1. Introduction

A town is a small community. A city is a large

community, home to many people. Every city or town

needs to sustain itself. The best way to understand a

town is to explore and investigate a city first hand.

In this project, we will investigate about past,

present and future town and propose a future town

with collected information. We will have to refer to the

past to plan for our future town and learn from history

to create a better future town.

There are positive and negative sides of a city. We

may never produce a perfect city but we can make

improvements. A great city is a city that is sustainable

and livable as well as town. A town consists of spaces

for human activities and interactions with significant

urban problems. Therefore, we will be focusing on the

component of a town and the built environment such

as needs of the people, the facilities, infrastructures

and how it will sustain itself in the future.

2.2 What is the brief history

The Agora, the marketplace and civic center, was one of the most important parts of an ancient city of Athens. In addition to being a place where people gathered to buy and sell all kinds of commodities, it was also a place where people assembled to discuss all kinds of topics: business, politics, current events,

or the nature of the universe and the divine.  The Agora of Athens, where ancient Greek democracy first came to life, provides a wonderful opportunity to examine the commercial, political, religious, and cultural life of one of the great cities of the ancient world.

The earliest archaeological excavations in the Athenian Agora were conducted by the Greek Archaeological Society in the 19th century. Since 1931 and continuing to the present day, the excavations have been conducted by the American School of Classical Studies in Athens.

4. Investigation & Data Collection:Present Towns / township

4.1 History

The history of Incheon started from Goguryeo Kingdom in 475 AD, under the reign of King Jangsu. It's original name was Michuhol and it changed several times and renamed to Incheon-gun in the 13th year of King Taejong’s reign during Joseon period. In 1949, after Korea`s 1945 liberation, Incheon City reorganized and Incheon City finally renamed to Incheon Metropolitan City in 1995.

During the Korea War, there was the battle of Incheon led by an American general of UN Douglas MacArthur and the battle resulted in a decisive victory and strategic reversal in favor of the United Nations(UN). In a show of gratitude to the American soldier, Koreans in the late 1950s erected the bronze statue of MacArthur in a central park at Incheon that overlooks the sea area through which his troops came ashore.

5. Investigation & Data Collection:The future of towns and Better Towns

Build on the island’s positive attributes. • Prioritize water-dependent uses, including moorage and boating activities. • Maintain an island waterfront theme. • Encourage a variety of uses or activities that draw the community and visitors.

Clover Island boasts several businesses, supports the boating community with its yacht club and marina.

The Port of Kennewick Commission has an opportunity to: • Transform Clover Island into a showcase river-shore development site. • Support tourism and economic development, while bringing new customers to the island’s existing tenants.

6. The New “X” City / The Blue Viridescent?

6.1 How did you came up with the solution to create this new townAs the previous X town was too crowded with the population of people living there which is between 80,000 to 200,000, I am required to pretend as a mayor and propose a new layout for the new X town very quickly. Therefore, I have thought of providing condominiums and apartments as residential area instead of terrace houses or bungalows because terrace houses and bungalows occupy a lot of spaces since my town on island only has a size of 15 - 30 km2.

6.2 Characteristics and elements

6.3 Conclusion about the new X townHas forests and green spaces- Reserved forest to ensure continuous species of flora and fauna and cooling down of temperature. - Green spaces to add more greenery to the town.

Condominiums – high rise buildings with green roof to provide residential area for large population of people in “X” townApartments - attractive appearance but is less certain from a financial standpoint due to the area’s low rental rates

Port - Includes equipment and facilities for handling and storing cargo, such as warehouses and cranes- amenities which are designed to appeal to people coming into port,

such as restaurants and hotels.Port office - A stand-alone building could be ready for Port occupation fairly quickly, would generate immediate activity on the island

7. Conclusion

From this building of my new town, I learn to be

creative and innovative. For example, I learn to

arrange and create layout for my future town.

Besides, I also get to know the advantages of using

materials or alternative resources that can save the

environment. For example, the wind turbine helps to

generate electricity from kinetic energy to electrical

energy and this will reduce the usage of non-

renewable materials or methods to generate

electricity. Green roofs are used for cooling the

temperature at the surrounding. In a town, we must

practice to use public transportation and use bicycle

to reduce the air pollution. Besides, arrangement of

the layout must be appropriate. For example, the

residential areas must be near to each other so that

it would be easier for the resident to travel since the

total area of the town is small. I can also learn how

to edit video in a various type of method using

different type of applications such as “ Movie

maker”.
