Introductory essay

Written by the educators who created Ecofying Cities, a brief look at the key facts, tough questions and big ideas in their field. Begin this TED Study with a fascinating read that gives context and clarity to the material.

Right now, our economy operates as Paul Hawken said, "by stealing the future, selling it in the present and calling it GDP." And if we have another eight billion or seven billion people, living on a planet where their cities also steal the future, we're going to run out of future really fast. But if we think differently, I think that, in fact, we can have cities that are not only zero emissions, but have unlimited possibilities as well. Alex Steffen

The urgency of urban planning today

Within a few decades' time, we can expect the planet to become more crowded, resources more precious, and innovative urban planners increasingly important. By midcentury, the global population will likely top nine billion, and more than half will live in cities. What will these cities look like? Will we have the resources to power them and comfortably provide for their residents? Will global urbanization harmonize with efforts to curb climate change and secure a sustainable future, or are these forces hurtling towards a head-on collision?

The TED speakers featured in Ecofying Cities underscore the urgency, but also suggest that some optimism's in order as they outline the issues and offer imaginative solutions.

There's no single reason for or response to the complex environmental, economic and social challenges that are part of our future in cities. They call for multiple approaches, originating from different sources — individuals, communities, governments, businesses — and deployed at different levels — in the home, the neighborhood, the city, region, nation and across the globe — to respond to the challenges at hand. As Alex Steffen reminds the urban planners, architects, designers, elected leaders and others involved in the effort, "All those cities are opportunities."

Urbanism and the environment: A brief history

For centuries, successful city-building has required careful attention to the environmental consequences of urban development. Without this, as Jared Diamond demonstrated in Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed , a city inevitably ended up fouling its nest, thus entering a spiral of epidemics, economic hardship, decline and, ultimately, oblivion. Civilizations evolved different ways of dealing with environmental considerations — some with more success than others. For example, thanks to elaborate aqueducts and sewer systems, the Romans were able to build and sustain for centuries large cities that featured a reliable public water supply and state-of-the-art public health conditions.

In other civilizations, however, residents simply abandoned cities when they could no longer rely on their environment to supply the resources they needed. Often this was a direct result of their own activities: for example, deforestation and the attendant erosion of fertile soil, epidemics due to contaminated water and, with the advent of coal-fired industrialization, air pollution.

Urban planning got its start as a profession largely dedicated to averting different types of crises arising from urban growth and providing conditions for public health. This was particularly true in the many 19th century European and North American cities transformed by industrialization and unprecedented rates of population growth. Rapidly deteriorating air and water quality made it necessary to introduce regulations to protect the health of the residents of these cities.

The planners' first-generation improvements included sewers, water treatment and distribution, and improved air quality through building codes and increased urban green space. It's especially remarkable today to think that these interventions were adopted in response to observable health consequences, but without knowledge of the contamination mechanisms at work: germ theory didn't arrive on the scene until Louis Pasteur published his work in the 1860s. From the late 19th century onward Pasteur's findings bolstered the case for even more urban sanitation improvements, particularly those designed to improve water quality.

Starting in the 1950s, however, planners no longer narrowly targeted immediate health effects on urban residents as their chief environmental concern. Their work also absorbed and reflected Western society's deeper understanding of, and respect for, natural processes and growing awareness of the long-term environmental impacts of cities from the local to the planetary scale.

Rachel Carson is often credited as the first to popularize environmentalism. Published in 1962, her landmark book Silent Spring sounded a warning call about how pesticides endanger birds and entire ecological systems. Soon after, air pollution became a rallying point for environmentalists, as did the loss of large tracks of rural and natural land to accelerated, sprawling development. Today, sustainable development and smart growth, which largely overlap and address multiple environmental considerations, enjoy wide currency; most urban planning is now based on these principles.

Today, as we reckon with population growth, advancing rates of urbanization, and widespread recognition of climate change, we know that the cities of the future share a common destiny. The choices we make about how we build, inhabit and maintain these cities will have global and long-term effects.

