City models
|
|
| A region (model) is an aggregation of one or more centres, precincts and areas. Using the CITIDA system, this can be defined symbolically. | ||
| Given the number of different centres, precincts and areas, the combinational possibilities mean there are infinite variations possible to create even a simple region model. | ||
| A city can be defined as a region model | ||
| Using the CITIDA symbolic system, all cities may be defined as single regions or clusters of regions. As such, all historic and current cities may be defined as living models of CIVILA. | ||
| Region models as Regional centre models | ||
| While there are millions upon millions of potential combinations of centres, precincts and areas, all region models may be defined by a simpler model based on their common centre model. | ||
| Even with just centres, there are tens of thousands of combinations available in mono, dual, triple and multiple relationships. | ||
| The limited number of regional centre models used for cities | ||
| Of all the tens of thousands of possible geometric combinations, all human cities built to date may be defined by a limited set of regional centre models. | ||
| Not only is their a limit to the number of regional centre models used for human cities, but periods of history represent the birth, death and domination of a few models. The city associated with the birth or death of a model can be classed as a “model city”. | ||
| The following lists the primary regional centre models used as the core of virtually every human settlement of significance (over 20,000 people) in human history. They fall into four types of class: | ||
| Mono Dual Tri Omni | ||
| Mono regional centre models | ||
| Regional centres based on one central purpose of buildings. | ||
| Dual regional centre models | ||
| Regional centres based on the specialised purpose of each set of buildings and their co-dependence of power. | ||
| Dual regional centre models | ||
| Regional centres based on the specialised purpose of three centres of buildings and the interdependence and flow of power. | ||
| Omni regional centre models | ||
| Omni regional centres based on the specialised purpose of more than three centres of buildings and the interdependence in the flow of power. | ||
