Urban Planning & Urban Planners
Urban planning, or also referred to as urban development, consists of the formal planning process in which urban area designed to meet both the present and future challenges that are present in city life. They consider the relationship between the built environment and human behaviors or quality of life (Handy, Boarnet, Ewing, & Killingsworth, 2002). An urban planner, sometimes called a city planner, can assist community leaders in analyzing trends in order to decide how to best use public resources to meet various objectives. Some of the issues that are commonly addressed by an urban planner might include city growth planning, urban decay, environmental issues, social issues such as poverty and crime, and many more. By studying these issues, researchers attempt to understand the factors that make cities both livable and enjoyable. This research is also used to implement plans and policies by which positive urban…...

Urban Planning and Historic Preservation of Landmarks
In recent years, the preservation of history has continued to develop and some say has matured. Historical preservation now assumes a real part in how property development takes place in communities throughout the country. The National Historic Preservation Act and other preservation statutes have a strong impact not only on how the government deals with its own undertakings, but also on how elected officers license and fund projects and planning by private, state, and neighborhood organizations. ecently, there have been several research studies addressing examples of notable preservation and their success by a leading urban market analyst, Edward Glaeser, and by the engineer em Koolhaas. Glaeser is a financial specialist who is an authority in urban advancement. While he concedes that preservation has value, he argues in his book "Triumph of the City" and in a recent article, "Preservation Follies," that noteworthy preservation may…...

The only major change that has occurred is the fact that there are so many more people now, urban planning is all the more important (Jackson, 1985, p. 76).
Getting in our time machine and hurtling towards the present, urban planning in the United States began to gain momentum in the middle of the last century as the great housing boom that followed the Second World War began to eat up what had been rural land for centuries. Suburbs began to double and then double again in size like radioactive mushrooms. Commuting on newly land freeways became more and more a part of people's lives (Wheeler, 1995, p. 71). Some of these changes were generally welcome (the large backyards of the suburbs) and some were definitely less welcome (those long commutes).

One thing that was clear during the 1950s and into the 1960s was that cities were being systemically changed as…...

Water Standards Issues in Urban Planning
The objective of this work in writing is to develop and articulate persuasive research-oriented arguments related to planning practice. This work will define the problem, present theories and cases, summarize, and highlight the salient points from those theories and cases that are found to formulate a plausible solution to the problem.

The planning process for urban runoff urban water standards must be based on regulations that make a requirement of specific programs relating to approaches in planning. Different regulations make a requirement of different approaches in planning. The planning process addressed in this work is that of watershed management and this specific planning process requires the following:

(1) egulatory Basis -- SOWA

(2) Determining Existing Conditions -- Development of Watershed Description

(3) Quantifying pollution sources and water resource impacts -- identification of detrimental characteristics;

(4) Assessment of alternatives -- conduction of risk assessment; and (5) Development and implementation of recommended…...

According to von Franz, men need to participate in the liberation of women and therefore of society as a whole through the process of identifying and valuing the feminine qualities of their own nature. (Post-Jungian psychology follows Jung in dividing male and female attribute into a traditional Western dichotomy of animus and anima.) This story recounts the lengthy quests and adventure of a oman youth who is transformed into an ass, through which he loses access to an uncomplicated relationship to his own humanity. He is only able to reclaim his humanity when he recognizes that he must release traditional virtues and strengths, an accomplishment that he obtains through acceptance into the mysteries of Isis.
Much of what post-Jungian therapeutic approaches to clinical work offers is a chance for clients to engage with and resolve conflicts between opposing aspects of their nature, such as the feminine and masculine attributes that…...

Case Study: Ethics in Urban PlanningINTRODUCTION TO WACHS (1989) ARTICLEThe article "When Planners Lie with Numbers" by Martin Wachs discusses the conflict that planners typically face when confronted with data: on the one hand they must be scientists who deal carefully with data; on the other hand, they must be advocates because planning so often involves politics. This conflicted approach to data means that planners are tasked with adjusting data to fit political aims at times. The problem with this, of course, is that ethical principles surrounding the use of data and statistics in the field of planning would have it that all data be dealt with honestly and apolitically. The reality is that planning cannot and does not take place outside of politics. And that is why, as Wachs (1989) explains, the very code of ethics used by planners is seems to embody the conflict (p. 477). The author…...

Urban Planning Development and TheoriesUrban planning theories have been used for centuries in the U.S. to help cities develop and grow. Two prominent theories that have been used are the Garden City Movement and the New Urbanism.The Garden City Movement was first proposed by Ebenezer Howard in 1898 (Pandey, 2022). The movement focuses on providing a sustainable, safe, and aesthetically pleasing urban environment. It proposes building cities in a rural setting, with a population of 30,000 to 50,000, which are surrounded by greenbelts. The city is divided into districts, with each district having its own set of public services, while all being connected to a central core. The private land within each district is devoted to industrial and residential use, with parks and gardens added in between.New Urbanism is a more recent movement compared to the Garden City Movement, which began in the 1980s (Askarizad et al., 2021). It focuses…...