Sustainable development: Two schools of thought

In modern urban planning, there are two general categories of sustainable development. The first doesn't challenge the present dynamics of the city, allowing them to remain largely low-density and automobile-oriented, but still makes them the object of measures aimed to reduce their environmental load (for example, green construction practices). Ian McHarg spearheaded this approach as a way to develop urban areas in harmony with natural systems; the planning principles he formulated gave special care to the preservation of water and green space. His lasting influence is visible in many of the more enlightened suburban developments of recent decades which respect the integrity of natural systems. Today, the Landscape Urbanism movement promotes these same ideas.

A second school of urban development focuses on increasing urban density and reducing reliance on the automobile. This approach advocates transit-oriented and mixed-use development along pedestrian-friendly "complete streets." On a regional scale, it aims to reduce sprawl by creating a network of higher-density multifunctional centers interconnected by public transit. Today, it's common for plans with a metropolitan scope to follow this approach.

Studying the city: About these materials

Cities are arguably the most complex human creation (with the possible exception of language) so it's not surprising that we study them at multiple scales and from diverse perspectives. We can approach cities through a narrow focus on an individual building or a neighborhood, expand the investigation to consider a metropolitan region in its entirety, or study the global system of cities and its interconnections. What's more, we can think about cities as built environments, social networks, modified ecologies, economic systems and political entities. Aware of the multiple ways that we engage with cities, the Romans had two words to refer to them: urbs referred to the physical city with its wall and buildings, and civitas , the city as a collection of residents.

Ecofying Cities explores urban areas at different scales. In some cases, the TED speaker focuses on a neighborhood project, like The High Line in Manhattan; others describe city-wide transformation, as in Curitiba, Brazil, or a regional or national initiative like China's plan for a network of eco-cities to house its growing urban population. Likewise, the talks explore cities from different disciplinary perspectives including urban planning, urban design, transportation planning, architecture, community organization and environmental science. What unites them all? A commitment to sustainability and a belief that sustainability is more about creating positive effects rather than reducing negative impacts.

The message emanating from Ecofying Cities is one of complexity, optimism and uncertainty. We can't be sure that the changes these speakers suggest will be enough to help us balance supply and demand in the sustainability equation. But we can expect that their ideas and efforts will improve the built environment — as well as quality of life — in cities, thereby providing hopeful perspectives for a sustainable future.

Let´s begin with writer and futurist Alex Steffen´s TEDTalk "The Sharable Future of Cities" for a look at the interplay between increasing urban density and energy consumption.

Urban Planning in a Global Context – PowerPoint Presentation by a Sustainable Community Development Specialist

Nathan Zook and James Furgol

Introduction

You are a part of a global effort to increase access to education and empower students through “open pedagogy.”  Open pedagogy is a “free access” educational practice that places you – the student – at the center of your own learning process in a more engaging, collaborative learning environment.  The ultimate purpose of this effort is to achieve greater social justice in our community in which the work can be freely shared with the broader community.  This is a renewable assignment that is designed to enable you to become an agent of change in your community through the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  For this work, you will integrate the disciplines of Political Science and History to achieve SDG #11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.   

Learning Objectives

You will become a community development specialist.

Purpose/Rationale

This active learning practice is designed to improve your academic skills, increase community connections, and improve social justice for our community.

Instructions

You will become a community development specialist.  Choose a neighborhood in Maryland or the District of Columbia.  Using US census data, property tax databases, and local historical archives, trace the economic and/or cultural changes that have occurred over the past several decades.  Try to find official demographic data related to variables such as education levels, income levels, ethnic identity, home ownership, etc.  In addition, interview at least 5 individuals who have lived in the neighborhood for more than 10 years and at least 5 individuals who have lived in the neighborhood for less than 2 years.  Use Google Earth along with photos you have taken and tables/graphs you have created to produce a PowerPoint presentation to be given in class regarding the changes.  Feel free to include video footage of your interviewees (with their permission).  Discuss how the neighborhood “developed” or changed during this time-frame.  What are the costs/benefits of these changes for various stakeholders in the community?  To what degree is continued development sustainable or problematic?  Finally, based on your analysis, make recommendations for sustainable development in this community.  What institutions or continued changes would be optimal for this neighborhood and its current residents?  What changes should be avoided?  After your classroom PowerPoint presentation has been graded, you may be asked to present this at community or academic events (with your permission) to highlight the interconnection between academic research and sustainable communities.

