Location | Seonbu-dong, Ansan City, South Korea⠀ ⠀ Ansan City has 760.000 inhabitants spanning over an area of 150 square kilometres. The city lies just 30 km away from the capital city Seoul. Although Ansan has a history of 1000 years, it was not until the 1960s that Ansan started developing rapidly. Ansan was developed to be a city focused especially on the environmental and residential aspects. This planned development started because the government of Seoul saw a need to redistribute and decentralise its population outside the city borders. Thus the Industry and Population Decentralization Policy of Seoul city was established in the 60s. Several other decentralisation policies and plans were introduced between the 1960s and 1990s. Here a picture from Seonbu-dong in Ansan City.⠀ ⠀ #seonbu #ansan #gyeonggi #선부동 #안산 #경기도 #southkorea #korea #한국 #worldurbanplanning #urbanplanning #cityplanning #architecture #aerial #aerialview #cityplan #urban #drone #buildings #architecturelovers #composition #city #urbandesign #landscapearchitecture #development #도시계획 #대한민국 (at Vedic Shastras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5lMAwHynL/?igshid=1ku4jlx3vvq56

Location | Jeongwang, Siheung City, South Korea Siheung City has almost 500.000 inhabitants and is located northwest in the peninsula of South Korea. In the picture we see blue aluminium roofs spread over a vast area with industry. Traditionally colors have played a significant role in Korean history, and was often a indication for social status. Blue tile was a sign of high social status. Many got similar blue tiles for their roofs as part of the New Village Movement in the 1970s (modernisation of the rural area) initiated by the president. Today even the presidential residence completed in 1991, named blue house, has blue tiles. #jeongwang #siheung #southkorea #gyeonggi #한국 #경기도 #새마을 #worldurbanplanning #urbanplanning #cityplanning #city #aerial #aerialview #cityplan #드론 #pattern #urbandesign #drone #architect #geometry #roof #architexture #도시 #도시계획 #urban #건축 #blue #korea (at Siheung, South Korea) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9mbnEwpYlN/?igshid=1b1acc5rgu7zy

Location | Bern, Switzerland Bern's old city was built on a narrow hill surrounded by the river Aare on three sides. The compact layout of the city has barely changed at all since its construction between the 12th and 15th century, and has kept its medieval character. In 1983 the old town was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its original medieval character. A great city where public transportation and biking or walking is a pleasure. #bern #berne #switzerland #swiss #worldurbanplanning #urbanplanning #cityplanning #urbandesign #architecture #landscapearchitecture #river #city #aerial #aerialview #drone #oldcity #unescoworldheritage #urbanpatterns #urbanlandscape #buildings #도시 #도시계획 #베른 #스위스 (at Bern Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6nlls7gloJ/?igshid=mzgsrduamwnf

Location | Pasay City, Manila, Philippines Pasay is one of the main cities in Manila Metropolitan Area. This city quickly became an urban town and grew rapidly since the American Colonial period. In this photo we see the difference in housing between people living in more dense and hardscape areas (Villamor district) compared to the green and more lush open areas on the other side of the river (Magallanes district). We need to understand and push forward the implementation of green and sustainable policies for poverty reduction, job creation and green neighbourhoods to counter these issues! #pasay #manila #philippines #worldurbanplanning #architecture #cityplanning #urbanplanning #landscapearchitecture #city #urban #pattern #urbandesign #geometry #도시 #도시계획 #مدينة #필리핀 #aerial #aerialview #arkitektur #suburb #housing #density #greengrowth #마닐라 (at Pasay City, Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7v9Z_eJZP2/?igshid=t5b1hh0d9xpk

Location | Bolsa Avenue, Westminister, CA, USA A typical car centric scene in the US. Westminster was once occupied by Oak Grove people 8,000 years ago. It become a colony in 1870, but has developed from the farmland into an urban community and city it is today. Two 8 million gallon beautifully designed water tanks, Sid Goldstein Memorial Park and the Vietnam War Memorial are some of the important elements which have been established. While its amazing how people can create such geometrical urban shapes, one should discuss how functional they are in reality. #bolsa #avenue #westminster #california #usa #worldurbanplanning #urbanplanning #cityplanning #architecture #aerial #aerialview #cityplan #urbanplan #urban #pattern #buildings #buildings #road #street #density #houses #geometry #roof #urbanpatterns #composition #art (at Bolsa Avenue) https://www.instagram.com/p/B86rcK7JiwV/?igshid=1q0o6v1e0jnia

Magazine no. 04 OUT now! (Link in bio) Location | Copenhagen, Denmark Already in 1778 land was made available for the development of community gardens in Denmark. The first community garden in Copenhagen was established in 1891, and since that time it has spread across the country. Currently 63,000 community gardens exist across the country, and the tradition has spread to Sweden, Norway and Finland. The community gardens are usually owned by the municipality which rents this land to community garden associations which provides members a plot of land. As the membership charge is set far below market price (and usually located within in attractive areas), the community gardens have long waiting lists which may take up to 10-20 years to get. Community gardens have become attractive as they provide city residents a way to connect with nature and have a garden. #copenhagen #denmark #københavn #worldurbanplanning #urbanplanning #cityplanning #architecture #danmark #landscapearchitecture #urbandesign #cityplan #aerial #aerialview #drone #도시계획 #덴마크 #코펜하겐 #green #geometry #urbanpatterns #urbanism #communitygarden #allotmentgarden #street #kolonihave (at Copenhagen) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9cgZcnpzOT/?igshid=1780byc7y15qy

Location | Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan A well cared tree row covers a huge area just north of Sapporo city. The urban forest surround the community, and connect two green areas together. Such urban forest contribute to a more walkable, livable and sustainable city (and has contributed to the identity of the place). Not only do they help in the removal of pollutants from air and water, but also contribute to more green and vibrant neighborhoods. Streets become more enjoyable to walk along. Urban green space enhance the quality of our daily lives and can return millions of dollars annually in health benefits. How does your city foster urban forests? And how is the management of the green areas? #hokkaido #sapporo #japan #nippon #worldurbanplanning #urbanplanning #cityplanning #landscapearchitecture #architecture #city #urbanpatterns #green #urbanism #composition #environment #drone #walkablecity #sustainability #liveablecity #urbandesign #design #aerial #aerialview #cityplan #forest #도시 #도시계획 (at Sapporo-shi, Hokkaido, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4fj1dXAPeO/?igshid=a3z28ukk8wm0
