ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Process Journal Report Compilation | Pamphlet & Model Representation
Introduction
For the final project for ENBE, Each student will have to pretend that they are the mayor
of the “X” City. The people in “X” city require a new city because of reasons that it no
longer liveable or because it’s just too crowded. As a mayor you will need to propose a
new layout for the new “X” City very quickly. As a group, we are given 5 options to choose
to build the city on. The 5 options are an underground city (or in a cave), an underwater
or floating on water City (at sea or saltwater wetlands), an underwater or floating on
water City (fresh water wetlands), a city that blends in the forest (Swamp Area etc), a city
in the Air (or sky scraper city or in the mountains). When planning the city, students are
required to consider and include the followings;
i. The geometric shape, form, pattern, hierarchy, system and structure of the city.
ii. The aim of the city, the green approach, new waste management, new technology, business
plan, new initiatives etc.
iii. The main focus of the city; such as the square, garden, monuments, town hall, pavilion, civic
building, axis and vistas.
iv. The zoning of the city. (government buildings, business area, commercial areas, recreational
areas, education areas, religious and cultures areas, hospitals, services area, industrial area,
residential, community area, port and shipping area, forest and green areas, agriculture area,
hospitality and tourism etc)
v. The people, population, social issues, activities, food distribution, crime, security, education,
culture and religion.
vi. Transportation and networking. vii. Infrastructure, utility, services and amenities. (Energy,
water, waste etc.)
viii. Sustainable initiative and climate change consideration and resilience etc. ix. Other services
(such as police, army, economy, security, technology etc)
After that, students are required to make a pamphlet about the “X” city.

What is a city?
The definition of a city is actually an English word that origin from Latin which
is “civitas”. “Civitas” basically means civilization or a highly organized
community. A city is also defined as a larger version of a town which is
designed to provide everything a human being needs for survival.
Characteristic of a city
A city should consists of basic services provided to
people, for examples;
-Efficient & Enough electrical, food and water supplies to
the people
-Infrastructure such as highways, lighting, sanitation and
drainage system.
-Zoning of the city
-Basic public transportation such as busses and trains.
-Historical monuments that identify the city

What makes a good city?
To make a good and sustainable city, it needs to have a balance of social
and economic. Not only that, the environment itself needs to ensure the
stability of development for the next generations to come. In order to make a
good city, these aspects should be taken;
- Clean and safe environment
- Basic needs that can be provided to people such as food, water and
shelter
- No crime and poverty
- Everyone has a job and no one is broke
- Public transports that can be accessed from everywhere
- Public spaces to connect with people
- Safe walkways along the road.
- Waste products can be recycled and reuse

Investigation & Data Collection:
Ancient city of Rome
The history of Ancient Rome city started on 21st
of April, 753 BC. Romulus and
Remus had an argument on who should rule the land, which resulted
Romulus getting killed by his own brother, Remus and he claimed the land
over his name. The Roman Republic only started building it on 509 BC, and
on the 484 BC, the first temple was built in Rome.
The city of Rome was the capital city of civilization of Ancient Rome. It was
located near the west coast of central Italy. The center of Rome had many
famous and historical buildings such as the Coliseum, the Pantheon and
Circus Maximus.

The specialty of Ancient City of Rome
- It was known as the largest city during the ancient times
- started doing business through a navigable waterways to travel goods and
foods.
- Implement and Improve other cultures as their own’s
- Has basic government buildings, monuments, entertainment area and
religion center.
Conclusion
The Ancient City of Rome showed us the basic needs of a city and its
strategic location that can connect the citizens and the city together.

Investigation & Data Collection:
Present city of New York
New York City can be considered as one of the most famous city in the world.
In the 18th
century, New York City had become one of the most greatest
trading business cities. Today, New York City is one of the top tourist’s
attractions and counted as the few wealthy city in the world.
The famous World Trade Center in New York City. It was once destroyed by
terrorist during the 9/11 incident but was rebuilt in 2006.

The specialty of New York City
- Population of 8.4 millions, the most populous city in the United States
- World’s busiest pedestrian intersections in the city
- Infrastructures like bridges, skyscrapers, entertainment and education.
- 24/7 public metro system worldwide
- Pedestrian walkways can are everywhere so that people can walk instead
of using vehicles.
Conclusion
The fact that the city priorities the citizen by supplying large walkways to
pedestrian, this not only can reduce the amount of cars on the road, it can
also lead the city in a more greener way.

