Question

Match the Urban Design Concepts in Group I with their corresponding Proponents in Group II. 
 

• A. P-1, Q-2, R-3, S-4
• B. P-4, Q-1, R-2, S-3
• C. P-4, Q-3, R-5, S-1
• D. P-5, Q-4, R-2, S-3

Hint:

Remember: Cullen → Serial Vision, Yeang → Vertical Urbanism, Bentley → Responsive Environments, Pressman → Winter Cities.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

(P) Vertical Theory of Urban Design → Ken Yeang (4)
Ken Yeang is internationally known for his ecological design and vertical urbanism concepts.
He pioneered the idea of high-rise buildings functioning as vertical cities, integrating ecology with skyscraper design.
(Q) Theory of Responsive Environments → Ian Bentley (1)
The book Responsive Environments, authored by Ian Bentley and colleagues, is a key text in urban design.
It establishes principles that improve environmental legibility and user responsiveness in urban settings.
(R) Serial Vision → Gordon Cullen (2)
Gordon Cullen introduced Serial Vision in his seminal work Townscape.
It highlights how pedestrians experience urban space through sequential visual frames.
(S) Winter Urbanism → Norman Pressman (3)
Norman Pressman developed Winter Cities concepts focusing on urban design for cold climates.
He emphasized pedestrian comfort, microclimate control, and seasonal adaptability.
Therefore, the correct matching is:
\[ P \rightarrow 4, Q \rightarrow 1, R \rightarrow 2, S \rightarrow 3 \]
