Urban And Urbanism
• Definition of Urbanism:
Urbanism refers to the study, planning, and
development of cities and towns. It encompasses
various aspects, including architecture,
infrastructure, transportation, environmental
impact, and social interactions within urban
areas.
• Urban areas are typically marked by higher
population density and significant
infrastructure, such as buildings,
transportation systems, and public services,
and they often serve as centers for trade,
governance, and cultural exchange throughout
history.
• WHO IS THE REAL OWNER OF
AN URBAN?
The true owners of a urban are the people who
live in it and feel a sense of belonging to it.
Urban consciousness is when the residents of a
city, in addition to their existing diverse
identities, also develop an identity that is closely
associated with the city they live in.
