Is in stake due to the fact that our population is fast urbanizing and fast doing away with tribal customs and traditions. But it is increasingly becoming apparent that we cannot have customary land tenure system in urban areas in Tanzania. The case law on this is abound and the provision on restricting customary right of occupancy to village land (S.14 of Act No. 5) further reinforces this argument. The Village Land Act No. 5 of 1999 provides for the…

school system documented in a film called, “Corridor of Shame.” The film is about rural area schools along 1-95 in South Carolina in 2005 but looks like schools on a slave planation. The film highlights overworked and grossly underpaid teachers and administrators as well as the plight of the children in these dilapidated learning conditions. Since then, local, state and national leaders have visited the area and pledged support. The question is, “In May of 2016, has there been any improvements…

Analysis on Dos Lagos Areas The development of human history is always filled with fundamental and unexpected transformations. The rise of suburbs is just a case in point. Before the 18th century, the word suburb mainly represented a “subordinate and inferior part of the city where odious activities and marginal people congregated” (Fishman, 2006).

Introduction The impacts of urbanization are felt not only on a global scale, but on a local scale as well. Specifically, in the recent past, there has been much research on large metropolitan areas and their response to urbanization (Liu 2015). These responses can be measured in various ways: air quality, vegetation health, water quality/management, etc. The responses are far reaching, but more importantly, they are interconnected. For example, air quality is dependent upon the health of…

this large increase of wealth creates a large amount of economic inequality. The gap between the wealthy and the poor is quite frightening and I personally believe is extremely unfair. The mean income of the Richest percent is on average 25 times greater that those of the poorest percent (Li, 2010). I find these figures quite confronting due to the fact that a rapidly developing nation such as China is leaving so many citizen in the dark with the recent increase in wealth. I believe that China’s…

The Good the Bad and the Ugly City dwellers take pride in the cultural advancements of their urban society.

there was a common problem among the architects: how to limit the amount of sunlight that comes into a building. The solution came out from Le Corbusier's habitation that is using concrete and brise-soleil which blocks the sun from overheating the area. The concrete buildings play a crucial role in the twenty-first century, as most of the buildings around the world descend from the Le Corbusier's Unité d'habitation. The Modulor is also an important system to the architects. The system is based…

For centuries, urban planning has played a key role in developing human well-being as well as protecting the environment, public welfare and especially residents. Houses, schools, parks, buildings, surrounding environment including transportation, air, water and infrastructure affect people’s lives.