The Future City: City of Bioshock Infinite
The city in this game, Bioshock infinite is actually a floating city also called as
Columbia. The buildings are all connected by a bridge. The main transport
system in this city is zeppelins and overhead rail. Grapple Hook is also
considered a medium of transport but it can only be used by one person
only.
Benefits of the city
- It’s environmental friendly
- The buildings are all connected with bridges to reduce the inertia of the city
when its flying.
- Some buildings used balloons to levitate in the sky but most of them used
quantum levitation.
- The city is designed with docking stations and propulsion to allow sections of
it to move independently

Information of the “X” city
The place that we got to build the city is in the air, it can either be
on top of a mountain, a skyscraper city or a city that is floating in
the air. Since this is an individual work, I chose a city that is floating
in the air as it has more freedom to move around. The city can
choose to settle down in one location or float around the world
like a nomad.
Case study on city in the air
Having a city in the air is totally different because its levitating in the air. It’s
like a giant plane holding a city. A lot of considerations need to be made
when having a city in the air. But if natural disasters such as earthquake, flood
or tsunami, it won’t be a problem to it.
The considerations and problems
Planning a city needs to do detail research and considerations. The main
factors of planning a city is knowing the economy issue, environmental issue
and social issue. Other than that, we need to know how to make the city to
float in the air and not making it fall. Promoting eco friendly life style can
reduce environmental issue. By using public transport or walking would
greatly reduce air pollution.
As from the economy issue, we need to know how do we get the income if
our city is built in the air? Will it be by agriculture? The only source of income
in the air would probably be tourism, as nothing much can be done in the air
then enjoying the breeze and view of it. By implementing what a tourism city
needs into the floating city, it will work the same way but different experience
to the people.
To actually make the city float in a stable condition, it can be either by using
quantum levitation, hover ball system or using balloons as seen in the movie
“Up”. The weight on top of these needs to be proportional as the system is
pushing against the city to make it float.

The Advantages
Having a city floating in the air can comes with a lot of pros and cons.
- It’s a whole new different experience for the citizen that live in the city.
- The citizen would get a better way of living in the future, floating on air city
would be built accommodating environmental, social and economy issue,
which can provide a higher standard living to the citizen.
The Disadvantages
- The city might interrupt the air transportation pathway
- Its far away from the land or sea, getting the resources would be a problem
- Since its in the air, air pollution can get worst if any considerations were not
made.

SKYVALLEY
The aim
The aim of this city is to let the people live in an eco friendly environment for a
different life style experience.
The Ideas
My initial ideas was to make a city similar to the city in Bioshock Infinite, which
is to connect the city with bridges. But after thinking twice, I’ve decided to
design the city in a more simple way, since what matters is the inside of the
city. The reason the design of the city is like this is because I need to make
sure the city can float properly and not fall. Both top and bottom are
aerodynamic is to reduce the air resistance.

The new features & facilities
Since I wanted to make an eco friendly city, why don’t I make the city
without transportation that burns fuel but make something that pedestrian will
use
Hover board
- faster compared to walking
- safe & easy to use
- environmental friendly
Bike rental system
- mainly for tourist or anyone that needs it
- can be rent from almost any part of the city
- good for sight-seeing or relaxing

Solar roadways
- Roadways that made from solar powered LED lights
- Can customized by its own depending on the situation, for example if
there’s an animal walking on the road, the LED lights will ignite on the place
where the animal stepped on to alert the pedestrian or biker.
- During the night, it will use its stored energy to power up the roadways.
Green residential
- Residential area that is solar powered and with a small garden for you to
plant anything
- Same goes to condominiums, condominiums are also equipped with edible
garden & a small pool for higher class residential.

The progress layout design
The idea in my mind is to make a simple layout design for the city, the shape
will be either square, rectangle or a circle. These are some of the city layout
design I looked through the internet.
These two layouts are the one I paid attention the most. After a deep
considerations, I chose to make a city layout similar to the left one.
Pamphlet design
For the pamphlet design, I chose to do the classic one which is the accordion
style. As for how the pamphlet look like, instead of making it look messy with a
lot of graphics and fancy fonts, I want to make it simple yet easy to
understand.

About the Pamphlet
What is a pamphlet? And how do you make a good looking pamphlet?
Pamphlet
Pamphlet is like an unbound booklet without a hard cover or binding. It can
consists of one sheet paper that is printed on both sides and folded in half like
an accordion style. Pamphlet is good advertising medium or business
communication.
Examples of pamphlet
How to make/fold it?
In order to make a pamphlet from a blank paper, we need to know how to
fold it into one. These are some of the ways to fold it.
As for my pamphlet, I’m using the most classic way to make it, the accordion
style.

Good pamphlet design
To make a pamphlet that is artistic and informative, the pamphlet should
consists some of these elements.
A good headline/cover
First impressions is the most important to attract people to read at your
pamphlet. A good cover should be able to deliver the main message to the
reader.
These pamphlet cover might
not consists a lot of graphic but
it can convey a message to the
reader.
Informative
A pamphlet without enough information is like a book with blank pages. The
pamphlet must have the information about the products or messages that
you’re selling or convey to let people know more about it. The information
should be clear enough to convince the people, if they like it, they might
consider it. Pictures about your products should be in the pamphlet to give
people a rough idea about the products.
In this pamphlet, it

clearly shows the
ways to prevent HIV
& AIDS

Fonts & Colors
Using the right fonts can affect how your pamphlet can attract the people.
Fonts such as Forte, IMPACT or Broadway can easily attract people to read at
your pamphlet because of its uniqueness. As for colors, colors such as red
can attract people because of its fresh and bright color. According to
research, red color is the color that can attract people 90% of the time,
which explains why some of the magazines’ cover or pamphlet uses red.
Good pamphlet designs
