Climate, environment, and human activities are interconnecting in affecting an urban

landscape. Climate change can increase temperature that may result to discomfort, economical
loss, migration, increased mortality rates, and might also cause flooding in an urban area or
landscape. Since we all get our consumption of foods, energy, water, and a land (a place where
we live in) in the environment, it may also affect the urban landscape. Polluted environment
affects the health and quality of life of the urban population. Human activities such as mining,
and illegal logging or cutting of trees that may cause weathering and erosion can shape the
landscape.

How will you differentiate the old urban planning to the modern urban planning with
regards to the old civilizations up to the present day?

Urban planning means developing comprehensive plans and designs for the use of space
within cities, towns, developments, and etc. There are two kinds of urban planning: the old urban
planning and the modern urban planning but these two have difference with regards to the old
civilizations up to the present day. Their differences are technology and in economy. During the
old civilization, there was no high-speed technology or advanced machines, they had animals
such as donkeys, oxen, and cows to transport food or plow fields. They collect food from hunting
animals. In old civilizations, people lived in buildings and wore clothing made by hand wherein
most items within reach would have been plant or animal products. Their economy was
essentially agricultural. While in the modern civilization with modern urban planning,
technology was widely used, distributed, and cheap. The new world did not make use of the
animals as the means of transportations but they invented buses, jeepneys, trains, ships, and
airplanes. Everyone nowadays uses technology. Their economy was in the industrial revolution.
Living and working in an industrialized society means that most people do wage labor and are
paid for this wage labor which they then use to purchase the necessities in life. The old
civilizations and the modern civilizations have differences in the physical aspects: dental,
cranium, skeletal and sexual dimorphism between the two civilizations.
