What is Urban Planning? Crash Course Geography #47

Today we’re going to talk about urban planning — which is the design and regulation of space within urban areas. Urban planning helps weave together economic, social, and environmental goals within a region from work, to play, and living, and unsurprisingly, has a tremendous influence on people’s lives! So today, we’re going to discuss some models we’ve used to describe existing cities such as the Latin American Model, take a look at a planned city and the capital of Brazil, Brasília, and look at the impacts of the US highway system and redlining on minority Americans starting in the 1960s. #CrashCourse #Geography #UrbanGeography SOURCES Planning History https://www.nationalgeographic.org/article/chicago-fire-1871-and-great-rebuilding/ Latin America/Brazil https://worldgeo.pressbooks.com/chapter/middle-and-south-america/ https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Latin-American-City-Model-according-to-Ford-1996_fig1_305433398 https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Model-of-Latin-American-urban-structural-development-Source-Borsdorf-Baehr-and_fig1_281024561 https://www.academia.edu/186124/Aztec_City_Planning https://www.smartcitiesdive.com/ex/sustainablecitiescollective/bright-side-indigenous-urbanization-biodiversity/1043231/ https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/opar-2017-0010/html https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/445/lother=es http://lanic.utexas.edu/project/etext/llilas/vrp/holanda.pdf https://www.britannica.com/place/Brasilia https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-20632277 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/09/170920113346.htm https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/opar-2017-0010/html https://www.academia.edu/186124/Aztec_City_Planning http://www.public.asu.edu/~mesmith9/1-CompleteSet/MES-SAA-06.pdf Urban Renewal/Redlining Sharma, Madhuri (2018) "Community Perspectives on Neighborhood Characteristics and Home-Buying Decisions," International Journal of Geospatial and Environmental Research: Vol. 5 : No. 1 , Article 3.  Available at: https://dc.uwm.e
