Global History Of Urban Design I Practice Test

Which item is NOT listed among the new urban figures of Baroque urban design?

The boulevard The ordonnances The royal square The garden city

Correct Answer:

The garden city

Explanation:

Baroque urban design organizes city space around monumental, ceremonial routes and hubs. The boulevard is used to extend perspective and parade routes, the ordonnances regulate streets and façades to create unity and order, and the royal square provides a grand focal point for display of power and public ritual. The garden city doesn't fit this Baroque toolkit; it comes from later reform movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, emphasizing green suburbs and self-contained communities rather than Baroque-scale urban figures.
