Urban From and Locality
- Dispersal versus concentration
- High versus low density
- Segregated versus integrated land use patterns
- Nucleated versus linear form
Are the four kinds
of spatial form and locality which were studied and critic to discover the best
strategy of the urban form to develop the social infrastructure and get into
the modern city.
"Much of the academic discourse is driven by concern for global warming and the desire to reduce transport emissions. To that is added, in the political sphere, the issues of housing forecasts and greenfield protection. The discussion both academic and political is predominantly on the strategic plane. Small-area policy issues are side-line. So the purpose of the chapter is first to reorientate the strategic questions towards locality, and second, give due weight to non-transport issues."page 105
I can see the
author cite the imperfection of each urban form and then come up with remarkable
composition of “compact city” model and “dispersed contraction” model which
would be the greatest planning strategy because of the high quality of fluid
urban function development.
In this
spatial form all nodes should collaborate with together to respond the various
function of the city, as result people need to travel less into the city. The concentration
along the connection between nodes would serve the entertainment zones and the
area between central and nodes could use for farming in order to achieve self-sufficiency.
To me, this
plan is very careful about time consumption, quality of living, reliability of
transportation to decrease the energy consumption and traffic to attain their
inspire sustainability and economic growth. However all of them are some beautiful
theories which should go beyond the idea and get practical to find their
failure precisely.
