English Comprehension Reading Comprehension (C)

Today if we consider cities such as New York, London and Paris as some of the most iconic cities in the world, it is because plans carrying a heaw systems approach were imposed on their precincts. The backbone of the systems theory is the process of translating social, spatial and cultural desirables into mathematical models using computing, stafistics, optimization and an algorithmic way of formulating and solving problems. The. early universities of the West which began to train professionals in planning, spawned some of the most ingenious planners, who were experts in these domains. This was because these very subjects were absorbed into the planning curriculum that had its roots in the social sciences, geography and architecture. Planning in India, and its education differ from the West.