Format Requirements

Additional Expectations

• A list of interviewees with a description of their life in the neighborhood should be submitted
• A list of citations including scholarly sources, databases, archival sources, data websites, etc. should also be submitted
• The classroom PowerPoint presentation should include a minimum of 7 slides and be within the 8-10 minute range
• The presentation should be divided into three roughly equal sections.  Please give equal time to each of the following:
• description of the neighborhood changes
• assessment of the costs/benefits of development
• recommendations for future sustainable development in the community

Urban Planning TDJ3M/4M1 Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

URBAN PLANNING • Urban, city, and town planning are the disciplines of land use planning. • These explore a very wide range of aspects of the built and social environments of urbanized municipalities and communities. Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Topics of Discussion • An Historical Look • Aspects of Planning • Sustainable Development & Sustainability Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…The Far East • Urban planning as an organized profession has existed for less than a century • However, most settlements and cities reflect various degrees of forethought and conscious design in their layout and functioning. • The Pre-Classical and Classical ages saw a number of cities laid out according to fixed plans, though many tended to develop organically Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…The Far East • Designed cities were characteristic of the totalitarian Mesopotamian, Harrapan, and Egyptian civilizations of the third millennium BCE. • Often paved and in a grid pattern, the streets of early cities such as Harappa, Mohenjo-daro (of modern day Pakistan and India) are perhaps the earliest examples of deliberately planned and managed cities. • Also included were a hierarchy of streets from major boulevards to residential alleys. Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…The Far East • Archaeological evidence suggests that many Harrapan houses were laid out to protect residence from noise and enhance residential privacy. • They often had their own water wells, most likely for both sanitary and ritual purposes. Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…the Greeks • The Greek, Hippodamus (c. 407 BC) is considered the father of city plan- ning for his design of Miletus. • Alexander commissioned him to lay out his new city of Alexandria, the grandest example of idealized urban planning of the Mediterranean world. • His plans of Greek cities were characterized by order and regularity in contrast to the more intricacy and confusion common to cities of that period, even Athens. • He is seen as the originator of the idea that a town plan might formally embody and clarify a rational social order. Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…the Greeks • The arrangement of private dwellings is considered to be more pleasant and more convenient for other purposes if it is regularly planned, both according to the newer and according to the Hippodamian manner; but for security in war [the arrangement is more useful if it is planned in] the opposite [manner], as it used to be in ancient times. For that [arrangement] is difficult for foreign troops to enter and find their way about when attacking. Aristotle Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…the Romans • The ancient Romans used a consolidated scheme for city planning, developed for military defense and civil convenience. • The basic plan is a central forum with city services, surrounded by a compact rectilinear grid of streets and wrapped in a wall for defense. • To reduce travel times, two diagonal streets cross the squared grid corner-to-corner, passing through the central square Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…the Romans • A river usually flowed through the city, to provide water, transport, and sewage disposal. • You can still find many European towns, such as Turin, preserving the essence of these schemes. • All roads were made of carefully fitted stones filled with smaller hard-packed stones. • The city was surrounded by a wall to protect the city from invaders and other enemies, and to define the city limits. Outside the wall was farmland. Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…the Romans • At the end of each main road, there would be a large gateway with watchtowers and a portcullis to cover the opening when the city was under siege. • A water aqueduct was build outside of the city’s walls. Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history… • The collapse of Roman civilizations saw the end of their urban planning, among many other arts. • Urban development in the Middle Ages, characteristically focused on a fortress or a fortified abbey, occurred “like annular rings of a tree” whether in an extended village or the center of a larger city. Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…the Middle Ages • Since the new center was often on high, defensible ground, the city plan took on an organic character, following the irregularities of elevation contours, like the shapes that result from agricultural terracing. • A few medieval cities were admired for their wide thoroughfares and other orderly arrangements, but the judicial chaos of medieval cities prevented frequent or large-scale urban planning until the Renaissance. Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…the Renaissance • The city of Florence was an early model of the new urban plan, which rearranged itself into a star-shaped layout adapted from the new star fort, deigned to resist cannon fire. • This model was widely imitated, which reflects the enormous cultural power of Florence of that time. Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…the Renaissance • The star-shaped city plan, known as the “Sforzinda” had radial streets extending outward from a defined center of military, communal or spiritual power. • Outside of the city, the industrial suburbs remained disorderly and characterized by crowded conditions and organic growth. • The Italian town of Todi, was voted to be an ideal city and”most livable town in the world” by students of the University of Kentucky in 1990. • Other examples of planned cities in Italy are: Urbino, Pienza, Ferrara, San Giovanni Valdarno, and San Lorenzo Nuovo. Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Todi, Itlay Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…the Last 200 Years • The industrialized city of the 19th century: where control of building was largely helped by businesses and the wealthy elite. • Around 1900, a movement began providing citizens, particularly factory workers, with healthier living environments. This gave birth to the concept of “garden cities”. • The world’s first garden city was in Letchworth and Welwyn Garden City, both of Hertfordshire, UK. • These cities were principally small scale in size, typically dealing with only a few thousand residents. Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…The Last 200 Years • In the 1920s, Modernism began to surface. • Based on the ideas of Le Corbusier and utilizing new skyscraper building techniques, the modernist city stood for the elimination of disorder, congestions, and the small scale. • Replacing them instead with preplanned and widely spaced freeways and tower blocks set within gardens. • There were plans for large scale rebuilding of cities, such as the proposal to clear and rebuild most of central Paris. Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…the Last 200 Years • No large-scale plans were implemented until after WWII. • Housing shortages in the late 40s and 50s were caused by war destruction, led many cities around the work to build substantial amount of government-subsidized housing blocks. • Planners at the time used the opportunity to implement the modernist ideal of towers surrounded by gardens. The most prominent example of an entire modernist city is Brasilia, constructed between 1959 and 1960 in Brazil. Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…the Last 200 Years • By the late 60s and 70s, many planners began to realize that the implementation of modernist clean lines and lack of human scale also tended to deplete vitality from the community. • This was “expressed” by high crime and social problems within many of these planned neighbourhoods. • In the 1970s, Modernism ended, and since then many of these tower blocks have been demolished and conventional housing has been built in its place. Developed by K. Milne for TDJ4M1

