A CITY

♦ A LARGE town, developed urban areas that has a large population density

compared to other places. ♦ place or situation characterized by a specified attribute. ♦ A place that people work and live ♦ Is it a place of memory embedded in architecture ♦ It must have building and some public services. ♦ No exact definition for a city and it varies between countries

The current issues in the city: ♦ Environmentally ♦ Cities today confront unprecedented social ♦ political, challenges air pollution lack of high technology transportation ♦ lack of higher technology WHAT MAKE A GOOD CITY??

Leaders in developing nations must cope with urbanization on an unprecedented scale, while those in developed ones wrestle with aging infrastructures and stretched budgets. All are fighting to secure or maintain the competitiveness of their cities and the livelihoods of the people who live in them. And all are aware of the environmental legacy they will leave if they fail to find more sustainable, resource-efficient ways of managing these cities.

1. They achieve smart growth. Smart growth identifies and nurtures the very best opportunities for growth, plans ways to cope with its demands, integrates environmental thinking, and ensures that all citizens enjoy a city’s prosperity. Good city leaders also think about regional growth because as a metropolis expands, they will need the cooperation of surrounding municipalities and

regional service providers. Integrating the environment into economic decision making is vital to smart growth: cities must invest in infrastructure that reduces emissions, waste production, and water use, as well as in building high-density communities.

2. They do more with less. Great cities secure all revenues due, explore investment partnerships, embrace technology, make organizational changes that eliminate overlapping roles, and manage expenses. Successful city leaders have also learned that, if designed and executed well, private–public partnerships can be an essential element of smart growth, delivering lower-cost, higher-quality infrastructure and services.

They win support for change. Change is not easy, and its momentum can even attract opposition. Successful city leaders build a high-performing team of civil servants, create a working environment where all employees are accountable for their actions, and take every opportunity to forge a stakeholder consensus with the local population and business community. They take steps to recruit and retain top talent, emphasize collaboration, and train civil servants in the use of technology.

♦ A good city also good in transportation means and connectivity between places.

♦ Good telecommunication services ♦ Cultural significance ♦ Strong sense of place ♦ Clean and Low pollution

ANCIENT CITIES-Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is an extraordinary ancient stone city along the Inca Trail in Peru and forms one of the most famous historical sites in the world. Believed to have been constructed by the Inca Yupanqui people sometime during the mid-fifteenth century, the ruins of Machu Picchu sit high atop a granite mountain. The high standard of engineering and construction employed by the Incas, such as the fact that each stone on the site fits together seamlessly, accounts for Machu Picchu’s incredible state of preservation. Machu Picchu was actually only discovered in 1911 by an American historian and much of its history remains a mystery. Past speculation has included theories such as that Machu Picchu was a mostly female city and that it was built as a last attempt by the Incas to preserve their culture. The former of these theories was due to the fact that, of the hundred skeletons found in Machu Picchu’s fifty burial sites, 80% were initially believed to be female, although this has since been disproven. Machu Picchu is thought to have had a population of at least five hundred thousand people and, with its incredibly ornate stonework and architecture, is widely considered to have been an important ceremonial site. Some of Machu Picchu’s most impressive structures include the semi-circular Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Three Windows, the mausoleum and the upper cemetery. Machu Picchu’s agricultural section, with its terraces and granaries, is also an important aspect of the site demonstrating the advanced agricultural methods employed by the Inca people. The main Machu Picchu city is surrounded by other sites forming the Inca Trail and some of which take some

serious hiking, but are well worth it. It’s also a good idea to stop at the Museo de Sitio Manuel Chávez Ballón at the base of the mountain. This site features as one of our Top 10 Tourist Attractions in Peru.

The Present City- China

China knowingly carries status of «world factory» — this country is the largest in the world producer of consumer goods. However, China’s economic success is directly related to its terrible environmental conditions. But the authorities have recognized this problem and struggling to solve. One example of the creation of options to alter the situation, is the project of self-sufficient ‘green’ city of Great City.

