Question

Match the following City Planning concepts in Group-I with their proponents in Group-II.\[\begin{array}{|c|l|c|l|} \hline Group-I & Concept & Group-II & Proponent \\ \hline \text{(P)} & \text{Radiant City} & \text{(1)} & \text{Clarence Perry} \\ \hline \text{(Q)} & \text{Conservative surgery} & \text{(2)} & \text{Soria-Y-Mata} \\ \hline \text{(R)} & \text{Broadacre City} & \text{(3)} & \text{Le Corbusier} \\ \hline \text{(S)} & \text{Linear City} & \text{(4)} & \text{Patrick Geddes} \\ \hline \text{(5)} & \text{Frank Lloyd Wright} \\ \hline \end{array}\]

• A. P-2, Q-4, R-5, S-3
• B. P-3, Q-4, R-5, S-2
• C. P-3, Q-2, R-1, S-4
• D. P-1, Q-5, R-3, S-2

Hint:

Memory trick: - Le Corbusier → Radiant City (vertical, radiant towers). - Patrick Geddes → Conservative surgery (repair instead of rebuild). - Frank Lloyd Wright → Broadacre City (1 acre per family). - Soria y Mata → Linear City (along a transport line).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Radiant City.
- Developed by Le Corbusier in the 1930s. - Characterized by high-rise cruciform towers, strict zoning, and extensive green belts. - Noted for its focus on vertical living. \[P \Rightarrow 3\]

Step 2: Conservative Surgery.
- Proposed by Patrick Geddes, recognized as the "father of modern town planning." - Advocated for urban improvement through selective demolition and renewal, rather than large-scale clearance. \[Q \Rightarrow 4\]

Step 3: Broadacre City.
- Conceptualized by Frank Lloyd Wright. - A low-density, decentralized urban model reliant on automobiles. - Each family was intended to possess at least one acre of land. \[R \Rightarrow 5\]

Step 4: Linear City.
- Introduced by Arturo Soria y Mata in Spain (1882). - The concept involves urban development along a single major transportation route. \[S \Rightarrow 2\]

Step 5: Final matching.
Consequently, the correct sequence is: \[P-3, \; Q-4, \; R-5, \; S-2\] This corresponds to Option (B).

Final Answer: \[\boxed{\text{(B) P-3, Q-4, R-5, S-2}}\]
