Abstract

The first European settlements in the New World followed European planning rules (The Laws of Indies, 1573). However, the Land Ordinance Act of 1785 introduced a land survey system which was largely influential in city planning. Advancements in transportation made during the Industrial Revolution helped in expanding West. The steam engine and steel manufacturing enabled a canal and railroad network, while new urban transportation allowed cities to expand their limits.
