قسمتي از متن فيلم: Washington DC is widely recognized as one of  the best designed capital cities in the world.   From its grand monuments, to its wide avenues,  the city design is both impressive and functional.   But what makes the design  of Washington DC so unique,   and how has it influenced urban  planning across the globe?

The unique design of Washington DC can best  be visualized when taking a look from above.   The city’s grid layout allows for a highly  efficient use of space, and allows for a direct   connection to all parts of the capital. These  diagonal avenues, meanwhile, serve a dual purpose.  

They not only create a sense of design and  elegance but also represent the importance of   unity in the country. Each avenue is named after  a state, emphasizing the idea that Washington,   D.C., is a place where all states  come together to govern as one nation.  

This design is the result of French architect  and urban designer Pierre L’Enfant (Lan   Font), who was commissioned by George Washington  to design America’s Capital City. L’Enfant   was a visionary architect who had a unique  understanding of urban planning and design.  

He recognized the importance of creating a city  that not only served as the seat of government,   but also reflected the values and aspirations of  the American people. L’Enfant plan for Washington   DC would be a city that was both functional and  appealing, with wide avenues, public spaces,  

And grand buildings. His plan included several  key features, such as the National Mall, the   Capitol Building, and the White House, which have  all become iconic symbols of the United States.   While this plan would be modified over the  years, a final design was agreed upon in 1792.  

This would go on to create the  Washington DC we see today. The National Mall is a prime example  of L’Enfant’s vision of public space.   Stretching from the Capitol  Building to the Lincoln Memorial,   it serves as a gathering place  for visitors and tourists.  

The Mall is also home to many of the city’s most  significant memorials of American History. The   centerpiece of the National Mall is the Washington  Monument, which is 555 feet high. It was completed   in 1884 and is dedicated to the first President  of the United States, George Washington. Visitors  

Of the capital can take an elevator to the top  of the monument for stunning views of the city. The Lincoln Memorial is another iconic landmark  located on the National Mall. It was built to   honor the 16th President of the United States,  Abraham Lincoln, and was completed in 1922.  

The statue of Lincoln inside the memorial  stands at 19 feet tall and is surrounded by   inscriptions of his famous speeches. The National  Mall is also home to the Smithsonian Institution,   with 11 museums and galleries that showcase  the nation’s history and achievements.

As well as the National Mall, many more public  spaces were developed such as Presidents Park,   also known as The White House Lawn. This space  is located just north of the white house,   and features several monuments dedicated to  US presidents. The park spans more than 7  

Acres in size, and was created with an intent to  provide an open space view of the White House.   This location has become a popular visiting  destination in Washington DC, and has held   many large events over the past few years. The  numerous Public Spaces of Washington DC relate  

Back to L’Enfant’s original goal, which was to  create a city that would serve a dual purpose.   Operating as a house of government, and  providing ample space for tourists and visitors. The Public Spaces of Washington DC are not  only a symbol of American history, but have  

Become an inspiration for other cities around  the world. Washington DC’s layout and design   has been recreated in many different countries  around the world. Brazil’s capital of Brasilia,   was designed and built in the late 1950s with  a similar layout to that of Washington DC.  

From above, the Monumental Axis is clearly  visible, which was meant to replicate The National   Mall in Washington Dc. While developers had hoped  to recreate the style of the National Mall, the   project was met with widespread backlash. One  of the main problems was the city’s reliance on  

Highways and cars instead of walkable streets.  This resulted in widespread disagreement over   its construction. But Brazil is not the only  country to attempt to recreate Washington DC. Another Capital City Inspired by this  design is New Delhi, The Capital of India.  

This city was designed by British Architect  Edwin Lutyens, who was heavily influenced by   the design of Washington DC. The wide  avenues and the use of the center axis   point were inspirations to his design for  India’s Capital. The design of New Delhi is  

Centered upon the Central Vista, which holds  various government ministries and monuments.   Similar to The National Mall, at one end of the  vista is a monument, which is the India Gate. The Central Vista is currently undergoing a  $۱٫۶ billion dollar redevelopment project,  

Which aims to revamp this entire area. The  redevelopment includes new government offices,   as well as more public spaces for tourists and  visitors. When completed, 8 new structures will   be added to the Centra Vista, with many more  being repurposed or demolished all together. Like Washington DC, the Indian  Government has taken inspiration  

From the National mall to redevelop this area.   By reconstructing this region, The government  hopes they can create a district that can   better cater to the country’s evolving needs. This  project is expected to be fully completed by 2026.

The design of Washington DC has resulted in a  broader effect on urban planning and design all   across the world. It has inspired the way  many cities were designed operate today,   and has played a significant role  in the history of Urban planning.   But the Capital’s design is  certainly not without its flaws.

With such a car centric layout, many have  disagreed with the urban planning behind   this city. The capital’s wide avenues and  diagonal streets were designed with the   intention of accommodating car traffic, which  was seen as a necessity in the 20th century.

While the boulevards are a key part of the  city, this design decision has had a number   of negative consequences. With such high car  density, air pollution and traffic congestion   have become major problems. While efforts  have been made in recent years to promote   public transportation and alternative  methods of traveling around the city,  

The legacy of the car-centric design remains. Many have also criticized the city for its lack   of affordable housing. and urban sprawl.  The capital’s strict zoning laws and have   been a source of controversy  over the years. Nevertheless,   the city’s various open parks and public  spaces have helped limit the effects of  

Its car centric design. The combination of  these factors have allowed Washington DC   function as both a house of government, and  a gathering place for tourists and visitors. Pierre L’Enfant’s vision for Washington  DC was to create a city that would serve  

As both the seat of government and a  large public space that reflects the   values and aspirations of the American people.  His vision of open public spaces, wide avenues,   and diagonal streets would go on to serve as  both functional and elegant. Today, L”Enfant’s  

Vision has proven to be successful, with nearly  ۲۵ million visitors each year. But for now, the   design of Washington DC will live on, and continue  to inspire urban planning all across the globe.   Thank you for Watching, and consider  subscribing if you enjoyed the video.
