A lecture presented by Peter Richards on the relations between architecture and urbanism. Urbanisation is the growth in population in certain areas, usually is the result of small towns combining or rural migration. Urbanisation is the transformation of human society where rural culture is replaced slowly by urban culture.

When looking at urbanisation we have to consider the following: Walkability, diversity, proximity, connectivity, accessibility, legibility, community. The picture above provides a perfect example of urbanisation; a constant increase in population and buildings at a central point.
Urbanisation has a significant correlation to my current project which intrigued me to develop my project 3. Urban design focuses on the city as a whole, instead of like architecture, focusing on each individual building. Which contrasts architecture and urbanism. So how do they link? All buildings require some sort of design, except in the case of urban design, it is on a much larger scale.
