Cape Town

As society develops and changes with modernity so to does the flow of the city, residential and rural areas. Due to the rise in suburbia and the bourgeois commuter there has been altered movements within the city changing the original purpose of the city and promoting collective groups of communities that exist on the edge of a larger city. Suburbanization grew in the times of the Depression and WWII as well as the developments of technology. Automobiles became available which allowed people to…

therefore the plot twist occurring at the end leaves us extremely consternated. Shirley Jackson carefully describes the setting without omitting the smallest details such as the temperature, the town square, the crowd standing between the post office and the bank. She gives the exact number of people living in the town, the date, the time, the neighboring villages. This enumeration of details, names and rules dictated by Mr. Summers divert the readers’ attention…

why some may be put off from moving to a country town, are the types of careers or sometimes the lack of. In most small towns the job or career oppritunites have taken a great blow, we can take Quesnel for example. A lot of mills have shut down causing workers to be laid off, many would not want to be moving into a town where there are already unemployed individuals looking for jobs. It does not mean there are no job opprotunities at all in small towns,Sandra Ruiz, who is an event coordinator…

If I could choose one way to improve Ulysses, I would create more jobs for local citizens. I would build an industrial park complex. Depending on how big the complex is, it could create many new businesses in our community. Most likely, it would start out small and grow! Industrial parks are used to influence businesses to move into them to better the community. It would be smaller scale than you would see in the suburbs and cities, but it would have many positive effects on our community.…

libraries. This means you’re either too drunk to read, or too Christian to read anything good. Big enough to have a mayor’s house, but not big enough to be on any map of any kind, it’s the kind of town where everyone knows your name and basically everything about you. Danielsville is the kind of town that if there was a wedding, there’d be no point in not inviting someone, because they’d probably end up being someone’s plus one anyway.…

During the 1880’s, St. Petersburg was a pine scrub village wanting to become a city. Northerner’s relocating to this town transformed it with their new ideas and cultural aspects. In the 1890’s, the location that was soon to become City Park was undesired because of its high grass, mud, puddles, and roaming wild animals. Wanting to make the park part of the community, in 1893 a group of women formed the Park Improvement Association. One of their projects was the William’s Park Bandstand which…

rural I put down: Farm, Farmer, and Corn. Up to that moment that is all I really thought of when it came to rural. I think this can be traced back to the towns surrounding Rochester. This brings me back to my AP Geography class that I took as a sophomore and the idea of settlement hierarchy. With Rochester being a smaller city, we had plenty of towns and villages surrounding us. Each day on my way to school I would see rows of corn and thought that is what rural America is like. Oh boy was I…

Towards the end of the 1960’s the draw of the suburbs was beginning to gut the middle of most American cities. As the 1970’s wore on a plethora of reasons such as crime, job losses, and racism made them all the more attractive. Cities appeared to be dying. Then a strange thing happened, in the mid-1990’s crime began to drop rapidly and people began moving back to cities. Today cities like New York that were on the brink of collapse are thriving. Even stranger, because of the recession post 2000…

Small Town Communities Living in a small rural community like Ellendale has been a great influence on my life. The small town life has been fun and makes me want to come back. The ability to ride bike from one side of the town to the other is also another convenience of living in this community. The support for local sports teams in small towns is also very good. Families and people who don’t have kids playing still come and cheer on their hometown team. It creates a very good relationship…

As population increases, it causes the urban Americans to face many issues. Tenement housing is created to house the populated cities. Many people are squeezed into these small apartments. Disease spreads quickly due to these living conditions. Not only do these urban Americans have to face these harsh living conditions and disease issues, but they also got to face dangerous working conditions and crimes that are being committed. America's new look as an urban nation.…
