Document Summary
L09 - sustainable urban planning and design urban planning: future ideas and implementable practices for shaping land use and social processes in cities. 3 main fields of urban planning: land use planning: zoning, land development, transportation. Work with preset regulations to decide on land forms of the neighbourhood. A street is highly regulated: social planning: social services, programs, communities. Grew in popularity in 1960s after interest in civil rights, social programming, community services. Works with community groups to identify issues with that community & how to solve. Theory in practice in relation to local scale: environmental panning: sustainability, ecological restoration, park/green spaces. Think about social and ecological needs in that area. How to protect but also allow for social uses. Architects and engineers = historical planners, professional schools in 1930s. Planners become more important in relation to suburban expansion to plan more wisely as suburbanization is based on the separation of land uses.
