Moses was basically New York’s mastermind of city planning and design. Moses used the State Act of 1924, which he drafted, to give himself essentially “unprecedented (and to the hapless legislator, unappreciated) powers to appropriate land” (Hall,1993). And although O’Malley could find support among many other New York officials, Moses would not budge on a new stadium. It is clear that Moses had a vision for the city of Brooklyn, and the large 52,000 seat stadium O’Malley desired…

Since the end of World War II, much of the rise and fall of American cities has been documented. As Keynesian economic policies began to fail, cities such as, Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and Seattle began implementing new strategies to recover their urban areas. Although many differences exist between these cities, one prevailing ideology is alike to all, neoliberalism. Neoliberalism is simply defined as an ideological rejection of egalitarian liberalism in general and the Keynesian…

Did you know that the community that you live in will affect you or your kids will become. For example, in you or your kids see someone litter that could lead to you or your kids to litter. Today in this essay we will be talking about adding more community centers, more playgrounds/ kid hangouts and finally what we could do with the mall of the bluffs. If I were mayor I would add more community centers because it would help a lot with keeping kids out of gangs and keeping up with grades and…

The final case study is about urban development in Davis, California. Urban development does not take place in a vacuum, and it is important to be sure that established assumptions about the development process are manifestly accurate. Property developers usually have their way, large corporations do homogenise the American landscape with indistinguishable retail outlets, and entrepreneurs, landowners, mainstream media, and local government also support this type of growth. In other words, what…

“The Crusades - the most signal and most durable monument of human folly that has yet appeared in any age or nation.” (David Hume) Typically, historians question the events of history, how they happened, when they happened, or even if they happened. In the case of the Holy Crusades, however, the events, and how they occurred are not the source of contention amongst historians. Instead, the motivating factors that initiated the Holy Crusades are under scrutiny. Religion and its involvement…

Between the 1090’s and 1300, Europe bared witness to generationally occurring Holy Wars. The movements were, and still are, primarily deemed as Christian influenced persecutions, but if examined closer it is the use of propaganda and position that is found behind the push of the crusades. Holy men—who at times paired with ruling monarchs—pursued papal power and extended territories in the name of God. The corruption that poisoned the church was obvious to many who witnessed it and church…

I opted to conduct my rhetorical analysis and evaluation on the Emergency Preparedness poster from the Ad Council. The print ad or poster in question shows a town that a tornado has ripped through, with markers showing where members of a hypothetical family are located. The message of this particular ad piece is quite simple, in the event of a serious emergency; know where your family is. This in itself speaks to a need in all of us to be connected to our loved ones, especially in a time of…
