…….Arguments FOR

 There is a significant interrelationship between the form and function of a city; thus,
-   1.  It is immoral for urban development to be left to chance …it must be controlled through planning and
design frameworks to ensure the city works well, is people-friendly, and has a positive environmental impact
      2. The enterprise culture, with its laissez-faire attitude of the 1980s and 1990s, led to more amorphous
growth and remodeling of many cities, hence the erosion of the quality of urban space
      3. Many of the problems of cities are actually the result of their inadequacy: structure and form, their
distribution of population, their land-use patterns, and transport systems all of which are interdependent.
     4. Economic forces must operate for rather than against the city…their manifestation in the physical,
spatial, structural, and land-use terms must be guided into forms that enhance the city’s quality and identity
as a place for people.
