COMPARISON BETWEEN THREE AMERICAN CITIES
BOSTON
JERSEY CITY LOS ANGELES
• Central peninsula within the line
of Massachusets Avenue
• City of distinctive districts ,
crooked paths , ditty city, red-
brick buildings symbolised by
the Boston common , the state
house with its gold dome,view
across Charles river from
Cambridge side.
• Contains some new structure
among the old.
• Narrow streets are congested
with no parking space, ,striking
contrasts between wide main
streets and narrow streets.
• Boston Common core of their
image city , large planted open-
space , a place full of
associations , accessible to all.
Favourite views
Distant panoramas with the sense
of water and space.
Dry city lights of the night
• Fringe area of Newark and New York
with little central activity.
• Crisscrossed by railroads and elevated highways ,
divided into ethnic neighbourhoods , cut by ramparts
of the Palisades.
• Uncoordinated street system, formlessness of space
and heterogeneity of structure
• More than one city centre
• Drabness ,dirt , smell of the town are overpowering
• Few recognised elements
• Journal square is the most noted structure because
of intensive shopping and entertainment activity
• Paucity of recognisable districts and landmarks, lack
of commonly known centres
• Marked however by railroads ,overhead lines,
isolating boundaries
• Heart of a great metropolitan region
• Comparable in size to Boston and
Jersey city and contains more than
business district
• Heavily charged with meaning and
activity , large and distinctive
buildings with a basic pattern and a
regular grid of streets
• Central activities are spatially
extended and shifting
• Broadway is the most unmistakable
path with the largest shopping
concentration , crowds on the
sidewalks , street cars- shopping
area for most of the middle class
people
