The (Brief) History of Urban Planning

While the profession of urban planning is somewhat recent in history, the practices of planning go all the way to the ancient times. When we think of urban planning, we think of planning as the idea of where and how we grow. In this video, I briefly go over the history of urban planning from its origins of walled cities in Mesopotamia to the present day suburb.

Planning is a dynamic and ever changing field, and a vital profession in shaping the communities in which we live.

Driving me mad that the audio on this video is only playing out of one headphone speaker and not both.

Maybe you should dedicate a video on the dutch city of Amsterdam, a very strong and early example of succesfull city planning.

👍. Thought your Vid was a Good Beginning on a Really Interesting Social/ Economic And Cultural Discussion On City Planning. But.... “ Room “ in between EXISTING CITIES? For Better Planned Ones? ZERO. AND NEWER planned areas to be developed?- seems same old Human Frailties And Ignorance will always fallow. But watching your follow up vids- then will decide to Share or Sob. God Bless.
