Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. An important component of Constantinos Doxiadis' Master Plan for Riyadh. Original printed wraps with cutaway for the title 22x29cm, (1), ii, 20pp, with 2 related documents laid in, 3pp, 3pp, printed to rectos. The title page states the Arabic summary is a translation of this one. Generally very good, with name faintly pencilled to front cover (Mr Stroud), with some ms additions, corrections and deletions. The full report and its Summaries, prepared for limited circulation, are extremely rare with no other record found. Doxiadis (1913-75) prepared Riyadh's Master Plan during 1968-71, and it was approved in 1973. He had just seen his Master Plan for Islamabad realised. This separated cars and people, allowed easy and affordable access to public transport and utilities, and permitted low cost gradual expansion and growth without losing the human scale of communities. For Riyadh he adopted a super-grid that would enable Government to control and direct growth up to the year 2000. It incorporated his idea of a Dynapolis, or dynamic city open to grow in one direction in a way that preserved circulation patterns, urban centres, and residential community districts. It centred on an open-ended commercial and administrative spine that would allow growth as population increased. The city was cut into 6 large divisions, each with 8-12 localities of 2×2km (the optimal neighbourhood size, drawing on the traditional Murabba). Residential development would be channelled along the spine by a parallel industrial and special-use strip on one side, and Wadi Hanifah on the other. The plan assumed the car would continue to be the only mode of transport with a hierarchy of freeways, expressways, arterial roads, collector roads, and local roads. Unforeseen acceleration in growth due to the oil boom meant Doxiadis' assumptions were quickly exceeded. His plan was revised in 1978, retaining several key ideas (reference: Saleh Al-Hathloul (2017) "Riyadh Development Plans in the Past Fifty Years 1967-2016"). The report of which this self-contained summary is a part, was commissioned by the Interior Ministry while Doxiadis was preparing the Master Plan, as "the outcome of serious concern about the inter-relationship of the growing city and its airport" (p1). His findings, prepared during 7 Nov to 31 Dec 1968, describe the present situation (how and why the airport came about in the 1950s, its existing facilities, and problems including hazards, noise, restrictions, elevation and temperatures); the future of the airport (traffic forecasts, aircraft movements); the future of Riyadh (role, economy, population, size, alternative directions for expansion); conflict between future city and present airport; airport alternatives; relocation alternatives (immediate, longer-term); and the economics of relocation. He recommends that future growth plans and the safety of citizens should not be compromised because of conflict with the airport. Alternative locations should be identified supported by detailed surveys. Long term plans should be agreed among the Royal Saudi Air Force, Civil Administration Department, Saudi Airlines, the City of Riyadh, and other interested parties. Construction should prioritise the Royal Saudi Air Force, then civil aviation "providing Riyadh with a first class full international airport". Legislation is needed to stop development towards the chosen site. The two documents laid in look to be studies or drafts that fed into the final report. "Basic Assumptions" spells out design criteria (max gross takeoff weight, runway length, prevailing winds, number of landings and takeoffs); preliminary engineering (soils, pavement, reinforcement, materials and labour); and financing. "Provided works" covers general, infrastructure, superstructure, facilities, navigational aids and communications, lighting and visual aids, and miscellaneous.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the summer of 1972 a symposium on the City for Human Development was organized by the Athens Center of Ekistics. C. A. Doxiadis, an architect, and one of the planners of the symposium, prepared a set of goals and a proposal for discussion. His main concern was how to make the city more human, that is, how to make citizens happy and safe and help them in their human development. Doxiadis proposal faced this problem from the point of view of a builder of houses and cities who wishes to develop them in a responsible manner. Therefore, it was decided to bring together a few scientists interested in the fate of man who would discuss whether it was possible to create a city which would ensure mans happiness and security and which would also help him to develop in a more satisfactory manner. This book contains Doxiadis report and the symposium. The symposium produced some important ideas which will be invaluable in the planning of more workable cities and in the reorganization of society to give citizens the maximum of community life and the maximum of diversity.
