/ne of the earliest townships I ha!e seen is Eastwood City which is roughly

0.5 hectares. Located in Libis, it continues to e!ol!e and e"pand as new buildings and

shopping areas sprout.

#al$ing around Citywal$ was reminiscent of some places I lo!ed abroad -- +uaint

haunts where people could ust wal$ around cobbled streets, surrounded by restaurants

and trees that pro!ided shade. It was a family place. &he mall nearby pro!ided the

shopping con!enience of a one-stop place.

&hen as years went by, other high-rise condominiums began sprouting around. &hey

became mi"ed-use condos -- fancy restaurants, shops and con!enience stores on the

ground floor and upscale residences or offices on the upper floors. % new, more modern

Eastwood mall was built on the other side of the road. &he pla*a facing the mall

features fountains, bridges and lots of seating places where people 9and their pets, too,

because Eastwood City is pet friendly: can hang out and sociali*e. &his is one place

where I can go into a mall and not be surprised to see dog breeds of all sorts wal$ing

alongside their humans.

Li!ing in a township is the best of all worlds -- for professionals who wor$ in companies

located within the township area; young married couples who are raising $ids and want

to ha!e enough family time rather than fighting traffic commuting from home to wor$ and

bac$; and are e!en ideal places for retired fol$s who want e!erything they need within

wal$ing distance. #hen most e!erything you need is self-contained in a township, life

really does get so much easier and more rela"ed. #or$ no longer becomes such a

burden because the stress of the commute is eliminated. Play and Eat become so much

more pleasant when one starts out already in a rela"ed mood.

?p to this date, Eastwood City is not yet totally de!eloped, which is good urban

planning. I li$e slow de!elopment. It gi!es residents and wor$ers time to get used to the

changing landscape as people and !ehicle traffic implications are studied, twea$ed and

impro!ed.

&hat reminds me. ItFs nearing Christmas and I ust lo!e Christmas in the air I should find

some time to pay a !isit again to Eastwood City and other townships in the metro and

see what the Christmas atmosphere is li$e there now

Many %mericans thin$ that what is small and local is unimportant - bigness is themeasure of significance. et it is the details and particulars of ordinary li!ing thatdetermine the +uality of our li!es. &he small community is important because it has in itthe basic !alues, particularly in terms of our relationships with others, which are eternaland uni!ersal. &he history of %merica throughout the 14th century was the mo!ement ofpeople from rural life to urban life. In that sense the populations of small communitieswere the emigrants to the larger community and, ust as European emigrants set thepattern for !arious cities, so rural immigrants set the !alues for the cities. %s moregenerations are born into the cities, problems arise - showing up as !iolence,competition and indi!idualism. &he small community has historically represented thebest of the culture of character for the nation.

istory

&hroughout most of human history, the maority of human settlements de!eloped as

mi"ed-use en!ironments. #al$ing was the primary way that people and goods were

mo!ed about, sometimes assisted by animals such as horses or cattle. Most people

dwelt in buildings that were places of wor$ as well as domestic life, and made things orsold things from their own homes. Most buildings were not di!ided into discrete

functions on a room by room basis, and most neighborhoods contained a di!ersity of

uses, e!en if some districts de!eloped a predominance of certain uses, such as

metalwor$ers, or te"tiles or footwear due to the socio-economic benefits of propin+uity.

People li!ed at !ery high densities because the amount of space re+uired for daily li!ing

and mo!ement between different acti!ities was determined by wal$ability and the scale

of the human body. &his was particularly true in cities, and the ground floor of buildings

was often de!oted to some sort of commercial or producti!e use, with li!ing space

upstairs.

&his historical mi"ed-used pattern of de!elopment declined during industrialisation in

fa!or of large-scale separation of manufacturing and residences in single-function

buildings. &his period saw massi!e migrations of people from rural areas to cities drawn

by wor$ in factories and the associated businesses and bureaucracies that grew up

around them. &hese influ"es of new wor$ers needed to be accommodated and many

new urban districts arose at this time with domestic housing being their primary function.

