Q1. Explain the concept of the Garden City as given by Ebenezer Howard.
The Garden City Movement was once an thought of Sir Ebenezer Howard,
is acknowledged for his Publication Garden Cities of To-morrow (1898). It describes a
utopian town in which humans stay harmoniously collectively with nature. The
Garden City notion was once additionally given through him. The guide resulted in
the founding of the backyard metropolis motion that realized quite a few Garden
Cities in Great Britain at the establishing of the twentieth century.
The backyard metropolis idea is one of the most influential city planning thoughts of
all time. Championed by way of British author and social theorist, Sir Ebenezer
Howard, the idea known as for small cities which have been self-contained and
surrounded by means of greenbelts. He argued they would be in a position to
accommodate the entirety of a person’s every
day needs, whilst nonetheless retaining a connection to the surrounding countryside.
The first such city used to be constructed in Letchworth, Hertfordshire, England in
1903. He shared his imaginative and prescient of city planning which dealt
with backyard suburb even though this concept. He additionally talked
about backyard village, city diagram and regional planning in some of his books.
Garden city development had The Three Magnets to address the inquiry 'Where
will individuals go?' the decisions being 'Town', 'Country' or 'Town Country'.
These 3 magnets can likewise be viewed as the nursery city standards. Open spaces,
focal park and green spaces were given a great deal of significance in Howard's
arrangement.
• Town – The draw of 'Town Magnet' are the chances for work and high wages,
social freedoms, beguilements and well – lit roads. The draw of 'Nation
Magnet' is in regular excellence, outside air, refreshment. It was finishing off
of nature, offered separation of groups and distance from work. In any case, it
included some significant downfalls of foul air, exorbitant seepage, dim sky
and ghettos.
• Nation – It offered regular excellence, low leases, natural air, glade however
had low wages and absence of waste. Nation has bluntness, absence of society,
low wages, absence of beguilements and general rot.
• Town-Country – it was a blend of both town and wide open with point of
giving advantages of both and offered excellence of nature, social freedom,
fields of simple access, low lease, high wages and field of big business. Along
these lines, the arrangement was found in a mix of the benefits of Town and
Country – the 'Town – Country Magnet' – it was proposed as a town in the
Country, and having inside it the conveniences of characteristic excellence,
natural air and restorative effect. Hence benefits of the Town – Country are
seed to be liberated from the inconveniences of by the same token.
Fundamental Components of Garden City Concept
• Arranged Dispersal: The coordinated outward relocation of businesses and
individuals to towns of adequate size to offer the types of assistance,
assortment of occupations, and level of culture required by a reasonable cross
– segment of present day culture.
• Breaking point of Town – size: The development of towns to be restricted, all
together that their occupants may live approach work, shops, social focuses,
and one another and furthermore close to open country.
• Conveniences: The interior surface of towns to be sufficiently open to allow
houses with private nurseries, satisfactory room for schools and other
practical purposes, and lovely stops and expressways.
• Town and Country Relationship: The town region to be characterized and an
enormous region around it saved for all time for agribusiness; in this manner
empowering the homestead individuals to be guaranteed of a close by market
and social focus, and the town individuals to have the advantage of a nation
circumstance.
• Arranging Control: Pre – arranging of the entire town structure, including the
street – conspire, and useful drafting; the fixing of greatest densities; the
control of working as to quality and configuration, yet considering singular
assortment; capable planting and scene garden plan.
• Neighbourhoods: The town to be isolated into wards, each somewhat a
formative and social substance.
A portion of the significant highlights of Garden City are –
• 1000 sections of land of towns intended for solid living and industry
• 5000 sections of land if lasting green belt which encompasses the entire town
• Thickness of 12 families for every section of land
• An enormous focal park having public structures.
• restricted size of approx 32000 individuals, arranged ahead of time and land in
single possession to take out congestion.
Garden City Concept
Garden urban areas models because of nursery city development
Two Garden urban communities were fabricated utilizing Howard's nursery city
development idea are Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City, both in
Hertfordshire, England.
Letchworth Garden City – The primary nursery city created in 1903 by Barry Parker
and Raymond Unwin subsequent to having won the opposition to fabricate the main
nursery city. It is 34 miles from London. It has a space of 5000 sections of land with
3000 sections of land of green belt. It had an agrarian strip at its outskirts to check
the intrusion of metropolitan zones for example the rambling. It showed Howard's
overall standards, including the mutual responsibility for land and the lasting green
belt has been helped through. It was a town of homes and gardens with adequate
open spaces and a vivacious local area life. An extraordinary consideration was paid
to arranging and planting
• Its arrangement depended on a populace of 30000
• Its arrangement depended on a populace of 30000 with a living space of 1250
sections of land and 2500 sections of land of provincial green belt.
