King Charles Built a New City
A planned community, planned city, planned town, or planned settlement is any community carefully planned from its inception and typically constructed on previously undeveloped land. This contrasts with settlements that evolve organically. Planned settlements are important due to the increasing Urban Footprint and its intensifying presence of its different components.
Poundbury is an experimental urban extension on the western outskirts of Dorchester in the county of Dorset, England. The development was led by the Duchy of Cornwall, who had the keen endorsement of King Charles III when he was Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall. Under the direction of its lead architect and planner, Léon Krier, its design is based on old architecture and New Urbanist philosophy. The 2021 census showed a population of 4,100.
Due to completion in 2025, it is expected to house a population of 6,000. 2,000 people in more than 180 businesses are engaged in its development and construction. Poundbury has been praised for reviving the low-rise streetscape built to the human scale and for echoing traditional local design features, but it has not reduced car use as originally intended. A 2022 report said: “Poundbury has been highlighted for its pedestrian and public transport links and not being as ‘car-based’ as other developments across the country.
Its actually working, The fact can be seen from the sense of belongingness.The residents belong to the place.Every place is a product of its history – formal and personal – and is therefore likely to engender feelings of attachment based on individual life events or distant historical events which are represented in architecture and iconography. People may feel a sense of belonging to a particular house where they grew up or a playground they went to as a child or similarly, may feel attachment to a part of the country where their ancestors came from.

Reimagining Urban Spaces in Post Pandemic World
It is not easy to develop a definition of urban space because such a definition must consider the social parameters of its constituent parts: urban and space. The difficulty of defining urban space is enhanced if one considers that urban space is an artifact of urbanization that describes the manner in which cities grow and societies become more complex. For example, a synergistic perspective of space situates the location of ‘‘urban’’ as an outcome of social and institutional forces associated with urbanization. In contrast, a structural perspective of space identifies ‘‘urban’’ as the product of social structures and relationships that typify urbanization.
Amid the upheaval from pandemic, spaces that affect all of our lives are undergoing tectonic and likely irreversible shifts. The workplace is changing. There are lessons from the disaster.One lesson is that we have to make our cities sustainable and resilient.
Urban fabric is changing in this new world. Neighborhoods which exhibit recognizable patterns in the ordering of buildings, spaces, and functions, variations within which nevertheless conform to an organizing set of principles are changing and being redefined . Urban Morphology is changing with changing Urban Footprint.
