3. INTRODUCTION TO CITY
A city is a large and permanent
place for human settle down
and it generally have complex
systems for sanitation, utilities,
land usage, housing, and trans-
portation.

5. the city of uruk past city
In the ancient world, a city is an urban center which have:
- dense population
- certain pattern of buildings spreading out from a cen-
tral religious complex such as a temple
- laws and rules
They are also defined as large communities of people
who have decided to live together.
Location: East of the present bed of the Euphrates riv-
er, on the ancient dry former channel of the Euphra-
tes River (some 30 km east of modern As-Samawah,
Al-Muthanna, Iraq.)
Feature:
[1] Considered the first true and also oldest city in the world, was first set-
tled in c. 4500 BCE and walled cities, for defence, were common by 2900
BCE throughout the region.
[2] An ancient city of Sumer and later Babylonia, At its height c 2900 BC,
Uruk probably had 50,000-80,000 residents living in 6 km sq. of walled
area.
[3] The origin of writing
[4] Proper waste management and sanitation
[5] Defense structure
[6] The first city to develop the cylinder seal which the ancient Mesopo-
tamians used to designate personal property or as a signature on docu-
ments.
The stone temple, base of the Ziggurat at the archaeological site of
Uruk in Warka
The structures follow the two main typologies of Sumerian architecture, Tripartite with
3 parallel halls and T-Shaped also with three halls, but the central one extends into
two perpendicular bays at one end

There are standing male and female deities in alter-
nate niches
Round Pillar Hall in Uruk
Temple N, Cone-Mosaic Courtyard, and Round Pillar Hall
are often referred to as a single structure; the Cone-Mosaic
Temple.
The origins of writing in the form
of cuneiform script representing
the Sumerian language
The city of Uruk had two major public complexes in the Uruk period. One of these was the
Anu ziggurat and White Temple, both dedicated to the Mesopotamian sky-god Anu. Several
architectural features of the building complex had appeared first in the Ubaid period, show-
ing the continuity between the two phases.

10. tokyo, japan future city
Japan’s Ocean Spiral, the futuristic
concept proposed as giant
underwater city by Japanese
architecture firm Shimizu Corp.
The company says the Ocean Spiral would take 5 years
to build and the technology required will be ready in
15 years to confront increasing global problems such
as rising sea levels and the need to create new, clean
energy sources in the future.
Features:
[1] An underwater metropolis that generates energy
from the seabed and is capable of providing homes
and accommodation for 5,000 people.
[2] The structure will stretch all the way to the crushing
black depths 2.8 miles under the sea off the coast of
Japan.
[3] Giant sphere with a diameter 500 meters (1,640
feet) situated just below the surface will form the first
section and house residential zones, businesses and
hotels.
[4] This inhabited area will be connected to a nine-mile
spiral (section 2) that that descends to the seabed
where a deep-sea submarine port and factory
(section 3) will create the energy required to power the
sphere by using micro-organisms that turn carbon diox-
ide into methane.

12. neighbourhood unit town planning principles
Clarence Arthur Perry (1872-1944) was an
American planner. He formulated his early ide-
as about the neighborhood unit and commu-
nity life which is 5-minute walk to define walk-
ing distances from residential to non-residential
components. Perry was very concerned about
the walkability to and from schools. His ide-
as were realized in neighborhoods like Rad-
burn through the work of Clarence Stein.
Perry's 6 basic principles of neighbourhood
theory:
[1] Traffic routes should not pass through
residential neighbourhoods.
[2] Interior street pattern should be de-
signed and constructed through use of
cul-de-sacs, curve layout and light duty
surfacing
[3] The population of the neighbourhood
should be that which is necessary to sup-
port its elementary school.
[4] The neighbourhood focal point should
be the elementary school centrally lo-
cated on a common or green along with
other institutions that have services area
coincident with the neighbourhood bound-
aries.
[5] The radius of the neighbourhood
should be a maximum of 1/4 mile
[6] Shopping dictricts should be sited at
the edge of the neighbourhood.
Sir Clarence Arthur Perry, one
of the famous people in plan-
ning during the 5th century B.C.

plan in 1929 which in-
cluded traffic routes, safe
interior street patterns,
estimated population,
schools, green spaces and
service area.
(Picture at bottom left)
The traditional neighbor-
hood includes a high level
of connectivity allowing
actual walk distances to
nearly meet the 1/4 mile
radius.

