1. Introduction

This project is initially, to pretend that you are the mayor of the “X” town where your current town’s people are overly crowded, which is needed to propose a brand new town as a solution to solve the problem. This proposal is a new layout for the new “X” town.

To be able to propose this town, we are required to produce the plan layout following condition such as the size of the town, the population, and type of a town, what types of grid systems are use and also not the main focus of the town and zoning. And finally we are needed to present it on a video or power point format.

This learning outcome also bring us more understating in the geography of the built environment of the surrounding which included the landscape, characteristic of the development land and the requirements to build the existence of sustainable, which offer in this subject.



2. The City

1. definitionCity is primarily used to designate an urban settlement with a large population. However, city may also indicate a special administrative, legal, or historical status.

2. What is the brief historyThe building of cities has a long and complex history. Although city planning as an organized profession has existed for less than a century, all cities display various degrees of forethought and conscious design in their layout and functioning.

Cities exist for many reasons, and the diversity of urban forms can be traced to the complex functions that cities perform. Cities serve as centers of storage, trade, and manufacture. Cities often provide protection in a precarious world.

3. What makes a city / townThe city has to be truly functionally efficient to everything you need should ideally be accessible within a few minutes’ walk, in order to be socially effective.it should offer attractive choices and alternatives in everyday use so that the inhabitants never need to get bored. The city should stimulate our senses and our minds and offer us all the opportunities to engage with life in all its aspects. Only then can the city be a sustainable container life.

4. What makes a good town/ township (guidelines etc)

Taking care of the physical fabric of the town (including historic preservation, improving pedestrian access and establishing open green spaces)

Promoting eco-friendly behaviors and investing in renewable energy systems and environmentally sensitive infrastructure.

5. What is the future townsFor my future town, it’s able to access to facilities, communities, shops, residential, institution and transportation in many way, as this utilities that form my future town. Green infrastructure and urban planning thus play a crucial role in my future town.

8. What makes it a significant town and what are the details?This roman town has provided a significant characteristic about building my town.This town is base on a gridiron system which I apply in my town grid system. There is a hierarchy town system built on it, which included important buildings such as public baths in the south-east quarter, and an administrative Centre (the forum basilica) in the Centre, a rest-house (mansio) near the south gate, used by travelers on imperial business, and an Amphitheatre on the eastern edge of the town.

5. Investigation & Data Collection:

The future of towns and Better Towns

Ludlow,England Ludlow is the largest town in the South Shropshire District. It has a Norman Castle, and a large number of listed buildings. While trading on its past to attract visitors year round, it is also striving to look to the future, and in 2004 was given funding by Advantage West Midlands to build a new eco-park on the edge of the town.As a small market town, Ludlow is endeavoring to balance the conflicting demands of the old and the new. Its heritage buildings are a key attraction, while the town’s economy is being driven by its growing reputation for good food. Its problems are common to many. It has a historic street plan, and suffers from traffic congestion and unsightly parking. It recently faced strong pressure from Tesco which wished to open a new store in the town. This case study shows how a small community can create its own niche through maximizing the potential for tourism, whilst striving to create an attractive streetscape for visitors and locals alike to enjoy.

Calleva Atrebatum Grand Canal of venice

Manchester City6.2 What is the important characteristic and elements

6.3 Conclusion about the new X townMy town has the benefits factor in which normal town doesn’t really provide.as my town facilities and services are walking distance for the communities around the town and also green spaces are installed around the areas to provide eco-environment

7. ConclusionIn conclusion, objective of building a town is a very challenging factor in architecture, many elements, characteristic and sustainable infrastructures are needed to be consider when planning the town, and thus important of layout planning is very crucial playing a long this roles of planning.

Even though my town has provided the facilities and services, as well as the green spaces around, my work is still needed to be improve as many people form my class have shown their talents in implementing sustainability in town. As I do feel that one’s must not be too proud of the satisfaction of the work, and also I have learned from other that, the important of a successful town must have a hierarchy system planning of a town before building it.
