing up plans for the future physical
arrangement.
6. Responding to globalization
Globalization has thrust cities into new frontiers making it more
imperative for cities to be globally competitive.
7. Stakeholder partnerships
Cities partner with private sector, other cities, and organizations to
exchange information, build capacities, expand resources and
enhance revenues, and implement improvements in urban
management.
8. Formulation of city development strategies
Several cities across the region have formulated development
strategies based on long-term visions and an analysis of their
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Cities recognized
the essential link and complementarity between national
development policies and city development strategies.
9. Inter-local cooperation
There is a growing appreciation for the linkages between rural and
urban areas, particularly in terms of inter-local cooperation in the
face of the emergence of city-regions or multi-modal metropolitan
areas. City-regions are becoming the foci for integrated urban
development, which is blurring the traditional distinction between
"rural" and "urban".
The Urban Design Brief will include two distinct sections. Section 1 will provide
an analysis and proposed design principles, while Section 2 will describe how
the development options will respond to the analysis and proposed design
principles.
Section 1:
Design Goals and Objectives
Design Response to City Documents
Spatial Analysis
Section 2:
Conceptual Design
Public Realm
Sustainability Techniques
Heritage Initiatives (where applicable)
Design Considerations
Access to facilities
- Access strategy
- Connection with public street
- External signage
Pathways
- Configuration
- Changes in level
- Ramps and sloping grounds
- Stairs and steps
- Floor surface materials
- Handrails
- Tactile surfaces
- Luminous contrast
Lifts
- Operation
- Interior
2. Sense
Sense is depend on spatial form and quality, but also on the culture,
temperament, status, experience, and current purpose of the
observer.
Thus the sense of a particular place will vary for different observers.
3. Fit
The Fit of settlement refers to how well and spatial and temporal
pattern matches the customary behavior of its habitant.
It is the match between the action and forms in its behavior settings
and behavior circuit.
Two kinds of fit:
1. Good fit
2. Bad fit
Theories that have motivated and still inform the construction of cities
NORMATIVE THEORIES:
1. The Cosmic Model
It assertions that the form of a permanent settlement should be a magical
model of the universe and its gods.
Such a crystalline city has all of its parts fused into a perfectly ordered
whole and change is allowed to happen only in a rhythmically controlled
manner
specific phenomena included: such as returning, natural items, celestial
measurement, fixing location, centeredness, boundary definition, earth
images, land geometry, directionality, place consciousness, and
numerology
7. Functionalist Model
This was dedicated to exploring new interwoven urban structures that
would allow opportunities for social encounter/contact and exchange
whose end result is a humanising influence.
The interpretation of this philosophy, however, varied widely in practice:
low-,
medium-,
and high-
--- density; vehicular and pedestrian segregation e.t.c
8. Rationalist Model
This offered a morphological/structural approach to urban design that
related new urban development to the historical structure of the city and
typologies of urban space.
The figure-ground drawing was widely used as a design tool.
As “critical reconstruction”, this method was used to maintain and restore
the traditional 19th century street pattern and form of the urban block,
street and square, without constraining the contemporary architectural
expression of new building additions.
This was not a plea for unthinking preservation or for regarding the city as
a museum; rather, the aim was to explore the deep structure inherent in
building types and how built forms accommodate changing, living uses
over time.
FUNCTIONAL THEORIES:
Urban History: the city is regarded as a unique historic process... explaining
cities as derivative of their own culture (ref Sjoberg, Rapoport).
Urban Chaos: rejects previous theories of competition and posits the city
as an arena of conflict, in which the city's form is the residue and sign of
struggle, and also something which is shaped and used to wage it.
(Castells, Harvey. Lefebvre, Gordon)
