Linear city model
elongated urban plan consisting of a series of functionally specialized parallel sectors
Linear city is a model in modern urban planning. It was first developed by the Spanish urban planner Arturo Soria y Mata in 1882. It was an alternative to densely populated industrial cities.[1] The idea was resumed in the 20th century in East Germany and Soviet Union.
