TEDxBrisbane 2011 - Paul Songhurst - One square metre at a time. GardenCity1. Garden City Model #1 | Garden City Model #2 Gudmundur Hannesson was a Professor of Medicine at the University of Iceland who developed the Icelandic interest in Garden City planning.
In his book, On Town Planning, he emphasized curved residential roads and the importance of low building heights which are better able to catch sunlight at high altitudes (as in Reykjavik). He built a strong case for continuous rows of low rise houses, instead of the traditional small detached houses which characterized Reykjavik at that time. E. HOWARD, GARDEN CITIES OF TO-MORROW.

Domesday Book (/ˈduːmzdeɪ/ or US /ˈdoʊmzdeɪ/; Latin: Liber de Wintonia)[1][2] is a manuscript record of the great survey, completed in 1086 on orders of William the Conqueror, of much of England and parts of Wales: "While spending the Christmas time of 1085 in Gloucester, William had deep speech with his counsellors and sent men all over England to each shire to find out what or how much each landholder had in land and livestock, and what it was worth" (Anglo-Saxon Chronicle).
In Latin (though highly abbreviated, and with some vernacular for native terms without Latin equivalent),[3] the survey's key purpose was to determine what taxes had been owing under Edward the Confessor. The assessors' reckoning of a man's holdings and their value, as given in the Book, was dispositive and without appeal, and thus the name Domesday Book (Middle English for Doomsday Book)[4] came into use in the 12th century.[4] As Richard FitzNigel wrote around 1179:[5] Content and organization[edit] Survey[edit]
Featured Quote: Jennifer Robinson on Comparative Urban Studies. "The very fact that cities exist in a world of other cities means that any attempt at a general or theoretical statement about cities either depends upon or invites comparative reflection.
What constitutes a city, how are cities organized, what happens in them, where are they going? — in a world of cities these and many other questions invoke a comparative gesture. The budding theorist finds herself asking of the many studies she reads from different parts of the world: are these processes the same in the city I know? Are they perhaps similar but for different reasons? Or are the issues that are being considered of limited relevance to pressing issues in the contexts I am familiar with?

Undue Subdivision of Land Prevention Act 1885. The Undue Subdivision of Land Prevention Act 1885 was a law passed by the Parliament of Queensland in that year to prevent overcrowding and urban degradation in cities and towns in Queensland, especially in Brisbane.
The law is a noteworthy example of early efforts by Australian legislators to control urban development and avoid the appearance of slums. While the Act made Brisbane and other Queensland cities a more attractive and less overcrowded place to live and raise families and allowed each household to grow a garden, it did have its disadvantages, the main one being that the resulting low population density made it more expensive to provide urban services such as sewerage, paving and street lighting. As a result, Brisbane was the last major city in Australia to be comprehensively sewered, and unpaved laneways were common in the inner city until the 1960s.

Decision Theory for Planners #110 Why a City Scales like an Elephant « Decisions, Decisions, Decisions. Geoffrey West the noted English physicist has studied scale for many years, moving from looking at physics, to biology to now cities and firms. “I’ve always wanted to find the rules that govern everything,”“It’s amazing that such rules exist. It’s even more amazing that we can find them.” “We spend all this time thinking about cities in terms of their local details, their restaurants and museums and weather,”“I had this hunch that there was something more, that every city was also shaped by a set of hidden laws.”
West took an idea from biology, Kleiber’s scaling law, and tried to explain it. This looks at how the metabolism of a creature changes with size. This seemed to describe a certain increasing return to scale about physical phenomenon. West looked at whether this applied to cities, gathering massive amounts of information with his co-worker Luis Bettencourt. They found massive economies of scale in settlements, just as in big animals. Writings on Cities - Henri Lefebvre. High-Income World: Core Cities and Densification.

“Like a huge, dynamic mass of gridded patches and structureless emulsions of masonry, asphalt, cars and people, the colossus sprawls across the endless plateau and gobbles its way through the dark green forest, leaving little reddish spots behind. The new developments and the mutations follow the logic of land speculation and are driven by instantaneous impulses such as a randomly placed new factory or an equally randomly placed favela. Admittedly, the ring of motorways around and through the center, together with the railways and two rivers, form a bundle of infrastructure that allows us a distant panorama, and the built-up area occasionally follows an undulation of the landscape, but ultimately these nuances vanish amid the hugeness and chaos of the whole.

Does it matter how we define cities, or is definition just a sterile typological exercise? Definition is crucial for comparison.

Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts relating to the uniformity in a substance. A material that is homogeneous is uniform in composition or character; one that is heterogeneous is distinctly nonuniform in one of these qualities.[1][2][3] The words homogeneous and heterogeneous come from Medieval Latin homogeneus and heterogeneus, from Ancient Greek ὁμογενής (homogenēs) and ἑτερογενής (heterogenēs), from ὁμός (homos, “same”) and ἕτερος (heteros, “other, another, different”) respectively, followed by γένος (genos, “kind”); -ous is an adjectival suffix.
