Some people believe it's better to grow up in a small town, but others think differently. I like smaller towns because everybody knows everybody, in school you may be able to get extra help that you need, and people usually have similar career types.

You can take up the same hobbies as them and do things together such as hunting, fishing, and possibly sport if…

Points of Interest There are several details in this story which raised doubt with both the parents of the children and the local police department. When the children departed for Glenely Beach in the morning of January 26th, they left with only enough money to cover their bus fare: six shilling and a sixpence. However, the shop owner, who sold several pastries and a meat pie to the children at 11:45am, reported that the children paid for the food with a $1 bill, an amount of money that they…

The neighborhood you live in during your prime development stages is crucial to the type of person you will become in the future. The impact is so great that it has created stereotypes and social innuendos for the people that live in these communities. My philosophy about these two neighborhoods as well as any is that they are very much similar in the fact that they both raise up children with different values and mindsets. However, despite what most people think, this is actually a beneficial…

downtown’s network of streets and public spaces. 1 Key Issue: Urban Structure Challenges: A city’s urban structure is comprised of its places and their connections; the neighborhoods, focal points and districts which act as destinations within the city and the streets, corridors and open space networks that organize them.

Analysis of the why do the poor live in cities argument In modern society public transportation gets its consideration day after day. In his essay “Why do the poor live in cities? The role of public transportation” published 19 January 2007, Edward suggests that “more than 19 percent of people in American central cities are poor. In suburbs, just 7.5 percent of people live in poverty”. Unbelievably, the majority of the poor people decide to live in cities rather than rural or suburban areas…

Since the early 1970’s , American cities have experienced constant urban growth despite the Urban Sprawl which resulted in many Americans moving away from urban cities, and into low density neighborhoods. This phenomenon which intrigued many urban observers known as Gentrification, resulted in not only urban city growth, but it also had varied effects on city life, income rates and including culture.

populated area. In a sparsely populated area, shops, housing, community centres, and schools and other places of work would be spread apart more, and you might have to travel further to reach place that you would in a densely populated area, such as a city. Depending on where you live, densely populated areas might also have better living conditions. Governments might want to provide more funding where more live, and…

Before I began my job at Independence Hall, I arrived at Market Street where I was greeted by my crew leaders Mel and Jenny. The rest of my crew members arrived and we made our way to Independence National Historic Park Headquarters. Toni, the park’s landscape architect, introduced herself to the crew. She shared…

Aequalitatem, which translates to "equality" in Latin, is a perfect utopia. The city is located on a large island near the Equator and makes the most of what the land mass provides it. A dormant volcano, rich volcanic soil, lush vegetation, and access to ocean water all create an environment where a self-sustainable, well-organized civilization can thrive. The citizens highly value equality and respect each other, work efficiently, and follow the rules created for them by the Ducibus (council).…
