An essay by Biji Lukose from Scotland, online
Some say city planners are informed enough to plan any new city
or expanding an existing city. But other say, it is good to consult people no matter
how informed the planners are.
Discuss and put in
your opinion.
These days many people are of the opinion that city planners are
responsible for constructing new cities. Some, however, disagree with this view
for a host of reasons; according to them it is better to take people into confidence even if the planners are
excellent. In my opinion, people need to be well informed.
It is a fact that, for the development of a nation, healthy and
cooperative citizens are needed. Healthy citizens are the backbone of a
country. So, they are responsible for knowing the progression of their country.
Authority should inform any changes or plan directly to citizens very well in advance because they are the end-users.
Government is authorizing to build new cities according to the needs of the
people. They should plan the outlines with the help of citizens. For this they
need to arrange an open conversation with public and accept their views. For
example, if government wants to construct new city or roads in the heart of an existing
city, it will be easy with concrete inputs of the public and authority. So, it is good to consult them first all
the expertise of planners notwithstanding.
On the other hand, it is right to argue that city planners are
efficient to plan areas because they are qualified people, who know the utility
of the place. Hence, it is wise idea to fall back of their expertise and
ingenuity. Moreover, they are qualified to modify the areas by following
relevant rules. But, it is difficult for them to implement their ideas without
public support. Again, it comes to the
point that it is better to convince the public regarding any change in the
development exercise of a city area, existing or upcoming.
From the above mentioned points, it can be concluded that, even
though city planners are qualified, for the smooth functioning of the
construction and expansion of cities, public
consensus is inevitable.
