Question

Match the urban form/structure in Group I with their respective proponents in Group II. 

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

Hint:

When matching urban forms with their proponents, focus on key concepts in urban planning, such as satellite cities, linear cities, modernist planning, and spatial arrangements.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

We are asked to match the urban form or structure with the respective proponents. Let's break down the urban structures from Group I and their proponents in Group II.

Step 1: Identify each urban form/structure in Group I.
- P: Trabantenstadt – This concept refers to satellite cities or "suburban towns" that were designed to ease the overcrowding in major cities. This idea was proposed by Frank Lloyd Wright, who emphasized the design of small towns that are self-sufficient and well-integrated with the surrounding environment. Therefore, P matches with (4) Frank Lloyd Wright.
- Q: Linear city – The linear city concept refers to a form of urban planning where the city extends in a long, narrow shape rather than a traditional compact form. This idea was proposed by Arturo Soria y Mata in the early 20th century. Soria y Mata envisioned a city along a single axis with all necessary services distributed along the line. Hence, Q matches with (1) Arturo Soria y Mata.
- R: Bloomsbury Precinct – This refers to a specific example of urban development in the UK that was designed by Patrick Abercrombie. It was aimed at creating a structured area within a city that could accommodate large populations while providing adequate green space and services. Therefore, R matches with (5) Patrick Abercrombie.
- S: Radiant city – The Radiant City (Ville Radieuse) concept is a city design proposed by Le Corbusier, emphasizing modernist principles, green space, and high-rise buildings in a well-ordered layout. This plan is one of the most famous examples of modernist urban planning. Thus, S matches with (2) Le Corbusier.

Step 2: Verify the options.
Now, let's check the correct match from the options based on the analysis: - P matches with Frank Lloyd Wright (4), - Q matches with Arturo Soria y Mata (1), - R matches with Patrick Abercrombie (5), - S matches with Le Corbusier (2). Option (C) P–3, Q–1, R–5, S–2 is the correct match.

Final Answer: (C) P–3, Q–1, R–5, S–2
