into consideration. The population pattern in the more northern regions of Canada is sparse, and significantly less populated than southern areas of Canada, such as a neighbourhood in Surrey, BC, because…

The Real Secret One of the most persistent examples of a modern myth is the story of Area 51, a military base located in Nevada. Area 51 conspiracy theorists believe the national security site is hiding that they are harvesting UFOs recovered alien spaceships. Undoubtedly something secret was going on at Area 51, but the real cover-up has nothing to do with UFOs. According to many veterans’ recollections, Area 51 is an alleged crime scene due to secret testing, burning of exotic substances, and…

The world financial plaza needs a new quote on their fences on the Hudson River. At the moment the quote in the fence says, "City of the Sea!¦City of wharves and stores-city of tall facades of marble and iron! Proud and passionate city! mettlesome, mad, extravagant city!" It is always good to change things up. The quote should be changed, but it should still come from the famous words of Walt Whitman. As everyone knows New York City is one of the most competitive places on earth. You need…

Late eighteenth and early nineteenth century marked a time of great urbanization in America. Between 1860 and 1910, the population of cities increased from six million to forty-four million. Two factors had contributed to such growth: industrialization and immigration.

This, therefore, reduced the amount of laborers required. Unable to compete…

than 50 years now, a drastic change in the population transitioning from cities to the suburbs has been occurring. After 1950, this movement originally gained momentum and become the leading demographic style for nearly all-crucial U.S. metropolitan areas. This migration has pushed many more Americans to live in the suburbs now than any other location in the states. Today, a good amount of middle-class African Americans have moved out to the suburbs but the most common people who branch out…

Coming from a populated city and area I was intrigued at the opportunity to learn about something that would be completely new to me. I grew up barely outside of Rochester Minnesota, which is an hour and a half south of the cities. Rochester, as I see it, is a city within a rural area. My definition and your definition of rural are two completely different things. Thus, when you first asked us to describe three words that we thought of when we heard the term rural I put down: Farm, Farmer, and…

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.

The close of WWII created the phenomon of sprawl in the United States. Urban sprawl existed long before this time but the U.S. took this idea and ran with it. Social needs and economic policies ramped up the spread of domestic sprawl. There are volumes of research that link urban sprawl with increased vehicle travel, material use, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. Although there is a considerable amount of empirical data that coorelates these increases from an urban sprawl…
