several entry points through the wall.

to be a consequence of the use of bricks, a

to hand in alluvial river valleys.
By the 19th century, with the Industrial Revolution, people were moving to cities in
unprecedented numbers. Workers lived in sheds, railroad yards, and factory cellars,
typically without sanitation facilities and water supply.
In the late 19th century, Britain embarked on public housing development. Laborers’
dwelling acts, authorizing local governments to construct public housing were enacted
as early as the mid 19th century. Urban-renewal demolition activities were empowered
during the same period. Massive public housing programs were started after each of the
world wars.
Housing programs in the United States and in Western European nations share many
similarities. All these countries have initiated public housing, urban renewal, and new
town programs. However, public intervention in Europe began sooner and has been
more extensive than in the United States.
The invention of the steam engine in 1769
ushered the beginning of the industrial
revolution , the “Machine Age”, for it meant
that human labor can be supplemented or
replaced by machines.
The early impacts of this is increased
congestion, safety hazards and air/water
pollution.

In the post industrial society of the 20th century, housing
in developing nations and poor parts of developed
countries continues to be of insufficient quality and does
not meet the demand of some parts of the population.
Vacant, abandoned central-city housing exists alongside
structures that are usable but overcrowded and buildings
that are structurally reclaimable but are functionally
obsolete.
Because of the rapid growth of cities and the problems of
industrialization, a number of reform movements emerged.

ALFRED MARSHALL- invented the idea of the new town
as an answer to the problems of the city.
“Garden Cities of Tomorrow” (1902), one of the most
important books in the history of urban planning.
Garden City combined the advantages of the town by way of
access and all the advantages of the country by way of the
environment without any of the disadvantages of either. This
is achieved by planned decentralization of worker and their
places of employment thus transferring the advantages of
urban agglomeration en bloc to the new settlement.
Patrick Geddes theorized that physical planning could not improve urban living condition unless it
was integrated with social and economic planning in a context of environmental concern
The answer to the sordid congestion of the giant city is a vast program of regional planning within
which each sub-regional part would be harmoniously developed on the basis of its own natural
resources with total respect for the principles of ecological balance and resource renewal. Cities in
the scheme became subordinate to the region; old cities and new towns alike would grow just a
necessary parts of the regional scheme.
“Survey before plan” Planning must start with a survey of the resources of such a region and of
human responses to it, and of the resulting complexities of the cultural landscape; emphasis on
survey method.

parks and clusters of focal buildings or building
blocks of civic centers incl. City hall, a country

and a plaza
Castigated by Lewis Mumford as cosmetic, comparing
Burnham’s approach with planning practiced in

American City Planning Institute (AIP) was founded in Kansas City in 1917,
with 52 people dedicated to the advancement of the art and science of planning.
In 1916, New York City adopted the first zoning regulations. (law)
