In the Age Newspaper on the 7th of January 2014 an article called “Sydney cosmopolitanism drives boom in apartment living” by Susan Wellings, highlighted the increasing cultural diversity within Sydney and the force it has been placing upon the popularity of new apartments. While it was once the dream to own a free standing house, there has been a shift in opinion with many now fantasizing about a great apartment somewhere nearby transport, shops and cafes (Wellings, 2014). Wellings goes on to…

The concept of road safety as a public policy issue emerged in the 1990s as a response to the high homicide rates in the city. In this context, violence is considered a public health problem. The mayor and local government officials focused on road safety after realizing that many deaths were caused by road collisions. This is how the Citizenship Culture principle that “Life is sacred” emerged and became the policy framework to address road safety issues through public engagement programs. The…

Oh, how the times have changed. My once small and serene neighborhood is transforming into an expansive and raucous city of its very own. Yes, the hospitable community of Julington Creek is gone forever, instead being exchanged for the bustling city life. My home, Julington Creek, is now a vastly different area than it was when I first moved to Florida, it is growing at an uncontrollable rate, loosing sizable plots of wooded land, and has lost its true identity as a community. When I first moved…

that may result. ‘Urban sprawl’ is such an issue, defined as the ‘expanding of a population from an urban community towards rural areas surrounding the community.’ This expansion is driven by the need to accommodate a city’s growing population and also for financial gains. The issue of urban sprawl has various detrimental impacts that has affected us in environmental, economical, and even health-related ways. How does urban sprawl affect Canada as a whole in the future? First, urban sprawl…

A sanctuary city is a city, like San Francisco, that does not turn in illegal aliens to ICE (immigration and customs enforcement). This gives lawbreakers a place to hide from the law and federal government. Some people think that sanctuary cities are a benefit to America and some beg to differ. One end of the spectrum believes that these cities are good for America, while some hate it. The main issue people have with sanctuary cities is immigration. Some believe in the protection of illegals…

used to employ most of the green space in the city. However, when the new apartments were being constructed they were not designed to have any green spaces. Urban sprawl breaks up the relationship between humans and the environment. Sprawl causes an increase in city commuting time. In 1980 Tehran’s government was forced to expand the range of urban services provided to the sprawled settlements (Roshan, Rousta, Remesh 2009, 310-321) Tehran’s Strategic Plan is a twenty-year sustainability…

the development of specific proposals (Macdonald, 2008). This system allowed the firm to apply Bartholomew’s science to each community (Lovelace, 1993). Eldridge Lovelace, employee and author of Harland Bartholomew: His Contributions to American Urban Planning, believed that it was this systematic approach that established Bartholomew as an authority in the planning profession. Lovelace states that: “The application of an orderly and logical system or science to the preparation of the…

commoner. This was the urban plan, or the central idea of the design of the city. Since this was a capital city in the Egyptian empire, the nobles cannot be living at the same level or area as the people they rule over. That would be a disgrace! The city designers too this ideal and made all their designs for the city around that image. When any large metropolitan area is created, the organization of necessary buildings and spaces are always taken into consideration. This urban plan has many…

and greenhouses need to be made all through out the inner city, good healthy food is an important part of of healthy diet. There are many urban farms but do people don’t really know about them or care.Being easily accessible could be some peoples problem. And is it cheap to buy food from them? Those are all questions that need to be thought about for an urban farm to fulfill the needs of the people. About eighteen minutes away from inner city detroit is a good market where a food share is…

In this section, we discuss the relationship between congestion and regional growth by focusing on the estimation results. As shown in figure 3, we predict how growth of population and employment density change in the 86 largest U.S. metropolitan area when the congestion growth changes. Figure 3 presents that population growth of the largest U.S. cities would decline, whereas employment growth would continue to increase when congestion growth increases. These results indicate that population…