China in recent years, began active development of «green» technologies. For example, it is already running the world’s largest hydroelectric Three Gorges, and

the number of generated power windmills Celestial has already overtaken the United States. In the future — construction of entire cities, which will generate electricity exclusively from renewable sources. A Great City — the first of these ambitious projects.

Great City concept designed by the architect Adrian Smith from Gordon Gill Architecture. This project involves the construction of a small (80 000 inhabitants), a satellite town seven millionth Chinese metropolis of Chengdu.

Moreover, all of the energy is used by this settlement, will be produced from renewable sources, that is, by means of solar panels, wind turbines, hydro, etc.

Great City streets are devoid of motor traffic. At any point of the settlement can be reached on foot from a different point of maximum of fifteen minutes. Transport is communication, multi-level car parks, railways and highways that connect the city with Chengdu, will be put into the ground. As planned by the architect, much of the entire city will be parks. They will surround the Great City on the perimeter and the area of greenery will be 480 acres.

We developed this project dense vertical city to prove that residents of large communities can live in harmony with nature, and not in opposition to it so says the idea of Great City itself Endrian Smith.

The Future is now it as it has often been said and Singapore if anything has always been the bedrock of this future. With its small surface area and pliable citizens, it is the perfect experimenting ground for changes to be made on a global level.

With a significantly smaller plot of land to work with than most other countries, Singapore's foray into becoming a Sustainable City of the future has been primed and prepped for several years now.

And in this future the word of the day is ‘Green'. This means green living, green cities, green energy and green food.

But why the switch from Industrial to Ecological? The answer lies deep in our dwindling natural resources, overpopulation and high levels of pollution.

Rapid energy consumption is a major problem and transportation currently amounts to nearly a quarter of the world's energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission. Reducing this would significantly impact the environment. In most cases it would also reduce the heat and humidity levels of the land.

Other factors such as electricity, fuel, manufacturing and waste contributes detrimentally to the environment and the authority body created to see this vision into reality, the United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) have begun preliminary planning and implementation to trial and perfect this vision of the future.

This vision of a green city was termed an ‘ecocity' by Richard Register in 1987 but the idea of the ecocity has been around for as long as 1968.

More commonly known as Sustainable Cities via the mainstream media, these integrated energy efficient cities are the next phase in urban and land planning on a global level.

Sustainable Cities currently have a loose definition but is generally agreed that it must be able to sustain itself with minimal reliance on its surroundings and be able to power itself through renewable sources of energy such as solar, wind and geothermal.

The motive is to produce the smallest ecological footprint as possible and this is achieved by generating the lowest quantity of pollution possible through recycling or converting of used materials/waste to energy. This is in addition to efficiently using land with an emphasis on nature and open green spaces.

To create a Sustainable City which works, the changes created must complement one another. For example, to reduce traffic pollution, private transport will be discouraged.

Public transport will be made more frequent and affordable while walking and cycling will become the de facto modes of transportation.

For this to work, citizens' homes will need to be within proximity to their workplace which makes walking or cycling very viable.

Sustainable Cities have four pillars; Eco-industrial parks, urban farming, urban infill and walkable urbanism.

1. Eco-industrial parks: This is an industrial park where businesses cooperate with each other to significantly lower the waste and pollution generated from their day to day activities as well as to effectively share resources such as materials, energy, water, infrastructure, information and natural resources. This type of industrial park is also known as an Industrial Symbiosis and this occurs when by-products of manufacturing such as steam or sludge is sold to another company for their use rather than being disposed or distributed into the environment. This is similar to a natural ecosystem where everything gets used/recycled.

2. Urban Farming: This is a process of growing and distributing food as well as raising animals in and around the city which is fully integrated into the urban landscape. Examples of urban farming would be ‘farmscrapers' where farms are created on the roof levels of skyscrapers and tended to by the citizen labourers.

