1. Introduction

Well from the brief it said I have to create a town due to a problem. Which is that the city Is to crowded and I have to create a new city to keep it balance. So what I have to do is basically create a town for the newly residence. I have a few selection of choice of my town which is, a town in an island, a town with a lake, a town with a river and a town next to a sea. So my chosen town is a town with a lake. I have to indentify the problem of having a town with a lake and also identify the benefits of having a lake in a town. I have to create a solution for the problems. I also have to make the town relatable to the lake and also make the town a sustainable one to!



2. The City A city is a relatively large and permanent human settlement. Although there is no agreement on how a city is distinguished from a town within general English language meanings, many cities have a particular administrative, legal, or historical status based on local law.

Cities generally have complex systems for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing, and

transportation. The concentration of development greatly facilitates interaction between people and

businesses, benefiting both parties in the process, but it also presents challenges to managing urban

growth.[3] A big city or metropolis usually has associated suburbs and exurbs. Such cities are usually

associated with metropolitan areas and urban areas, creating numerous

business commuters traveling to urban centers for employment. Once a city expands far enough to

reach another city, this region can be deemed a conurbation or megalopolis. The building of cities has a long and complex history. Although city planning as an organized profession has existed for less than a century, all cities display various degrees of forethought and conscious design in their layout and functioning.

THE FUTURE

Cities matter. The choices made by older cities and the design thought that goes into new ones

could have a big impact on global climate change. Cities are likely to gain even more in economic and

political power. If trends continue, they will remain attractive places to live, and may become much

more attractive and “livable” in the future. These changes are not necessarily given, as cities and their

inhabitants and builders have to deal with existing and sub-par infrastructure and transportation, fiscal

challenges, and the general pressure of growth. Current trends and investment suggest that cities will

continue to improve.
