TOWN PLAN

This chapter developes the idea of urban design whose foundation was based on civic design from the end of 20th century. Urban design it self was come across by a number of  authors in their publications, such as Charles M. robinson in his book  "The improvement of cities and towns, or the practical basis of civic aesthetics in 1903.
Reasons not to,and reasons to do anyway:
it highlights that in terms of reusing the old styles of urban design, it is important for planners to consider any particular characteristics of a surrounding area or region.. this is because each region or area has specific characteristic of its environment, its physical aspect and also demographic facets. by doing so, it help the planners to avoid the wasteful alocation of new infrastructure.Here  the planners or designers are suppossed to address the existing social and evironment issues within a specific region instead of focussing on creating a new region.In order to do this, planners or designers should work hard to ensure that the new development in the fringe of the urban , should be environmentally sound, economically efficient, and sociallly just. The chapter also describes that in creating any development criteria, regional consideration should be included. This is because in the current development , there is more random disposition of resources rather than the geographical approach.
In designing the urban, it is also  important for designer and planners to consider the mix use of development approach as the current existing urban issue is that urban sprawl. therefore in order to address sprawl , mixed use development is appropriate. Moreover, there is also another approach that can be used by designers or planners to address the disconnectivity of urban that is, increasing connectivity.. Connectivity in terms of using the  highways and arterials approaching neigbourhood so it can cover and connect weel the neigbourhoods and towns. By doing so,, it will also make the urban transit work better.
