Question Answered step-by-step (1) Since we know human beings are urbanizing exponentially, faster… (1) Since we know human beings are urbanizing exponentially, faster than ever in human history, intelligent urban planning is critical. What do you think a city should be? How would you make the inhabitants happy and feel included in the development of the city? In other words, you are designing your own city on the scale of 10 million people, what would you include? Who would live there? What would housing look like? Public transportation or no? Walkable? Sustainable? Industry? Green spaces? Do outside research for this question. (2) Prior, to watching this film did you know anything about Jane Jacobs or Robert Moses? If so, what did you know? What is it that these two figures are struggling for in relationship to the city? (3) Who is Jane Jacobs? How would you describe her approach to cities? How did she “see” the city? (4) Who is Robert Moses? How did Robert Moses career begin? What was his approach? How did his type of urban planning impact social relationships? What is Moses’ aesthetic? Describe the work of architect of Le Corbusier and how his ideas influenced Moses. (5) Define slum clearance and urban renewal. How would you define a neighborhood, community and a street? How would Jacobs define a “sense of place”. (6) How did Jacobs help save Washington Square Park? What did this victory prove? (7) What are the major legacies that Moses left behind in American cities that will remain for generations to come? Who benefited the most from this legacy? (8) What did urban renewal and the development of the projects do to African-American communities and to the health of the American city? What happened to many of these projects? (9) What role do highways and automobiles play in the world of Moses? How did this impact neighborhoods and the people of these neighborhoods ie the Bronx and the Cross Bronx Expressway? (10) For this question, I would like you to make word and ideas associations to Moses and Jacobs. Make two columns, at the top write Moses and Jacobs in each, then write word or idea you associate with each of them in that column. (ie topdown v bottom up, people v  2 汽车，多样性v同质性，公共v私人领域，创造力v无菌，专家v.生活 @经验）。玩得开心！    Arts & Humanities Writing ECON 102 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