Car parks can also be used as farms. With reduced private transports, multi storey car parks (also called vertical farms) provide an alternative. 3. Urban infill: This is a process whereby denser urban living is created. This brings more people out of the surrounding countryside into the cities to supplement the urban farming processes and sustainability. 4. Walkable urbanism: It is a development strategy which encourages housing for a diverse population with integrated purposes and walkable streets with ample positive public spaces.

Working hand in hand with the United Nation's Agenda 21 initiative, many new developments in Singapore are moving in the direction of eco-friendly homes. Even companies are in support of this movement such as JTC proposing to build a CleanTech Park.

The newly released Sky Habitat with its green balconies, naturally ventilated units and proximity to nature is one such initiative in integrating into an urban environment. The Vertical Garden at Marina Bay is an example of positive green spaces in Singapore.

There are also steps taken to provide integrated living where the development possesses not only residential units but inbuilt shopping malls or offices for work designed with the philosophy of ‘Live, Work and Play' in one area.

This is in line with creating walkable urbanism where travel time and usage of private transport is minimized greatly.

Proposed JTC CleanTech Park Already there are plans to implement sheltered cycling lanes when the sustainable cities initiative is in full swing to make travel easy and comfortable for the citizens. Re-education and public awareness programmes about recycling and reducing waste would also be implemented to convert all citizens into ‘green citizens'. Island wide recycling infrastructures are being considered as well to make recycling convenient and a daily part of living.

Food will be more organic with less meat. Expect meat to be tightly controlled and issued only on special days; for instance, on someone's birthday.

Current elements of a sustainable city has already been manifest through public transportation in Singapore. Bus stops are within walking distances and MRT stations are usually a short ride away.

Sustainable Cities seek to make it easy for people to travel from work to home and vice versa. This is executed by having homes and workplaces close to one another.

However, while it is a novel idea, the implementation is ambiguous. Are people going to be deliberately moved to be close to their workplaces or will they be allocated jobs that are close to their homes?

What is Phamplet?? Pamphlets and leaflets are two common types of print publications used in advertising. The core difference between a leaflet and a pamphlet is based on size. A pamphlet typically has five or more pages of company or production information, whereas a leaflet is one single page, similar to a flyer.

Size and Scope

Leaflets, pamphlets and similar types of print collateral are used to launch new companies or products, promote special events or attract attention from new customers. A leaflet is a quick-hitter, one-page piece that typically includes one or two key messages and often an image. It is printed on better quality paper than a flyer. A pamphlet is longer and provides a more thorough overview of your company and product or service benefits.

Placement

Leaflets offer a bit more flexibility in placement. Because they are on one page, you can post or hang a leaflet in a public place just as you would a flyer. You can also hand leaflets out to prospects or customers or send them in the mail. Posting pamphlets isn't practical since you need target customers to dig into the material. It is also more costly to mail the larger-sized pamphlet.

Attention or Education

Because of the message limitations, leaflets serve the purpose of getting attention or promoting a singular product or event. Pamphlets typically have a broader purpose of educating customers. An insurance company might use a pamphlet to provide prospects of an overview of various insurance products. Banks provide pamphlets that cover various types of checking and savings accounts or loan products. You can also provide a complete overview of your company, its mission and your philosophies.

Costs

The costs of print collateral are typically based on the volume and quality of the paper and use of color. Therefore, you could have an exceptionally high-quality leaflet with a higher cost than a small, lower quality pamphlet. Typically, though, a pamphlet is more expensive because of the size and amount of paper used. You also pay an employee or designer for development. It costs more to design a pamphlet than a leaflet because of the complexity and content.

Conclusion

At the first I though planning a city was very easy. You could not like your mind come out that idea then you going to built that city. You need to do is research about other city as reference to make sure your idea is work. Other than that, it is important to also ensure that residents of the city will have a high quality of life and suffer lesser problems.