&hus began a separating out of land uses that pre!iously had occurred in the same

spaces. @urthermore, many factories produced substantial pollution of !arious $inds.

Distance was re+uired to minimi*e ad!erse impacts from noise, dirt, no"ious fumes and

dangerous substances. E!en so, at this time, most industriali*ed cities were of a si*e

that allowed people to wal$ between the different areas of the city.

&hese factors were important in the push for Euclidean or single-use *oning premised

on the compartmentali*ation of land uses into li$e functions and their spatial separation.

In Europe, ad!ocates of the 2arden City Mo!ement were attempting to thin$ through

these issues and propose impro!ed ways to plan cities based on *oning areas of land

so that conflicts between land uses would be minimi*ed. Modernist architects such

as Le Corbusier ad!ocated radical rethin$ing of the way cities were designed based on

similar ideas, proposing plans for Paris such as the Plan Hoisin, Hille

Contemporaine and Hille =adieuse that in!ol!ed demolishing the entire center of the

city and replacing it with towers in a par$-li$e setting, with industry carefully sited away

from other uses.

In the ?nited tates, another impetus for Euclidean *oning was the birth of the

s$yscraper. @ear of buildings bloc$ing out the sun led many to call for *oning

regulations, particularly in >ew or$ City. Goning regulations, first put into place in

the 003 Goning =esolution, not only called for limits on building heights, but e!entually

called for separations of uses. &his was largely meant to $eep people from li!ing ne"t to

polluted industrial areas. &his separation, howe!er, was e"tended to commercial uses

as well, setting the stage for the suburban style of life that is common in %merica today.&his type of *oning was widely adopted by municipal *oning codes.

#ith the ad!ent of mass transit systems, but especially the pri!ate automobile and

cheap oil, the ability to create dispersed, low-density cities where people could li!e !ery

long distances from their wor$places, shopping centres and entertainment districts

began in earnest. owe!er, it has been the post-second #orld #ar dominance of the

automobile and the decline in all other modes of urban transportation that has seen the

e"tremes of these trends come to pass.

In the 014s, the ?.. >ational Goning Enabling %ct of 016 and a series of >ational

ubdi!ision and Planning acts in English-spea$ing countries first set forth standards

and practices of single-use *oning to be adopted by e!ery municipality, which soon

became the standard for all post-#orld #ar II de!elopment. &hese laws enforced and

codified standards for modern suburban design as it is $nown today, which ha!e been

e"ported to many other countries through planning professionals and transportation

engineers. &he resulting bills progressi!ely included restrictions on alleyways, minimum

road widths, restrictions on cross streets for maor arteries, buffer *ones between

separate areas, and eliminating mi"ed-use in all new de!elopments, resulting in a

moratorium on traditional urban de!elopment which remains in place in most areas that

are not specifically *oned as Omi"ed useO or Ogeneral urban de!elopmentO, a common

term for grandfathered urban areas. In addition, some e"isting urban areas commonly

cited as mi"ed-use ha!e been re*oned in such a way that, if demolished, they could not

be rebuilt as such; for e"ample, post-flood rede!elopment areas in the 0th-century city

of >ew /rleans.

&hroughout the late 14th century, it began to become apparent to many urban

planners and other professionals that mi"ed-use de!elopment had many benefits and

should be promoted again. %s %merican, )ritish, Canadian and %ustralian

cities deindustriali*ed, the need to separate residences from ha*ardous factories

became less important. Completely separate *oning created isolated OislandsO of each

type of de!elopment. In most cases, the automobile had become a re+uirement for

transportation between !ast fields of residentially *oned housing and the separate

commercial and office strips, creating issues of %utomobile dependency. In 030, ane

acobsF influential The Death and Life of Great American Cities argued that a mi"ture of

uses is !ital and necessary for a healthy urban area.
