Final Project - Better city of the future - Pamphlet and Model Representation.
Individual - 25% and Group - 15% - 40% marks
Submission Dates : Individual - 24th June 2015; Group - 22nd July 2015
Introduction
People live, work, and have fun together in many different kinds of communities. A city is a large community,
home to many people; a town is a small community; a suburb is a community located outside of a city; and a
neighbourhood is a small community that consists of the people and buildings near home. The relationship
between the city, town, suburb and neighbourhood is greatly interrelated.
The relationship between the city, town, suburb and neighbourhood is greatly interrelated. cities contain within
them the key challenges facing our civilisation. There are two sides of a city, the positive and the negative, the
promise of success and the threat of disaster. We may never be able to create a perfect city, but we can
certainly make improvements. A great city is a city that is sustainable and liveable.
The best way to understand a city is to explore and investigate a city first hand. Every city is different yet the
heart of every city is the people and their activities. In this final project, students will investigate about past,
present and future city. With the information collected students are required to propose the future city. The
future city should focus on the needs of the people, the facilities, infrastructures, and how it will sustain itself in
the future.
Learning Objectives
• To show symbiotic relationship of the elements of the natural and built environment
• To question, analyse and articulate the impact between natural and built environment
Learning Outcomes
• To differentiate and compare the different development of the built environment by looking at the
natural topography, landscape, space, building and infrastructure
• To analyse and evaluate the different development of the built environment by looking at the
natural topography, landscape, space, building and infrastructure
• Understand how to communicate ideas through observation and using different media/tools/
techniques to present information of the study of natural and built environment
Tasks - Individual
The idea of this project is to understand the component and elements of a city and what makes a better future
city. This final project is divided into two parts. Part A is an individual component to investigate and understand
the content related to “city” and the “ built environment” plus to propose a better future city by preparing a
pamphlet.
As the planner of the “X” City you are required to produce a pamphlet to promote the new city development
and to solve current issues assigned to you. You need to understand what a “city” is, its development and
history, components and elements of a city. You will be assigned to ONE of the two current issues that you
need to consider in your new city proposal;
a. Disaster Resilience City (i.e : earthquake, tsunami, typhoon, etc)
b. Migrant and Refugees
The investigation, collection of data, case study information, mind maps and analysis, draft sketches,
exploration and planning will be submitted as a weekly digital journal on E-portfolio as evidence to show that
you did your research and to support your ideas. You may use different medium to showcase your research
and compilation.
Basically each student will be submitting the following;
a. An A4 size folded pamphlet – to promote the new “X” city (from an A1 folded into an A4). Key
information you will need to provide are;
Brief information about the new “X” city approach, the aims of the new city, the name of the
city, the location of the city, the current issue approaches applied to city, new initiatives,
technology and other information that makes it a better city to live in. You may add other
supporting information such as culture, economic etc. – text and supported by images.
Provide a master plan drawing of this new town. Preferably to scale to show how the city
works and zonings of areas. You can provide images to support whatever you are proposing.
Basically to make the new “X” City appealing, relating to the current issue and the future
occupants understand how the city will be like.
b. A digital weekly journal report compilation - to compile documents (information collected, sketches,
draft ideas and planning etc.) This component will be guided and assess weekly. All information here
will be assisting students to complete the “X” city pamphlet.
Week 1 : 3rd June 2015
Students are required to do investigation on ancient cities, present cities and future cities. Collect data
that will help you to understand about the components and elements of a city. From these case
studies, you will have a better insight on how to plan your new city.
Week 2 : 10th June 2015
Investigate and collect data and understand the type of current issue assigned to you. You will then
design a city for that particular environment and type of location therefore you need to understand the
situation of your site. Look into documents, article, guideline and issues regarding planning a better
future city. 

Week 3 : 17th June 2015
Finally after doing a comprehensive investigation on the items above, you are required to produce a
brief proposal for the “X” city through diagrams, existing images, some sketches and illustration. As an
exercise the propose city is a small size city. The size of the proposed new city should be smaller than
Subang Jaya (70 km2). Therefore the new propose city should be between 30 - 50 km2 . The
population is between 100,000 – 250,000. (The population of Subang Jaya is about 710, 000).
When planning for the city, whether it is for the individual or group component, students are required to
consider and include the followings;
i. The geometric shape, form, pattern, hierarchy, system and structure of the city.
ii. The aim of the city, the green approach, new waste management, new technology, business
plan, new initiatives etc.
iii. The main focus of the city; such as the square, garden, monuments, town hall, pavilion, civic
building, axis and vistas.
iv. The zoning of the city. (government buildings, business area, commercial areas, recreational
areas, education areas, religious and cultures areas, hospitals, services area, industrial area,
residential, community area, port and shipping area, forest and green areas, agriculture area,
hospitality and tourism etc)
v. The people, population, social issues, activities, food distribution, crime, security, education,
culture and religion.

On this day, lecturers will be selecting best proposal to be further develop as group

Tasks - Group

The MODEL Requirements
a. The size of the model should not exceed A2 size board as the base. The height should not exceed
600mm. There is no minimum size.
b. Students are required to use recyclable materials to make the model. It would be great if you could
use daily items as model material such as bottle caps, straws etc. Less material is better but with
different colour and sizes. Do get advice from your lecturers regarding the scale, colour and materials
for the model. However students are encouraged to look for inspiration first.
c. Please prepare a casing for the model for storage purposes and safety during construction and
exhibition.
d. Please label your model with you group members name, lecturer’s name, batch and Taylor’s
University logo. (Digitally prepared)
e. You will be given 5-10minutes to give a verbal presentation about your city as a group.
