Some people say that there is a difference between urban and suburban sprawl. Mrs. Lowry states that urban and suburban sprawl is the same thing as urban sprawl is people leaving the cities for housing options that allow them to spread out more but still close enough to the city to work. This is exactly was suburban sprawl is. However, suburban areas encourage more commuting as it takes longer to get from place to place, which increases gas emissions, and using farmlands as land for new housing…

suburbs and commute to work, often making it possible for middle-class families to leave the city (Jackson, 1985). Although once considered to be a disseminate and even a poverty magnet, transit is increasingly viewed as a desirable amenity for an urban neighborhood. Households may prefer transit-rich neighborhoods because of the added ease of commuting or traveling to other parts of the city or metropolitan area. The area adjacent…

population and development. As population increases, so will the need for housing and recreational space; this is the feature that made Markham’s urban design livable. At 9500 Markham Rd., the construction of Upper Village Condominium is occurring and already has one of the two condominiums built. This is an effective example of successful livability in urban design, because it’s cheaper to live in than a mansion, includes convenient retail shops and surrounded by other commercial land uses, and…

Urban cities are now being followed by negative consequences of unstructured urbanization. Rising levels of population have dramatically caused huge alarming stages of pollution. Densely populated areas are harming the planet’s environment. Public transports…

Nowadays it is difficult to live in big cities without using the transport. It is well-known fact that in metropolises the transportation system is developed well. In almost every big city there are a buses, metro, taxes and great number of personal cars. The fast enlargement of citizens leads to increasing number of cars. Thus, statistic, provided The World Bank, says that the number of motor vehicles per 1000 people in 2011 in the USA was 786, whereas the year earlier it was 782. In…

New urbanism is a technique for designing our built environment and reforming it in such a way that it leads to a better standards of living for us and improve the quality of our life in the places we live. It primarily focuses on reducing the urban sprawl which arises because of the low rise development in some areas. New urbanism promotes the idea of high rise development in areas so that there can be a planned development and we could make the best use of land as far as possible. The…

factors affecting urban morphology, and then focus on social factors, from the micro and macro perspectives to explore the impact of social factors on the city. Taking China's siheyuan as an example, the essay will analyze how the urban architectural form is affected by the social factors in detail. Finally, draw conclusions and explore how contemporary architectural design can draw on the above experience. Background Natural factors are one of the main factors influencing the urban…

4.1.3 Urbanization and population size Urbanization and population size are closely linked to the land economic density and they are the important factors to increase the economic density. With the accelerated development of the urbanization, more and more rural population swarms into city, which will ask for more housing and a good living environment quality objectively, so that the building area is expanding gradually in space. In addition, in the process of urbanization, with the production…