Social Issues in Public Planning a.
Public planning is an important aspect that defines how services are delivered in any given society. The different approaches to planning dictate the motivation behind a planner’s work and how he or she executives the planning two examples of the planning styles include the planner as an advocate and the planner as a neutral servant. There are several differences as well as the similarity between these two approaches to planning. The major difference between the two planners is that no other external forces in the course of his work rather than his expertise only influence the planner as a neutral public servant. However, the planner as an advocate stands for a particular ideology, fact or political affiliation among other external factors that drive his planning profession and motivates the approach that he takes.
Subsequently, the planner as advocate carries out his work to conform to a particular…...

Case Study: Historical Context of American Urban PlanningIntroductionThe American urban planning movement grew out of 19th century desire of aristocrats to improve their surroundings (Stormann, 1991). One of the earliest movements was the \\\"City Beautiful\\\" movement of the 1890s, which sought to design cities with aesthetically pleasing spaces and promote civic pride. This movement peaked in the early 20th century and left a legacy of urban parks and public monuments throughout the United States. A second influential movement was the \\\"adiant City\\\" movement, which emerged in the 1930s. This movement was founded by the Swiss-born architect Le Corbusier, who argued for a more rational approach to city planning. He proposed replacing traditional city layouts with grids of skyscrapers and parks, with more efficient transportation systems connecting them. His futuristic vision was greatly influential in the United States and Europe, but it also had its critics. Many urban planners argued that…...

economy is in a state of recovery from the great recession. One of the key implications of this economic recovery for urban planning encompasses the decline in unemployment rate. Between 2010 and 2016, the unemployment rate has significantly declined from about 10% to the prevailing rate of 4.9% (Bureau of Labor Statistics). However, it is imperative to note that a great deal of employment opportunities are in major cities such as California, ashington, Florida, Texas and Pennsylvania. Fifty percent of new business establishments across the nation evolved in only 20 major urban counties (Florida). This implies that such urban places are bound to experience an increase in population from skilled workers. In turn, this will cripple the other areas. Considering this, there are also implications for economic policy, governmental budgets and local and state governments. In particular, the local and state governments should apportion and channel government budgets to…...

Urban Planning Code of EthicsA professional code of ethics is necessary in the urban planning profession as it sets standards for professional behavior and guides planning decisions for adherence to the laws and regulations set forth by governmental organizations (Weatherly, 2021). Planners must strive to use ethical decision-making when addressing issues of social justice, economic opportunity, and environmental sustainability.As a planner, a violation of this code of ethics would be an act of negligence or incompetence that fails to consider the publics well-being (Bonakdar & Audirac, 2020). For example, one code of ethics violation on planning ethics is bribery where a planner takes money or other favors in exchange for an unfair advantage. This violates the Biblical command Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous (Deuteronomy 16:19). Bribery is a serious offence, as it goes against Gods will.…...

Urban Area
Globalization has created a profound impact on society. Through globalization, emerging markets continue to grow and develop. New and innovative products are created that provide solutions to societal problems. As such, wealth is created that is distributed to nations that provide services to humanity. As wealth is distributed, urban areas are created and cultivated. These cities, over time, become populated with the new inhabitants, and continue to thrive. The development of cities and urban areas correlates directly with economic growth and development. With an economic system that continues to innovate, produce product and provide jobs, urban areas cannot be properly developed. The documentary, Urbanized is a testament to the merits of a market economy and how the city of the future may be fundamentally different from the city of today (Kolb, 1972).

The three necessities of life, food, shelter, and clothing, will always remain fundamental for all world citizens. Food sources will shift scope from the factory farm model in place today to smaller-scale organic farms. Smaller in scale but larger in number, farms will also rely less on long-distance transportation for delivery of goods, which will reduce stress on the environment. Housing will also evolve into a more ecologically-conscious industry with emphases on sustainable building materials and efficient heating, cooling, and lighting systems. Finally, all industries including clothing will be regulated not necessarily by corrupt governments but by local watchdog organizations to ensure living wages, healthy working conditions, and quality goods and services.

Urban Data eview
eades et al. (2007) presented some interesting ideas about the use of data collection and its practical application in an urban setting. The authors discussed spatiotemporal data as a new object of desire for those wishing to control and understand human behavior in large city. The authors called for a synthesis of data information from all available sources, including telecommunications companies to assist in urban planning and understanding the complex and chaotic idea of urban dynamics.

This paper discussed this topic by explaining the details of a study conducted by MIT and Telecom Italia (TI), in ome, Italy's largest city. TI supplied data that recognized bandwidth usage on mobile phones and classified them as Erlongs. The data was collected, synthesized and modeled to help paint a picture of how ome operates and how people move about and communicate. Ultimately, the paper concluded that "Our preliminary findings suggest that signature…...
