The stress inflicted to sustain the economic power resulted to an individual's depression. Basically,…

controversial topic within regeneration, defined by a variety of urban planners and architects alike. Smith and Williams (1986, p.3) describe the process of gentrification as dynamic, which cannot be constrained to a simple definition. ‘Gentrification of the City’ (Smith and Williams, 1986) explores the idea of gentrification as made up of several layers and developments that can only be understood if the links between one another are inferred. The concept of gentrification consists of the…

As the 19th century drew to a close, numerous English cities, one being London, England, transformed from being a rural society to an urban society. The rapid development of cities served as both a rising and uniting factor in advanced economic, political and social life. In modern times, urbanization is rapidly growing, thus creating megacities like Wuhan, China with a population of nine million inhabitants.

New “Irishness” emerged in the Late 1990’s with the rise of the Celtic Tiger. A surging national economy helped to rapidly transform an Irish society. Not only was the Irish culture to change, this also lead to major changes in the landscape and urban areas particularly in Dublin. The “New Irishness” attitude that was formed was a more profit driven, business orientated, efficient Ireland in comparison to the pre-Celtic Tiger era (Negra 2010). Where once, Ireland commercialised itself with…

1. Introduction Walking is the oldest form of urban transport, and until the advent of major transformations in transport technology in the nineteenth century, most cities were structured in ways that supported walkability (Newman and Kenworthy 1999).

As concern for future urban sustainability…

In countries with a fragile ecology, the intensive production technology of urban farming and its capacity to absorb urban…

transportation. We will learn what it took to get some of the newer cities going. Urban growth took off with population growth, increased agricultural productivity, factory production, and low-cost transportation. The population growth was rapid among the urban areas. For the most part it had to do with new technologies. One example was the agricultural technology that would involve fewer farmers on the field. The farmers then would seek work in the city where factories were coming into…