Looking back at history…Today • Rather than attempting to eliminate all disorder, planning now concentrates on individualism and diversity in society and the economy. • This is the Post-Modernist era. • Minimally-planned cities still exist today—Houston is an example of a large city in a developed country, without a comprehensive zoning ordinance • Houston voters have rejected proposals for a comprehensive zoning ordinance three times since 1948.

Developing a Guide to Urban Planning Interventions

Credit: The Healthy Neighborhoods Study

What is “good” urban planning? Asked another way, how do we measure and judge the progress of the professional field of urban planning? Often the focus of “good” planning is centered on a balance of outcomes, stakeholder interests, and diverse actors. This interdisciplinary approach with myriad goals translates to a lack of universal standards to assess and iterate upon the planning process. Worse yet, this broad approach can produce outcomes counter to public interest and perpetuate systemic power imbalances. In a new paper for the Journal of Planning Literature , a group of researchers ask: Rather than simply satisfy engaged stakeholders, what then should be planners’ central charge?

“Health equity should act as a north star for urban planning because it provides a good measure of what constitutes ‘just’ planning and because it is responsive to and dependent on planning activities,” said Shin Bin Tan, an Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore and lead author of the paper. “To actively follow this north star, planning researchers and professionals need a practical roadmap. Our paper offers a pathway to utilize the strengths of planning to design interventions to advance health equity and construct a more robust metric for evaluating the success of interventions.”

