1. Introduction
For our final project of ENBE we are given a task to understand the natural built environment.
The aim of this presentation is to project ideas to create a more sustaining and better living town
for the future. We are assigned to be the mayor of this “X” town and is to propose a new idea,
structure and layout of the “X” town. Thus research must be down on how civilizations from the
past creating their towns and how it improves as time goes by. From past to present and then
future.
With this new found knowledge, it can help us understand more of the geometric shape,
system and structure of the city, zoning of the city, transportation, networking and
infrastructure of the city.

2.1 The city definition
A city is a relatively large and permanent human settlement. A city is a
bigger settlement than a town and much bigger than a town. Cities have a
particular administrative, legal, or historical status based on local law.
Cites are more developed compare to towns, cities have complex systems
for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing and transportation. This systems
greatly benefit us humans by making interaction between humans and business
proposition much easier. Thus this process also helps in managing urban growth.
Big cities are mostly zoned into two different parts known as metropolitan areas
and urban area, with this it creates business opportunities such as people
travelling to either metropolitan areas or urban areas to search for employment.
If a city manages to expand far enough to reach another city, this new
settlement will be called a megalopolis. In terms of population, known as the
largest city with millions of inhabitants examples such as Shanghai.

2.2 History of a City
Towns and cities have a long history , many opinions and stories vary from
one another about which ancient settlement can be considered a city. A city is
formed is a central place for trade for the benefit of members and society. These
also have its pros and cons towards a city being the trading central. Benefits
include reduced transport costs, exchange of ideas, sharing of natural resources,
large local markets, and later in their development, amenities such as running
water and sewage disposal. Negative outcomes might include higher rate of
crime, higher living cost, increase of pollution, heavy traffic and high commuting
times. Cities grow when the benefits between people and firms outweigh the
negative outcomes

2.4 What Makes a Good Town/
Township
1. Good job opportunities – with good job opportunities more citizens will
want to stay in the town. More job opportunities will also benefit the
economy by improving it infrastructure, increase the value of the currency
used, and preventing bankruptcy of big companies
2. Architecture – big beautiful monuments, skyscrapers, interesting new
innovative architectural designs and vintage heritage sites will make the
town more interesting and invite more tourist to visit the town thus bringing
pride and good name to the town
3. Activities and Social Life - interesting activities and social life will
promote joy and amusement to the citizens of the town. After a long day of
work or studies we all look forward to something interesting and fun to
cheer us up. We all want to spoil ourselves with a shopping spree, drinking
sessions, exercising to make life more interesting and fun. This will motivate
the inhabitants of the town to be more motivated to work or do better.\
Gabriel Chin| 0320370| Tutorial Lecturer | FNBE AUG 2014 | Taylor’s University12
ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Better Livable Town Representation
4. Good Education – with good education the town will be able to produce
future leaders which will be able to sustain or better yet improve the town.
Improving the economy with new innovative ideas and suggestions
5. Parks and Open space – Mother nature gods beautiful creation. Having a
green lung in a town is great as a place for families to gather for picnics. A
place that is relaxing also making the air in the town cleaner.
6. Transportation – good public transport throughout the town will reduce
cost on petrol, reduce carbon foot print on the earth, reduce traffic and
reduce pollution

ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Better Livable Town Representation
2.5 What is Future Towns
1. Eco friendly – a system that can help prevent pollutions and reduce
pollutions. Self cleaning waste to remove waste and turning it into raw
energy to power the town. Less carbon release, this will also help improve
the condition of the earth
2. Self – Sustaining – without the need of bio fuel and natural gas, can
produce energy by itself, proper energy balance without harming the lives
of humans, emphasizing on the usage of solar panels to generate electricity
3. Modern looking – new design, innovative and inspiring, aesthetic and eye
catching
4. Better transportation – reduces traffic and time used to arrive at the
desired destination

3.1 When did it start? History and All
Ancient City ( Taormina )
Gabriel Chin| 0320370| Tutorial Lecturer | FNBE AUG 2014 | Taylor’s University16
ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Better Livable Town Representation
Taormina is a small town on the east coast of the island of Sicily, Italy, in
the Province of Messina, about midway between Messina and Catania. It
has popular beaches on the Ionian sea, which is remarkably warm and has
a high salt content. Taormina can be reached from Messina from the north
and Catania from the south.
3.2 What Ancient City Are You Concentrating On
An ancient city next to the sea
3.3 What makes is a significant city and what are the details?
Gabriel Chin| 0320370| Tutorial Lecturer | FNBE AUG 2014 | Taylor’s University17
ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Better Livable Town Representation
In the 19th century Taormina gained further fame as the place
where Wilhelm von Gloeden worked most of his life as a photographer of
predominantly male nudes. There is some speculation about Taormina being an
early gentlemen's destination. Also credited for making Taormina popular
was Otto Geleng, best known in his hometown of Berlin for his fine paintings,
which he painted in Italy but exhibited in Germany. What distinguishes Geleng,
however, is his choice to paint the more southern regions where he captured the
spectacular views and light of Sicily. He often painted the area's Greek colonial
ruins, including Taormina. Taormina's first important tourist was Johann
Wolfgang Goethe who dedicated exalting pages of the city in his book
entitled Italian Journey, but perhaps it was Geleng’s perspective that made its
beauty talked about throughout Europe and turned the site into a famous tourist
center.
3.4 Conclusion about the cities
Taormina was the famous destination people desire to arrive at in the 19th
century. The natural beauty of the place is one of a kind. Till this very day
Taormina is just as famous as it was previously in the 19th century maybe more.

ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Better Livable Town Representation
Honolulu is the state capital and the most populous city in the U.S.
state of Hawaii. It is the county seat of the City and County of Honolulu. Hawaii is
a major tourist destination and Honolulu, situated on the island of Oahu, is the
main gateway to Hawaii and a major gateway into the United States. The city is
also a major hub for international business, military defense, as well as famously
being host to a diverse variety of east-west and Pacific culture, cuisine, and
traditions. Honolulu means "sheltered harbor" or "calm port." The old name is
said to be Kou, a district roughly encompassing the area from Nuuanu Avenue to
Alakea Street and from Hotel Street to Queen Street which is the heart of the
present downtown district. The city has been the capital of the Hawaiian islands
since 1845 and gained historical recognition following the attack on Pearl
Harbor by Japan near the city on December 7, 1941.

The future of towns and Better
Towns
Venus Project
Gabriel Chin| 0320370| Tutorial Lecturer | FNBE AUG 2014 | Taylor’s University26
ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Better Livable Town Representation
The Venus Project proposes an alternative vision of what the future can be
if we apply what we already know in order to achieve a sustainable new world
civilization. It calls for a straightforward redesign of our culture in which the age-
old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt and unnecessary human suffering
are viewed not only as avoidable, but as totally unacceptable. Anything less will
result in a continuation of the same catalogue of problems inherent in today's
world. Today many people believe what is needed is a higher sense of ethical
standards and the enactment of international laws to assure a sustainable global
society.
Off Shore Living
Offshore apartment buildings of concrete, steel, glass, titanium, and a wide
variety of new synthetic materials could be built to relieve the population
pressure in areas like Hong Kong, Tokyo, Los Angeles, and New York. The
materials used in such projects would be engineered to withstand the corrosive
effects of the harsh ocean environment.
Gabriel Chin| 0320370| Tutorial Lecturer | FNBE AUG 2014 | Taylor’s University27
ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Better Livable Town Representation
Fish Farming and Fish
Cultivation
Such systems would be used to cultivate and raise fish and other forms of
marine life to help meet the nutritional needs of the world's people. Capable of
cultivating a great variety of marine life, these structures would be equipped to
permit the free flow of water throughout the system. They are designed to be a
non-contaminating, integral part of the marine environment.

ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Better Livable Town Representation
Automated Water System
Eventually, with applied total design concepts and "mega-hydrological"
projects, we could minimize the threat of floods and drought. These waterways
would be an integrated part of a national flood control system that would hold
back floodwaters, which could be released during periods of drought, and be
used to maintain the water table. It could also be used for irrigation, shipping
passengers and bulk freight; and the water storage basins could be used for
recreation as well. In many instances, the waterway would be used as
evaporative desalinization.

Lilyopolis
Gabriel Chin| 0320370| Tutorial Lecturer | FNBE AUG 2014 | Taylor’s University30
ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Better Livable Town Representation
I decided on the name Liliopolis because it resembles a lily floating on
water as it beside the sea. In my town food, water and daily essential needs are
supplied. My town will be divided into different sections for different purposes
such as work, drinking and residential areas, each area serves an important
purpose to maintain a happy living environment. My town too will be powered by
solar energy and other means of generating safe energy. Besides that, it too will
be eco friendly and have a good service of waste diposal.
Zoning

Transportation and Links
Gabriel Chin| 0320370| Tutorial Lecturer | FNBE AUG 2014 | Taylor’s University32
ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Better Livable Town Representation
My town proves many transportation means, such as a roads for vehicles to travel
on and special roads for bikes and bicycles to travel on safely. Besides that we too also
provide public transport such as trains, subways stations under the city, and busses.

Sustainable Approach to your
Town
Waste management
The waste it thrown away in the bins as seen above thus transported to an area through
underground tunnels where a rubbish truck can come and dispose of the waste materials.

Solar Energy
Solar energy will help converse the environment without the excess burning of natural gas
to produce energy. Also saving the environment from pollution thus also making the city more clean
and enjoyable to live in.
Robots
Gabriel Chin| 0320370| Tutorial Lecturer | FNBE AUG 2014 | Taylor’s University35
ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Better Livable Town Representation
Robots will help us humans with our daily actives making it easier for us in future. Robots
too can help us with annoying task such as cleaning, garbage disposal, repairing dangerous items,
accessing spaces that too are dangerous or inaccessible to humans.

7. Conclusion
As I have learned from past cities till very modern day cities. Nothing can
be achieved without failure. The architectural designs have evolved and has
given me many inspiring designs and different opinions on aesthetic
presentations of buildings. Unique designs of buildings are being made all
over the world serving different purposes and weathers. Sadly the only flaw
is that of as humans evolve we too create mass destruction in the progress
such as pollution and global warming, this harms the earth and our health
too. We should all work together to make a better future and better living
space for our current and future generations to come.
