This lecture explores the transition from the paleotechnical phase to the neotechnical phase, focusing on the impact of fossil fuels on industrial revolutions. It delves into the development of industrial clusters, the role of coal and petroleum, and the emergence of new energy sources. The discussion also covers the evolution of urbanism theories, including culturalism, progressism, and naturalism, as well as the concepts of regional planning and the impact of the second industrial revolution on automation and energy efficiency.