In addition to Tan (MCP ‘17, PhD ‘21) authors of the paper include: Andrew Binet (MCP ‘15, PhD ‘21) as well as J. Phillip Thompson and Mariana Arcaya. Tan’s research focuses on how built environment interventions and public policy can improve social and health equity. Binet, an Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia, is especially interested in understanding how urban environments shape our health and the relationships of care that sustain us, and how social and community planning can be tools for responding to the contemporary crisis of care and achieving health equity.

Adapting stormwater management to extreme weather requires innovation, professor says

Cities around the world are using natural solutions to absorb flooding.

To prevent extreme rainfall, flooding and other severe weather from causing major damage, urban planning efforts should take a more comprehensive approach, according to a March 29 presentation by The Ohio State University’s Center for Urban Research and Analysis and the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center .

During the presentation, Chris Zevenbergen, a professor of flood resilience at the Delft University of Technology in Delft, Netherlands, outlined strategies that integrate traditional stormwater management with innovative solutions that complement the natural environment.   

“ In the past 15 years, he’s accumulated an extensive national and international experience with integrated approaches to flood management in urban environments,” Jason Cervenec, education and outreach director for the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center, said of Zevenbergen .

Several cities around the world have begun adopting the Three Points Approach (3PA) to stormwater management, Zevenbergen said. The 3PA divides stormwater management into three domains: the design domain, extreme domain and everyday domain.

The extreme domain addresses how municipalities and other government entities respond to severe weather events, including planning for the potential failure of traditional stormwater infrastructure.

“We take into account our design failure, then we build in flexibility through nature-based solutions,” Zevenbergen said .

The everyday domain addresses how municipalities approach water management when there is little or no rain. Rather than the traditional approach in which water management systems are administered separately by various government agencies, the 3PA approach integrates city, regional and river-basin management into one system, Zevenbergen said.

“Cities have to look beyond the city boundaries and have to reach out to the provinces [or county and state governments] and the national government to really align the strategies,” he said. “Managing extremes means managing the systems as a whole. Cities are becoming part of our national policies regarding water management.”

Zevenbergen cited the city of Philadelphia’s Green Stormwater Infrastructure plan, which manages stormwater runoff with nature-based solutions such as plants, soil and stone to reduce the amount of water that enters sewer systems while protecting rivers and streams. The plan is administered at the city level following state and federal regulations.

In Ohio, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency encourages businesses, organizations and individuals to prevent excess stormwater runoff with practices such as using rain barrels or planting rain gardens to absorb excess rainfall and controlling soil erosion by placing additional soil on erosion-prone areas, according to the agency’s website.   

Nature-based solutions to stormwater management have been implemented across the United States and Europe for many years, Zevenbergen said.

“What I think is new is the scale on which this is happening,” he said. “T his requires, on the one hand, a vision to imagine an appealing future of the city  ̶  and it should be a collective imagination  ̶  but it also requires policies in place to make this happen.”

A European city that is using the 3PA strategy is Copenhagen, Denmark, Zevenbergen said . Copenhagen’s Cloudburst Management Plan is a citywide strategy for dealing with extreme rainfall events. Copenhagen drafted the plan after a 1,000-year storm on July 2, 2011, left the city under 3 feet of water and caused an estimated $1 billion in damage, according to the Urban Government Atlas, an online database of environmental solutions.

The Cloudburst plan comprises 300 projects, with nature-based solutions such as constructing new canals and developing more green spaces that can absorb water.

“Of course, those projects cannot be implemented overnight,” Zevenbergen said. “ They are really embedded in a strategy which will be implemented within, say, 30 to 50 years’ time.”

Adapting stormwater management systems to withstand extreme weather events more effectively will require multipronged, decades-long efforts and collaboration between the public and private sectors, Zevenbergen said.    

“There are no single measures. There is no silver bullet,” he said. “You have to use a portfolio, a raft of measures to really make a system resilient.”

Zevenbergen’s talk was part of a series this spring presented by CURA and the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center featuring research by international scholars and practitioners. For information about upcoming events, visit CURA’s website .
