CITY TYPES - Organic city: irregular organisation from unplanned growth over time. Formed heavily through interaction between built form and natural features.
- Labyrinth: Associated with Islamic culture and sacred shared space. A protective form serving the ‘intimate needs of privacy’. - 18th Century: Response to organic city. Seeks to bring order to chaotic cities of Europe. Systematic planning and capital formation and investment. - Baroque: Uses rhetoric of order, balance and dignity, as well as wide avenues and monumental public spaces to express power of a centralised government. - Grid city: Uniformity and extendibility provides a clear lattice to control unruly locale and be filled over time.
Newark - Organic and Labyrinth Hybrid
