Urbanization can be planned or organic. Planned urbanization, i.e. new town or the garden city movement, is based on an advance plan, which can be prepared for aesthetic, economic or urban design reasons. Many ancient organic cities experienced redevelopment for military and economic purposes, new roads carved through the cities, and new parcels of land were cordoned off serving various planned purposes giving cities distinctive geometric. UN agencies prefer to see urban infrastructure installed before urbanization occurs. Urban planners are responsible for urban system and infrastructure (public parks, sustainable urban drainage systems, greenways etc.) which can be planned before urbanization takes place, or afterward to revitalized an area and create greater liveability within a region. Learning Objective 1. To build analytical and planning skills to solve urban system management problems. 2. To link theory and practice of the course concepts.

Year Taken: AY 19/20, Sem 2
Grade: 1st CA (B) | 2nd CA (A-) | Final (SU)
Grading components: 2 open-ended CAs, Final paperLecture based, no tutorial. This module is taught by 3 profs. First lecturer (majority of content) will teach you case studies of other countries URA & Singapore’s URA. Has a lot of content and super dry. Second lecturer (2 lectures) teaches about water management, more on CEE side, more science. Second prof has quizzes at the end to help with understanding.
Third lecturer (1 lecture) teaches about traffic management. Not sure whether the third lecturer was good at teaching or his content was easy but it was super easy to understand the concept while the rest were a far cry.Honestly, it is content-heavy but it is possible to score well. Ended up using my s/u as I had my cores to focus on and did not want to spend time studying for this.
