Urban planning shapes how we live, work, and play through design and regulation.
In short: Urban planning is the deliberate design and regulation of space within cities. This video explores how these decisions weave together economic, social, and environmental goals, and examines the profound influence these structures have on daily life.
The video explores various models used to describe cities, such as the Latin American Model, and highlights the development of Brasília as a planned city. It also investigates the historical impacts of the United States highway system and the practice of redlining, which began affecting minority Americans in the 1960s.
