2. Write your own opinion about “ Urban planning”.
Urban planning is urban spatial planning that covers all aspects of life in society.
The approach used in urban planning is to make a picture of the existing physical
environment pattern and the relationship of urban space with interrelated functions.
Urban planning includes organizing, or influencing, the distribution of land use
within areas that have been created or are intended to be created. Urban planning
plays a role in controlling changes in the city that occur continuously. Cities are
always experiencing social change, political change, cultural change and economic
change. The changes that occur are always related to the elements of space, public
interest, and decisions in response to change. Therefore, urban planning can be a
determinant in the development and growth of a city.
3.2 Vocabulary review
Land,n Land is the solid surface of Earth that is not permanently
submerged in water.[1] Most but not all land is situated
at elevations above sea level (variable over geologic time
frames) and consists mainly of crustal components such
as rock, sand, soil, and sometimes ice. The vast majority of
human activity throughout history has occurred in land
areas that support agriculture, habitat, and various natural
resources. Some life forms, including terrestrial
plants and terrestrial animals, have developed from
predecessor species that originated in bodies of water.

Plan, n/ v A plan is typically any diagram or list of steps with details


of timing and resources, used to achieve an objective to do
something. It is commonly understood as a temporal set of
intended actions through which one expects to achieve
a goal.

Design, n/v A design is a plan or specification for the construction of an


object or system or for the implementation of an activity or
process, or the result of that plan or specification in the form
of a prototype, product or process. The verb to
design expresses the process of developing a design. In
some cases, the direct construction of an object without an
explicit prior plan (such as in craftwork, some engineering,
coding, and graphic design) may also be considered to be a
design activity. The design usually has to satisfy
certain goals and constraints, may take into account
aesthetic, functional, economic, or socio-political
considerations, and is expected to interact with a
certain environment. Major examples of designs
include architectural blueprints, engineering
drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams, and sewing
patterns.
Development, n

Communities,n A community is a social unit (a group of living things) with


commonality such as norms, religion, values, customs,
or identity. Communities may share a sense
of place situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a
country, village, town, or neighbourhood) or in virtual space
through communication platforms. Durable relations that
extend beyond immediate genealogical ties also define a
sense of community, important to their identity, practice,
and roles in social institutions such as family, home, work,
government, society, or humanity at large.[1] Although
communities are usually small relative to personal social
ties, "community" may also refer to large group affiliations
such as national communities, international communities,
and virtual communities
Neighborhood,n A neighbourhood (British English, Hibernian
English, Australian English and Canadian English)
or neighborhood (American English; see spelling
differences) is a geographically
localised community within a
larger city, town, suburb or rural area. Neighbourhoods are
often social communities with considerable face-to-face
interaction among members. Researchers have not agreed
on an exact definition, but the following may serve as a
starting point: "Neighbourhood is generally defined
spatially as a specific geographic area and functionally as a
set of social networks. Neighbourhoods, then, are
the spatial units in which face-to-face social interactions
occur—the personal settings and situations where residents
seek to realise common values, socialise youth, and
maintain effective social control.
Movement,n Movement is the existence of an action, of course, not only
using the original state/position. In the modern origins of
urban planning lie in the movement for urban reform that
arose as a reaction against the disorder of the industrial city
in the mid-19th century.
Outcome,n Outcome is the final result of a series of actions or events
expressed qualitatively or quantitatively. Possible outcomes
include gain, loss, gain, injury, loss, value and win. In the
late-20th century, the term sustainable development has
come to represent an ideal outcome in the sum of all
planning goals.
Sustainable,adj Sustainability is the capacity to endure in a relatively
ongoing way across various domains of life.[2] In the 21st
century, it refers generally to the capacity for
Earth's biosphere and human civilization to co-exist.
Sustainability has also been described as "meeting the needs
of the present generation without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their needs" (Brundtland,
1987). For many, sustainability is defined through the
interconnected domains
of environment, economy and society.[3] Despite the
increased popularity of the term "sustainability" and its
usage,[4] the possibility that human societies will achieve
environmental sustainability has been, and continues to be,
questioned—in light of environmental
degradation, biodiversity loss, climate
change, overconsumption, population growth and societies'
pursuit of unlimited economic growth in a closed system.
Strategic,adj Strategy (from Greek στρατηγία stratēgia, "art of troop
leader; office of general, command, generalship"[1]) is a
general plan to achieve one or more long-term or
overall goals under conditions of uncertainty. In the sense
of the "art of the general", which included several subsets
of skills including military tactics, siegecraft, logistics etc.,
the term came into use in the 6th century C.E. in Eastern
Roman terminology, and was translated into
Western vernacular languages only in the 18th century.
From then until the 20th century, the word "strategy" came
to denote "a comprehensive way to try to pursue political
ends, including the threat or actual use of force, in a
dialectic of wills" in a military conflict, in which both
adversaries interact.
Settlement,n It is the embodiment/form of the occupants' existence to
take refuge, forge experiences, move, perceive, create, think
and tell stories about their lives and livelihoods. In urban
planning, to ensure the regularity of settlement
development, it is necessary to have a technical planning
and political process related to land use control and urban
environmental design, including transportation networks.
Goal,n A goal is an idea of the future or desired result that a person
or a group of people envision, plan and commit to
achieve.[1] People endeavour to reach goals within a finite
time by setting deadlines.
A goal is roughly similar to a purpose or aim, the
anticipated result which guides reaction, or an end, which is
an object, either a physical object or an abstract object, that
has intrinsic value.

Preservation,n Preservation is a state that remains as it was. Or, unchanging


circumstances. The historical preservation plan is one form
of planning in this city planning.
Research,n Research is "creative and systematic work undertaken to
increase the stock of knowledge".[1] It involves the
collection, organization and analysis of information to
increase understanding of a topic or issue. A research
project may be an expansion on past work in the field. To
test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments,
research may replicate elements of prior projects or the
project as a whole.
Renewal,n Update is the process, way, or deed to update. In urban
planning can include urban renewal.
Adapt,v The meaning of the word adapt is to harmonize. By adapting
urban planning methods to existing cities suffering from
decline.
Represent,v The meaning of the word represent is to act as a
representative (on behalf of). Other definition of represent
is to represent. In the late-20th century, the term sustainable
development has come to represent an ideal outcome in the
sum of all planning goals.
Concern,v
Environment,n

Planner,n
