Exercise 11. Read
the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
A NEW CAPITAL
When
the new state of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the capital
city. However, it was difficult for Karachi to remain in this role due to a
number of drawbacks such as the climate and the state of the existing buildings.
Rather than try to overcome these drawbacks, the government decided to create a
new capital city. In 1959, a commission was established to investigate the
possible locations of this new city. The advisor appointed to the commission
was Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city planner.
Dr
Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They then produced
a report suggesting two possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other
to the north of Rawalpindi. Both locations had advantages as well as
disadvantages. Which site was it to be?
The
choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors,
such as transportation, the availabilities of water, economic factors, and
factors of national interest. Finally, the site north of Rawalpindi was chosen
and on the 24th February 1960, the new capital was given the name of ‘Islamabad’ and a master plan was
drawn up. This master plan divided the area into three different sections:
Islamabad itself, neighbouring Rawalpindi, and the national park.
Each of these three
sections had a different role. Islamabad would act as the national's capital
and would serve its administrative and cultural needs, whereas Rawalpindi would
remain the regional centre with industry and commerce. The third piece of the
plan, the national park, was planned to provide space for education,
recreation, and agriculture.
Today Islamabad is a
thriving city of about 1 million people. It offers a healthy a pollution-free
atmosphere, plenty of water, and many green spaces. Guide tree-lined streets,
elegant public buildings, and well-organised bazaars and shopping centres. The new capital is a
superb example of good urban planning.
118. Why was a
commission founded in 1959?
A.
to overcome the drawbacks of Karachi as a capital city
B.
to create a new capital city for Pakistan
C. to look into possibilities of
the locations for a new capital city

capital city?

D.
issues of pational interest

LESSONS FROM CURITIBA
Urban
planning deals with the physical, economic, and social development of cities.
Today urban populations are increasing rapidly, and growing cities are putting
enormous pressure on the environment. For this reason, the type of urban
planning found in Curitiba, in southern Brazil, is more important than ever.
Curitiba
is a fine example of how urban planning can work. This has not always been the
case, however. At one time, Curitiba faced the same problems as many other
cities all over the world, namely overcrowding, pollution, and an increased
demand for services, transport, and housing. How, then, did Curitiba address
these problems?
By
the 1940s the population of Curitiba had grown to about 150,000 as immigrants
from countries such as Japan, Syria, and Lebanon came to work in agriculture and
industry. These people needed both housing and transportation. Curitiba's
leaders realised that it was not sensible to deal with these problems
separately. Consequently, they employed a French planner and architect, Alfred
Agache, to find an overall solution.
Agache
studied all aspects of the problem. He designed a scheme which gave priority to
public services such as sanitation and public transport. At the same time, the
scheme included centres which helped both community life and commerce to
develop, and reduced traffic congestion. This was the first scheme to address
several problems of growing cities at the same time. Unfortunately, some parts
of his plan were not completed. The result, as described below, was that his
scheme only served Curitiba for another 20 years.
By
the 1960s, the population of Curitiba had grown to about 430,000 inhabitants,
so the city had to rethink its needs. In order to do this, the mayor put
together a team of architects and town planners led by Jaime Lerner. This team
produced the Curitiba Master Plan. This consisted of taking Agache's original
plan and adding wide, high-speed roads which crossed the smaller streets. Their
proposals also included plans to minimise urban growth, reduce city centre
traffic, and preserve the city's historic district. It is clear that the
Curitiba Master Plan was one of the first attempts to integrate all aspects of
city planning.
This
integrated approach to urban design was maintained throughout the 1980s as
Curitiba's population grew to almost one million inhabitants. Environmental
facilities were added, such as a recycling programme for household waste, and
parks and 'green' spaces were protected from development. However, good
transportation remained central to the planning.
Good
transportation still remains a priority, together with the needs for jobs. A
growing population needs employment, so business parks and centres have been
added to encourage new small businesses. All these changes will continue be the
population of Curitiba increases, but its city planners are continually
searching for solutions to the problems.
123. What aspect of
development does urban planning NOT deal with?
A.
physical development B. technical development
C.
economic development. D. social development
124. How many problems are
mentioned in the passage as commonly shared by many cities?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
125. What was the

Agache’s approach different?

B.

develop.
