Pertanyaan

Question 5- 8 are based on the following passage.

Published in 1961, The Death and Life of Great American Cities remains one of the most important texts in the field of urban planning. The author, Jane Jacobs, proposed that only by acknowledging the complex interplay between the residential commercial and industrial could we begin to develop cities that would not only be safe but also enjoyable. This thinking ran counter to many of the theories of the urban planning movements of the sixties and seventies, many of which advocated the separation of residential and commercial zones, and attempted to create orderly, efficient utopias. In doing so, however, they neglected the human element and many today feel that this is one of the major causes of the urban decay so prominent in many metropolitan areas.

As larger American cities attempt to combat crime and suburban flight, city leaders are reconsidering many of Jacobs's ideas and incorporating those ideas in sometimes unexpected ways. One prime example of this is The Grove, a shopping center in the Fairfax district of Los Angeles. Attached to the Farmer's Market, this sprawling commercial area resembles a village more than a mall, and intentionally so. There are outdoor seating areas, a pond, and many cafes mixed in with upscale shops. The question that remains, however, is whether this contrived community atmosphere will be able to replicate the dynamics of a naturally occurring neighborhood, and only time will provide the answer.

The primary purpose of the passage is to ....

urge the public to support zoning-initiatives that would further the goals of planners such as Jacobs
ambaste short-sighted urban planners who neglect to consider the human element when planning a community
sympathize with people attempting to create a vibrant community without the requisite social support systems
cast doubt on the efficacy of some methods of urban planning while drawing attention to one more novel approach ally
educate readers about the potential pitfalls of idea developing a community without considering factors.
