1. HE WROTE THE BOOKS EKISTICS IN 1968 AND ECUMENOPOLIS IN 1975.

A. PETER HALL
B. LEWIS MUMFORD
C. DOXIADIS
D. LE CORBUSIER
BASIS/NOTES:
Ekistics concerns the science of human settlements, including regional, city,

community planning and dwelling design. The study involves every kind of human
settlement, with particular attention to geography, ecology, human psychology,
anthropology, culture, politics, and occasionally aesthetics.
As a scientific mode of study, ekistics currently relies on statistics and description,

organized in five ekistic elements or principles: nature, anthropos, society, shells,
and networks. It is generally a more scientific field than urban planning, and has
considerable overlap with some of the less restrained fields of architectural theory.
The term 'ekistics' was coined by Constantinos Apostolos Doxiadis in 1942
Ecumenopolis (from Greek: οἰκουμένη oecumene, meaning "world", and πόλις polis
meaning "city", thus a city made of the whole world; pl. ecumenopolises or
ecumenopoleis) is the hypothetical concept of a planetwide city. The word was
invented in 1967 by the Greek city planner Constantinos Doxiadis to represent the
idea that in the future urban areas and megalopolises would eventually fuse and
there would be a single continuous worldwide city as a progression from the current
urbanization and population growth trends.
2. HE WROTE THE BOOK IMAGE OF THE CITY.

A. DOXIADIS
B. KEVIN LYNCH
C. PATRICK GEDDIES
D. EBENEZEER HOWARD
BASIS/NOTES:
Kevin Andrew Lynch (January 7, 1918 – April 25, 1984) was an American urban
planner and author. He is known for his work on the perceptual form of urban
environments and was an early proponent of mental mapping. His most influential
books include The Image of the City (1960), a seminal work on the perceptual form
of urban environments, and What Time is This Place? (1972), which theorizes how
the physical environment captures and refigures temporal processes.
3. SUGGEST AN AGROPOLITAN OF CONCENTRATING DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

IN RURAL DISTRICTS WITH FROM ABOUT 50,000 TO 150,000 PEOPLE.
A. FREIDMAN AND DOUGLAS
B. BARRY PARKER
C. PETER HALL
D. DOXIADIS
NOTES/BASIS:
The idea of agropolitan introduced by Friedmann and Douglass will basically

empower the village for not only maximizing production and local trade, but also
can increase social knowledge to the wider community, thereby increasing the
capacity of communities to address difficult and complex problems.
Essentially, the agropolitan (from the words “agriculture” or farm, and “polis” or city)
approach balances development between urban and rural or agricultural areas. This
means there is a better integration, a more balanced relationship between the cities
and the farms so that communities and town cities are still close to the farm. The
approach is not exactly novel since this type of development dates back to the Middle
Ages. Its practice, though, continues in southern France and in many parts of
Europe.
4. EARLY PIONEER OF THE CONCEPT OF NODAL REGION. PROMOTER OF

GARDEN CITY MOVEMENT
A. LEWIS MUMFORD
B. EBENEZEER HOWARD
C. PETER HALL
D. KEVIN LYNCH
NOTES/BASIS:
The garden city movement is a method of urban planning in which self-contained

communities are surrounded by "greenbelts", containing proportionate areas of
residences, industry, and agriculture. The idea was initiated in 1898 by Sir Ebenezer
Howard in the United Kingdom.
5. BUILT THE FIRST CITY GARDEN “LETCHWORH” IN 1920.

A. UNWIND RAYMUND/BARRY PARKER
B. FREIDMAN AND DOUGLAS
C. LE CORBUSIER
D. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
NOTES/BASIS:
City Garden of Letchworth was laid out by Raymond Unwin as a demonstration of
the principles established by Ebenezer Howard who sought to create an alternative
to the industrial city by combining the best of town and country living. It is also home
to the United Kingdom's first roundabout, which was built in 1909.
Xxx
In 1902 Parker and Unwin were asked to design a model village at New Earswick near
York for Joseph and Benjamin Seebohm Rowntree, and the following year they were
given the opportunity to take part in the creation of Letchworth (loosely based on the
Utopian plan of Ebenezer Howard), when the First Garden City Company asked them
to submit a plan.
The popularity of Parker and Unwin's "country" style, plus the success of the Cheap
Cottages Exhibitions of 1905 and 1907, inspired British urban architectural design
for many decades – a style which, according to Meades "shunned urbanism to an
extent otherwise unknown on this continent".
6. HE PREPARED THE GREATER LONDON PLAN OF 1944

A. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
B. ABERCROMBIE
C. LEWIS MUMFORD
D. PETER HALL
NOTES/BASIS:
The Greater London Plan of 1944 was developed by Sir Leslie Patrick Abercrombie
(1879-1957). The plan was directly related to the County of London Plan written by
Abercrombie in 1943, with contributions by John Henry Forshaw (1895-1973).
Following World War II, London was presented with an opportunity to amend the
perceived failings of unplanned and haphazard development that had occurred as a
result of rapid industrialisation in the nineteenth century.
7. HIS WORK AS A BIOLOGIST AND STUDY OF HUMAN ECOLOGY LED TO A

SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF FORCES THAT WERE SHAPING GROWTH AND CHANGE IN
MODERN CITIES.
A. LEWIS MUMFORD
B. PATRICK LEWIS
C. PATRICK GEDDES
D. KEVIN LYNCH
NOTES/BASIS:
Sir Patrick Geddes FRSE (2 October 1854 – 17 April 1932) was a Scottish
biologist, sociologist, geographer, philanthropist and pioneering town planner. He
is known for his innovative thinking in the fields of urban planning and sociology.
He introduced the concept of "region" to architecture and planning and coined the
term "conurbation".
8. A FOLLOWER OF THE IDEAS OF PATRICK GEDDES, HE WROTE THE BOOK

CULTURE OF CITIES.
A. LEWIS MUMFORD
B. PATRICK LEWIS
C. KEVIN LYNCH
D. PETER HALL
Considered among the greatest works of Lewis Mumford—a prolific historian,
sociologist, philosopher of technology, and longtime architecture critic for the New
Yorker—The Culture of Cities is a call for communal action to “rebuild the urban
world on a sounder human foundation.” First published in 1938, this radical
investigation into the human environment is based on firsthand surveys of North
American and European locales, as well as extensive historical and technological
research. Mumford takes readers from the compact, worker-friendly streets of
medieval hamlets to the symmetrical neoclassical avenues of Renaissance cities.
He studies the squalor of nineteenth-century factory towns and speculates on the
fate of the booming twentieth-century Megalopolis—whose impossible scale,
Mumford believes, can only lead to its collapse into a “Nekropolis,” a monstrosity
of living death.
A civic visionary, Mumford is credited with some of the earliest proposals for
ecological urban planning and the appropriate use of technology to create balanced
living environments. In the final chapters of The Culture of Cities, he outlines
possible paths toward utopian future cities that could be free of the stressors of
the Megalopolis, in sync with the rhythms of daily life, powered by clean energy,
integrated with agricultural regions, and full of honest and comfortable housing for
the working class. The principles set forth by these visions, once applied to Nazi-
occupied Europe’s razed cities, are still relevant today as technological advances
and overpopulation change the nature of urban life.
9. HE DEVELOPED A LOW DENSITY URBAN SPRAWL CALLED “BROADACRE

CITY”.
A. ABERCROMBIE
B. PATRICK LEWIS
C. PATRICK GEDDIES
D. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
Broadacre City was an urban or suburban development concept proposed by Frank
Lloyd Wright throughout most of his lifetime. He presented the idea in his book The
Disappearing City in 1932.
Broadacre City was the antithesis of a city and the apotheosis of the newly born
suburbia, shaped through Wright's particular vision. It was both a planning
statement and a socio-political scheme by which each U.S. family would be given
a one acre (4,046.86 m²) plot of land from the federal lands reserves, and a Wright-
conceived community would be built anew from this. In a sense it was the exact
opposite of transit-oriented development. There is a train station and a few office
and apartment buildings in Broadacre City, but the apartment dwellers are
expected to be a small minority. All important transport is done by automobile and
the pedestrian can exist safely only within the confines of the one acre (4,046.86
m²) plots where most of the population dwells.
10. PROPOSED TO DEVELOP ALONG AN AXIS OF HIGH SPEED, HIGH INTENSITY

TRANSPORTATION AND UTILITY
SYSTEMS AND HOUSE ALONGSIDE. HE CALLED SUCH DEVELOPMENT “LINEAR
CITY”.
A. SORIA Y MATA
B. LEWIS MUMFORD
C. KEVIN LYNCH
D. PETER HALL
The linear city was an urban plan for an elongated urban formation. The city
would consist of a series of functionally specialized parallel sectors. Generally, the
city would run parallel to a river and be built so that the dominant wind would
blow from the residential areas to the industrial strip. The sectors of a linear city
would be:
 a purely segregated zone for railway lines,

 a zone of production and communal enterprises, with related scientific,
technical and educational institutions,
 a green belt or buffer zone with major highway,
 a residential zone, including a band of social institutions, a band of
residential buildings and a "children's band",
 a park zone, and
 an agricultural zone with gardens and state-run farms (sovkhozy in the
Soviet Union).
As the city expanded, additional sectors would be added to the end of each band,
so that the city would become ever longer, without growing wider.
The linear city design was first developed by Arturo Soria y Mata in Madrid, Spain
during the 19th century, but was promoted by the Soviet planner Nikolay
Alexandrovich Milyutin in the late 1920s. (Milyutin justified placing production
enterprises and schools in the same band with Engels' statement that "education
and labour will be united".)
