    Urban Planning

    Uploaded by

    Karla Amar
    Urban planning has evolved over centuries, from ancient Greek and Roman concepts to modern approaches. The Greeks saw the ideal city size as 10,000-20,000 people and used human scales and modules like the house. Romans emphasized political power and used proportion and rectangular/circular settlements. During the Renaissance, theorists developed ideas for ideal cities and urban design was used to rebuild places like Ferrara. In the 19th century, planners like Olmsted incorporated parks and green spaces, while Ebenezer Howard created the Garden City model with separated residential and industrial areas. Modern urban planning emerged in the 20th century, with architects like Le Corbusier and planners applying scientific analysis to issues like rapid urbanization.