13. The conventional suburban model of
development provides very little connec-
tivity from the residences to the places of
business making it very auto-dependent.
(Picture at above)
The Neighbourhood Idea
A sound area for living with:
[1] Adequate school and parks within a half mile walk
[2] Major streets around rather than through the neigh-
bourhood
[3] Seperate reidential and non residential districts
[4] Population large enough to support an elementary
school. Usually 5000 to 10000 people
[5] Some neighbourhood stores and services
Reproduced from Comprehensive Planning for The
Whittier Neighbourhood, courtesy of Minneapolis City
Planning Commision Perry's original concept.
(Picture at Below)
The neighbourhood unit was conceived of
as a comprehensive physical planning tool,
to be utilised for designing self-contained
residential neighbourhoods which promot-
ed a community centric lifestyle, away from
the noise and air pollution.

bourhood subdistrict planning.
[A] Physical feature - the large open park to the
north.
[B] Major Street - Stony Island Avenue, with its
heavy traffic and major bus route, to the west.
[C] Ethnic grouping - an almost 100 per cent Negro
population and an almost 100 per cent white pop-
ulation are seperated, at least temporarily, by Stony
Island Avenue.
[D] Focal points - the retail shopping area along
both sides of Stony Island Avenue is a local center
of pedestrian attraction.
[E] Residential building type - the six residential
blocks in the subdistrict are comprised exclusively of
three story apartment house. There is an abrupt shift
to prestige type single family residences to the east
and to a mixture of one and two family dwellings to
the south.
[F] Neighbourhood associations - attempts are un-
derway to organize a local citizens groupto improve
the area within the neighbourhood subgroup bound-
aries.
[G] Community facility service areas - all public
school elementary pupils in the subdistrict attend
the Parkside Elementary School.

15. better future town guidelines
Important guilding principles to build a
better and sustainable future town:
[1] Walkability
- Pedestrian-friendly street de
sign.
- Sidewalk lights.
- Most things within a 10-minute
walk.
[2] Permeability / Connectivity
- Interconnected street-grid net
work disperses traffic and eases
walking.
- A hierarchy of narrow streets,
boulevards and alleys.
- High quality pedestrian net
work and public realm makes
walking pleasurable.
[3] Mixed Use and Diversity
(Make a town/city living)
- A mix of shops, offices, apart
ments and homes on site.
- Mixed-use within neighbor
hoods, within blocks and within
buildings.
- Diversity of people - of ages,
income levels, cultures and races.
[4] Mix Housing
- A range of types, sizes and
prices in closer proximity.
[5] Quality Architecture and Urban Design
- Emphasis on beauty, aesthetics, hu
man comfort and creating a sense of
place.
- Special placement of civic uses and
sites within community.
- Human-scale architecture and beauti
ful surroundings nourish the human
spirit.
Example of rubustness in city:
Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Example of good walkability city:
Skyline Walkway New York
13

16. [6] Traditional Neighbourhood Structure
- Discernable center and edge.
- Public space at center.
- Importance of quality public realm;
public open space designed as civic art.
- A range of uses and densities within
10-minute walk.
- Transect planning:
Highest densities at town center;
Progressively less dense toward the
edge.
- Design of the human habitat and the
urbanists to support the viability of
nature.
[7] Increased Density
- More buildings, residences, shops and
services closer together for ease of
walking
- Enable a more efficient use of servic
es and resources, create a more con
venient, enjoyable place to live.
[8] Green Transportation
- A network of high quality trains
connecting cities, towns and neighbor
hoods together.
- Pedestrian-friendly design that en
courages a greater use of bicycles,
rollerblades, scooters and walking as
daily transportation.
[9] Green Building Index (GBI)
- Promote Protection of the Natural
Environment
- Optimising and lowering the impact
on the Resources
[10] Sustainability
- Minimal environmental impact of de
velopment and its operations.
- Eco-friendly technologies, respect for
ecology and value of natural systems.
- Energy efficiency.
- Less use of finite fuels.
- More walking, less driving.
- Enable technologies
[12] Quality of Life
- Create places that enrich, uplift and
inspire the human spirit.