• Networks went from 12000 – 18000 individuals, little enough which required
no vehicular transportation.
• Enterprises were associated with the focal city by quick transportation.
Q2.What was the New Town Movement? How did it influence Modern City
Planning?
The new town development alludes to towns that were inherent the United Kingdom
after World War II and that have been deliberately arranged, created and worked as a
solution for congestion and clog in certain occasions, and to dispersed specially
appointed settlements in others.[1] The fundamental justification it was to decongest
bigger industrialized urban areas, rehousing individuals in newly constructed, new and
completely arranged towns that were totally independent and accommodated the local
area.
Innovation in Urban Planning selected the automation of the city, the usefulness, the
request, the drafting – these are a portion of the fundamental standards started from
the fourth CIAM of design, that will be then written down with the "Athens sanction".
These standards are clear in Le Corbusier's venture "La ville radieuse", dated 1935, and
they are made to acquire request the city and imagine it as a machine that works as
indicated by explicit principles. This is the vision of the experts of the Modern
development. This vision will impact the metropolitan arranging of the excess piece of
the century.
The cutting edge city is the one where everything can be effectively recognized,
incorporated the four head human exercises: living, working, getting a charge out of
extra energy and going around. This perspective made resonating progress at an overall
level until the second wherein unmistakably the urban areas arranged observing these
principles don't think about the genuine necessities of residents.
The individual requirements to draw in with the others and he is definitely not a
straightforward stuff nor a machine, and the city not one or the other.
NEW TOWNS AS MODERNIST PLANNING
'WE MUST BUILD ON A CLEAR SITE!' expressed Le Corbusier (1929, refered to in Hall, 1988:
208, unique capitals). For Le Corbusier it was fundamental for clear spaces of enormous
urban areas preceding structure the new innovator city. In any case, clearing an
enormous site in an old city might be for all intents and purposes troublesome or meet
resistance. Making an altogether new settlement on effectively 'clear' provincial land is
more direct: 'Arranging in downtown areas needs to adapt to set up road designs,
structures, networks and personal stakes, and is subsequently a politically soaked
movement; arranging in the city periphery or for distant locales manages the
substitution of unpeopled wide open by assembled conditions and is to a great extent
specialized and unopinionated. new towns are the most perfect instances of late 20th
century greenfield advancement
Q3. Compare and contrast the merits and demerits of the Linear cities and Vertical
cities proposed by various urban planners and theorists

Q4. What do you understand by a “Neighborhood Unit”? How was it conceptualized
by Clarence Perry?
The 'neighborhood unit' as an arranging idea advanced in light of the deteriorated
ecological and social conditions encouraged as an outcome of mechanical upheaval in the
mid 1900.
• Perry's local unit idea started as a methods for protecting the local area from the
evil impacts of blossoming ocean of vehicular traffic. Notwithstanding, it developed
to fill a lot more extensive need of giving a noticeable personality to the idea of the
area, and of offering to planners a system for spreading the city into more modest
subareas.
• the local unit is a populated region which would require and uphold a grade school
with an enrolment of somewhere in the range of 1,000 and 1,200 students.
• Created as a low thickness abiding locale with a populace of 10 families for every
section of land, the local unit would possess around 160 sections of land and have a
shape which would deliver it pointless for any kid to walk a distance of more than
one-quarter mile to class. Around 10% of the space would be distributed to
diversion, and through traffic conduits would be bound to the encompassing roads,
inward roads being restricted to support access for occupants of the area.
Six significant standards of Perry;
• Major arterials and through traffic courses ought not go through private areas.
Rather these roads ought to give limits of the area
• Inside road examples ought to be planned and built through utilization of circular
drives, bended design and light obligation surfacing to empower a peaceful,
protected and low volume traffic development and safeguarding of the private air
• The number of inhabitants in the area ought to be what is needed to help its grade
school
• The neighborhood point of convergence ought to be the grade school midway
situated on a typical or green, alongside different foundations that have
administration territories correspondent with the local limits
• The range of the area ought to be a limit of one quarter mile subsequently blocking
a stroll of more than that distance for any primary school youngster.
• Shopping areas ought to be sited at the edge of neighborhoods ideally at significant
road crossing points.
