History
The first concepts of built environment date from the Mesopotamian civilization, in which settlements of nomadic hunters began to populate the eastern Mediterranean zones which is known today as Iraq. The first appearance of built civilization began around 3500 BC and 500 AD in the wake of the Neolithic revolution. The Neolithic revolution was the emergence of agriculture and animal domestication in several small Mediterranean regions following the passage of numerous nomadic communities converting from a hunting/gathering to industrialization. Due to the establishment of nomadic communities, Mesopotamian communities started to develop cities that would support the cultivation of new plants, farming, and urbanization.  '''The Mesopotamian civilization created communities based on the industrialization of agriculture. The Nile river become the melting pot of cultures as a result of the Neolithic revolution. The primitive civilization of Mesopotamia''' gave way to the City Beautiful movement in the late 1800s and early 1900s, inspired by Daniel Hudson Burnham. Burnham was a reformist for the Progressivism movement who actively promoted a " landscape reform in tandem of political change." The movement of the beautiful city was influenced by the 1893 world's Columbian exposition in Chicago, which emphasized the significant importance of atheistic enjoyment being a focal point of cities, and revolutionizing architecture. The beautiful city movement was a primary focal point for others who believed that beautifying American cities would improve the moral scope of urban cities and encourage the upper class to spend money in their communities. Followed by what Alexander Donald described as a late twentieth century "revival of interest relating to the concept of place (including the built environment), and its relevance to mental health and other fields of study." Mid-century modernist designs influenced the character of work and public spaces in embellishing urban cities, including the restoration of and architectural design.
