    WHAT IS TOWN?

    A built-up area with a name, defined boundaries, and local


    government, that is larger than a village and generally smaller
    than a city.
    WHAT IS CITY?

    or village ·
    WHAT IS TOWN PLANNING?

    Town Planning is “the determining and drawing up plans for


    the future physical arrangement and condition of a
    community or the comprehensive planning of the physical
    and social development of a town.”
    According to John T. Howard, “Town planning is the
    guidance of the growth and change of urban areas. As such, it
    is aimed at fulfilling social and economic objectives which go
    beyond in physical form, and arrangement of buildings,
    streets, parks, utilities and other patterns of urban
    development”.
    DIFFERENT THEORIES OF TOWN PLANNING

    1. HIERARCHY OF TOWN PLANNING

    The theory was first developed by the German geographer


    Walter Christaller in 1933 Central place theory is a spatial
    theory in urban geography that attempts to explain the
    reasons behind the distribution patterns, size, and number of
    cities and towns around the world.

    2. EBENEZER HOWARD'S THREE MAGNETS

    The diagram summarises the


    political, economic, and social
    context underlying Howard’s
    utopian vision for the future of
    British settlement via three
    illustrated magnets. One magnet
    lists the advantages and
    disadvantages of town life and
    another is accompanied by the
    positives and negatives of country life. The third magnet
    communicates Howard’s proposal of a Town-Country.
    3. MULTIPLE NUCLEI MODEL

    The multiple nuclei


    model is an
    economical model
    created by Chauncy
    Harris and Edward
    Ullman in the 1945
    article "The Nature of
    Cities"

    4. CORE FRAME MODEL 

    The Core frame model is a model showing the urban structure


    of the Central Business District of a town or city.

    DIFFERENT THEORIES OF TOWN PLANNING

    4. CORE FRAME MODEL 


    The model was first suggested by Ronald R. Boyce and Edgar M.
    Horwood in 1959. The model includes an inner core where land
    is expensive and used intensively, resulting in vertical
    development. This area is the focus of the transport system and
    has a concentrated daytime population. The outer core and
    frame have lower land values and are less intensively
    developed.

    5. NEIGHBORHOOD UNIT DESIGN

     The concept of the


    neighbourhood unit in 1900s
    by Clarence Perry, is an early
    diagrammatic planning model
    for residential development in
    metropolitan areas. It was
    attempting to design
    functional, self-contained and
    desirable neighbourhoods in
    the early 20th century in
    industrialising cities.

    4. GROWTH POLE MODEL

    The fundamental concept of growth poles is that they exploit


    agglomeration economies and spill over effects to spread
    resulting prosperity from the core of the pole to the periphery.
    At the basis of this theory is the assumption that economic
    development is not uniform over a region.
    The growth pole model is based on following postulates:
    1. Concept of economic space
    2. Concept of a leading industry
    3. Concept of the propulsive firm
    4. Concept of polarisation
    5. Concept of linkages
    6. Concept of Agglomeration
