NAME THAT URBANIST

3 This architect was very fond of cubist aesthetics and

conceptualized sky-‐high buildings and block apartments that would house 3 million people. He provided a

paradoxical solution to congestion, saying that city centers should be decongested by increasing the center density.

NAME THAT URBANIST

4 This land economist

studied 142 cities and came up with a sectoral

the industrial and transport functions.

3 This book compiles case after case of environmental sciences, and looks speciRically at how pollutants spread from a bottle of insecticide all the way to a

water body, the Rlying robins, or a mother’s breastmilk. This book launched an environmental

movement around the world.

opportunities for employment and social

development.

5 This powerful book changed the course of

traditional physical planning into human-‐centric planning. The sociologist author openly challenged how everything in a city (highways and skyways) was built for the car when there is too much

evidence that people are the heartbeat of the city. She also championed mixed uses and diversity in growth. The famous notion of “ballet on the streets”

is in this book.

RULES

1  Same rules2  I will give a definition, and you tell me

which concept I am referring to. It may be a theory, principle, idea, type of science, or ideology.

CONCEPT NOTES

1 This economic and geographic theory says that the higher the order and the larger the range of goods and services, the longer the distance people are willing to travel for them. This theory is based on the market as a center, and uses the concepts of

threshold and range.

CONCEPT NOTES

2 “If anyone intentionally pollutes the water of

another, whether the water of a spring, or collected in reservoirs…; if the accused be found guilty of injuring the water by deleterious substances, let him not only pay for the damages, but purify the stream or cistern which contains the water.”

CONCEPT NOTES

Polluter Pays Principle by Plato

CONCEPT NOTES

“It shall be the responsibility of the polluter to contain, remove, and clean-up water pollution incidents at his own expense. In case of his failure to do so, the government agencies concerned shall undertake containment, removal, and clean-up operations and expenses incurred in said operations shall be against the persons and/or entities responsible for such pollution.”

Philippine Environmental Code (Presidential Decree 1152), Section 20 discusses clean-‐up operations with regard to water pollution:

4 It is the science of human settlements. It has Rive elements: nature, anthropos, society, shells, and

networks. It also provides the units from anthropos (1 person) to ecumenopolis (or 50 billion people). This is a multi-‐disciplinary science. The Greek Konstantinos Doxiadis may help ring a bell.
