A NEW CAPITAL
 VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

When the new State of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the Capital city. However, it was difficult
for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of drawbacks such as the climate and the State of the existing
buildings. Rather than try to overcome these drawbacks, the government decided to create a new Capital city. In
1959, a commission was established to investigate the possible locations of this new city. The advisor appointed to
the commission was Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city planner.

Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They then produced a report suggesting two possible
areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to the north of Rawalpindi. Both locations had advantages as well as
disadvantages. Which site was it to be?

The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors, such as transportation, the
availabilities of water, economic factors, and factors of national interest. Finally, the site north of Rawalpindi was
chosen and on the 24th February 1960, the new Capital was given the name of ‘Islamabad’ and a master plan was
drawn up. This master plan divided the area into three different sections: Islamabad itself, neighbouring Rawalpindi,
and the national park.

Each of these three sections had a different role. Islamabad would act as the national’s Capital and would serve its
administrative and cultural needs, whereas Rawalpindi would remain the regional centre with industry and
commerce. The third piece of the plan, the national park, was planned to provide space for education, recreation,
and agriculture.

Today Islamabad is a thriving city of about 1 million people. It offers a healthy climate, a pollution-free atmosphere
plenty of water, and many green spaces. It has wide, tree-lined streets, elegant public buildings, and well-organised
bazaars and shopping centres. The new Capital is a superb example of good urban planning.

LESSONS FROM CURITIBA

Urban planning deals with the physical, economic, and social development of cities. Today urban populations are
increasing rapidly, and growing cities are putting enormous pressure on the environment. For this reason, the type
of urban planning found in Curitiba, in Southern Brazil, is more important than ever. Curitiba is a fine example of
how urban planning can work. This has not always been the case, however. At One time, Curitiba faced the same
problems as many other cities all over the world, namely overcrowding, pollution, and an increased demand for
services, transport, and housing. How, then, did Curitiba address these problems?

By the 1940s the population of Curitiba had grown to about 150,000 as immigrants from countries such as Japan,
Syria, and Lebanon came to work in  agriculture and industry. These people needed both housing and
transportation. Curitiba’s leaders realised that it was not sensible to deal with these problems separately.
Consequently, they employed a French planner and architect, Alfred Agache, to find an overall solution.

Agache studied all aspects of the problem. He designed a scheme which gave priority to public services such as
sanitation and public transport. At the same time, the scheme included centres which helped both community life
and commerce to develop, and reduced traffic congestion. This was the first scheme to address several problems of
 VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

growing cities at the same time. Unfortunately, some parts of his plan were not completed. The result, as described
below, was that his scheme only served Curitiba for another 20 years.

By the 1960s, the population of Curitiba had grown to about 430,000 inhabitants, so the city had to rethink its
needs. In order to do this, the mayor put together a team of architects and town planners led by Jaime Lerner. This
team produced the Curitiba Master Plan. This consisted of taking Agache’s original plan and adding wide, high-
speed roads which crossed the smaller streets. Their proposals also included plans to minimise urban growth, reduce
city-centre traffic, and preserve the city’s historic district. It is clear that the Curitiba Master Plan was one of the
first attempts to integrate all aspects of city planning.

This integrated approach to urban design was maintained throughout the 1980s as Curitiba’s population grew to
almost one million inhabitants. Environmental facilities were added, such as a recycling programme for household
waste, and parks and ‘green’ spaces were protected from development. However, good transportation remained
Central to the planning.

Good transportation still remains a priority, together with the needs for jobs. A growing population needs
employment, so business parks and centres have been added to encourage new small businesses. All these changes
will continue as the population of Curitiba increases, but its city planners are continually searching for solutions to
the problems.
