Antonios Papanastasiou Mobility task

my response to the introductory task. As Stoke is characterised as a "polycentric linear city", i wanted to find out as much as i could about the origins of this type of planning. During my research i came across the two archetypes of the polycentric linear city: Ebenezer Howard's "Garden City" and Arturo Soria's "Ciudad Lineal". Then i looked at how the layout and past industrial character of the city are reflected on its current physical, sociological and economical state and continuing my research, i am looking at various proposals for the regeneration of the city, starting off with Cedric Price's conceptual "potteries thinkbelt" and the "vision lite" spatial vision system, a 2004-2014 community regeneration scheme.
