Abstract

Urban theory is fragmented. The relation of human purposeful activity (interaction) and city form is a major feature. However, some attention given to commentator's theory such as Jane Jacobs, Kevin Lynch and Alan Jacobs and Donald Appleyard in their taught toward city planning, in which the theories that explain the city planning's idea are reviewed. This study investigates comparison of ideology and theory of city planning. In order to search for the city planning theory, a qualitative method research which involves content analysis is the most suitable approach to be employed in this study. By the end of the research, this study will reveal the component of good city planning. This research will develop theoretical of city planning framework basis for making recommendation towards enhancement of city planning form.  It is suggested a good city planning element by combining the theories to improve the quality of living in the city.
