1. Define through illustrations and add a discussion on the following:

a. SITE PLANNING

Site planning is the allocation of functions in a

piece of land to provide efficient utilization of
resources at disposal. Arranging useful spaces
with respect to functions are being created in
the process and the character of site is
accentuated.

These are designated in detail by selecting and

analyzing sites, forming land use plans,
organizing vehicular and pedestrian
circulation, developing visual form and
materials concepts, readjusting the existing
landforms by design grading, providing proper
drainage, and developing the construction details necessary to carry out the projects

b. URBAN DESIGN

Urban design is the art of creating and

shaping cities and towns. It involves the
arrangement and design of buildings,
public spaces, transport systems,
services, and amenities. It is the process
of giving form, shape, and character to

neighborhoods, and the city.
It is also the method of preparing for the provision of municipal services to citizens and tourists ,
as well as designing and shaping the physical features of cities , towns and villages.
