HISTORY
Evolution of Township
MODEL I : Earlier Concept Township
• Design planning is more focused to maximize land
use.
• Compact design, maximum and maximize the entire
space available land. Residential blocks (320 feet)
• Block designs looks like ruler and grid. Follow the
planning guidelines required- such as markets, police
stations, 10% open space or less and etc
• Topography and slope factor given less attention
and emphasis. Preferred to land leveling
Evolution of Township
MODEL II : Garden Concept Township
• The layout concept focussed on organic and
curvilinear design layout. The long block of houses
and grid iron was not favorable layout anymore.
• Department of Irrigation and Drainage (JPS)
introduced the Urban Storm Water Management
(MASMA) and design open space and recreation
planning is integrated into the layout design.
Recreation area features start emphasized as a way
of life.
• Design more by topography. High land – low density,
Low land – high density
Evolution of Township
MODEL III : Theme Concept Township
• Too rapid development of urbanization, resulting in
each new city introducing the theme of urban
development.
• Gated and guarded started getting overwhelming
demand due to safety factors, as well as the
development of stratified property
• Design and planning over the cluster groups.
• The layout produced to grid iron but with stronger
theme to provide high number of units at the same
time. Still maintaining open spaces + recreational
area as the main attraction and planning in
accordance with the current proposed site
topography.
Evolution of Township
MODEL IV : Sustainable Livable Concept Township
• The layout based on people’s need and promote
sustainable township – GREEN, LOW CARBON, SMART
CITY
• Not for urban development only but to maintain
ecological balance. Environmental awareness
started to emerge. Emphasis on the development of
societies and defend social values.
THE GREEK PLANNING
The Greeks developed theories on town planning and applied
to their city state and colonial towns.
Greek build the magnificent streets and buildings but also took
into account the need of sanitation, drainage and water
supply.
The works of arts was translated into town planning rather than
land use planning, in order to meet aspiration of the rising
merchant classes.

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
(18 – 19 CENTURY)
TH TH
• Industrialization leads to urbanization by creating economic
growth and job opportunities that draw people to cities.
• The urbanization process typically begins when a factory or
multiple factories are established within a region, thus
creating a high demand for factory labor.
• Other businesses such as building manufacturers, retailers
and service providers then follow the factories in order to
meet the product demands of the workers.
• This creates even more jobs and demands for housing, thus
establishing an urban area.

The Industrial Revolution
(started in Britain) was a major
turning point in the
development of modern
society and town planning.
Conurbation – Waves of
population inflow into large cities,
followed by overcrowding and
slum formation, then wave of
backflow. The whole process
resulting in amorphous sprawl,
waste and unnecessary
obsolesces.
Le Corbusier
Set out plan for satellite town called Garden City which his
portrayed on a grand scale.
Proposed that the logic of linear utility lines should be the basis
of all city layout.
Physical Environment :
• A school within easy walking distance from home
• A shopping centre within easy walking distance from
home
• Convenient transportation to and from work
• Well equipped playground located near the home
