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.
