  • @sebbbo77 The cost to create the infrastructure required for this video example would be astronomical, but largely unreported as its money spent by private business owners and not money spent by the developers or government. IMO the role of urban planner within existing infrastructure is to marry the social role of new development with the social requirements of the existing infrastructure and vice versa.

  • @sebbbo77 I'd look at Libeskind's plan for ground zero and how faithful the developers and architects are to this to get a good idea of the role of urban planning. IMO urban planning is about social and economical system design, ie. how communities work rather than how buildings and cities look. 'Unfortunately' its far cheaper to build in or near existing infrastructure (transport, businesses, education, etc.) than to build in new locations like shown above.

  • @sebbbo77 really, I looking at this coz, instead of designing a buildihng you get to design a whole city, that is what is attracting me to the post graduate programme.

  • @alexerify1 That's sebbo's opinion. If you have the heart, and willing to take planning as your career. Just go for it ! And you will go far :)

  • @sebbbo77

    I was looking into planning as a career. Why is it so bad? What is it like actually practicing?

  • @sebbbo77 you really think so?

  • @road2stamfordbridge ...... yeah well try telling that to the thousands of town planners who have quit their jobs because of serious inconsistencies in what they were trained to do and what actually took practice.

  • @sebbbo77 No its not, you are soo wrong

  • @sebbbo77 I feel the same way. Felt like i was cheated the second i got into the office. What are you up too now as far as career goes?

  • @sebbbo77 that ain't good...i'm in my second year of planning now....cheers for the heads up lol
