What To Learn About Infrastructure in Urban Geography
There are millions of components that make a city function. People rarely think about them as many of them are hidden from our view, or we simply think of them as a part of daily life. When we do ponder on these things, it's usually in the form of a passing thought. Have you ever wondered how streets are able to efficiently direct traffic all over a city? It's anything but simple. Infrastructure is what forms our cities and through understanding infrastructure we can learn about the physical and social processes that go into building and improving our cities.
One way that a city can improve its infrastructure and urban geography is to see what large world cities have done to accommodate their population. This is done through both extensive research and field work. The Works: Anatomy Of A City is the perfect tool for urban planners to study the layout and infrastructure of the most important city in North America. Through utilizing both the pictures and descriptions, urban planners can advance their own knowledge of urban planning and become better at their occupation. By analysing how all of the pieces come together, urban planners can further understand the makeup of a city in order to gain more knowledge about how to plan a city. Likewise, students of human geography, planning, engineering, architecture, design, and many other fields can use this book to further grasp the concepts that they learn in their studies. When people begin to understand how a city is built and managed, they can examine the social and physical processes and interactions that make a city sustainable, manageable, and efficient.
