Under Pol Pot's draconian Khmer Rouge, even being an artist was punishable by death.¹ But today, stencils or even elaborate graffiti murals along the streets of Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital, is hardly a rare sight. What prompted this rapid transformation? What does it even mean? This is a story or returning and remembering. Street art in Cambodia today is mostly propagated by visiting artists or returning Cambodian youth who, during the reign of pol pot, were fortunate enough to grow up in relative

The focus on urban planning during the depression was a way to employ the masses of unemployed folk and to advance the infrastructure of the nation. The vast projects that were undertaken are often viewed today as engineering marvels. The Hoover Dam (then called the Boulder Dam) was one of the largest projects or the era. It along with several other dams were created on the Colorado River to control flooding and to generate power for the region. The mentality behind the creation of infrastructure

Principles of Philantropolis Many have attempted to create “the perfect city,” and many have failed. Alain de Botton reduced the makings of an attractive, idyllic city into a mere six principles. He stated that such a city must not be too chaotic nor too ordered, that they must have visible life, be compact, must take into account orientation and mystery, as well as scale, and that it must be locally concerned in terms of building material and culture. I myself have conceived my own six principles

While we take having windows for granted, the fact is that for the majority of human history, we had no windows, at least not the glass varieties we have today. If you've ever seen a yurt in the wilderness of South America, you know that many homes built in the antiquated style don't have any windows, relying instead on a simple door to control the flow of air and heat. Other cultures, such as the tribes of Inner Mongolia, carved holes out of the walls of their homes, opening their houses to the

The Shoppes at Grand Prairie are better than Northwoods Grand Prairie Mall is better than Northwoods Mall. The new mall is better because it is cleaner. Since the old shopping center is indoors, it is harder to keep it clean. Grand Prairie is outside and is kept clean from the rain and the wind. Northwoods is indoor, which makes it harder to maintain. The escalators at the indoor mall are also hard to keep clean because many people touch them. The outdoor mall does not have escalators, making it

Different from the historical cities, the size of contemporary city is larger than that of ancient city, which means it not allowed maintenance of the human dimensions (Doxiadis, 1964). In other word, people are not able to walk cross the whole city. However, nowadays city has a different meaning. A walking city tends to be defined as a high pedestrian movement. Melbourne has made impressive efforts to contribute to waking city. For example, well-functioning public space such as federation square

The chaos of cities often times leads to high levels of racial, ethnic, and class-based inequalities; however, urban areas also allow groups to form and strive for equality. Los Angeles can be used as a case study to see the drastic effect group formation can have on the politics of the city. Looking from 1990 to the present, Los Angeles has drastically changed and many groups have influenced the political structure of the city. Overall, cities are free spaces where groups can form for a common cause

biophilic cities and integrate more nature into urban design and urban planning. Building biophilic cities is of great important for cities, residents, and the nature. Unsustainable urban sprawl damages open space and disturbs the function of the nature. Biophilic cities help us solve many environmental problems, such as climate change, air pollution, and decreasing biodiversity. For example, if we integrate more nature into the urban fabric, there will be more trees, animals, and rivers in cities. The

business sector of the capital city. And the last section will talk about Edinburgh’s expanding green belt and recent developments. Edinburgh; a city famous for its striking architecture and backdrop shaped by geology, was once a small city consisting of no more than a narrow street that linked Holyrood palace with Edinburgh castle. To this day it has become the capital of Scotland, with an increasingly large population (Swanson, I. (2014)). It is a city of
