Reflection of Resilience Thinking in Urbanism Researches as Urban Resilience Resilience in the city, entitled “urban resilience”, is defined as the capacity of cities to continue their activity under extreme pressure regardless of the type of shock or stress they face, so that the people who live and work within the cities, especially the poor and the vulnerable, can survive and grow steadily (The Rockefeller Foundation, 2014). In recent researches, the latest definition of urban resilience…

Small towns are both negative and positive. There will be some positive things about a small town and some negative things about a small town. There are many reasons why a small town would be good, but there are just as many reasons why it would be bad. Here are some positive things about a small town and some negative. One positive thing about a small town would be less population. It is great to have a small population because if there are to many people there would not be any room. Scene…

urbanized heart of Toronto, the change of architecture was noticeable. In the suburbs there are many multi-story houses, in residential neighborhoods. But when traveling south, bungalows were more common. This is because as urbanization continues, new home are being built along the suburbs, whereas older bungalows remain from a time before. Aside from building differences, the landscape also changed, the landscape is generally smoother and flatter closer to downtown. Additionally, the main uses…

“The Judge’s Wife” is set in a rustic Latin-American town that’s just large enough to have a town square, but small enough so that none of the town’s inhabitants are ignorant to the drama this story entails. Allende gives no explicit details about the town besides the fact that there is a courthouse, a bank, and a corner shop owned by a Turkish woman. Instead, she uses her adept skill of imagery to paint a picture of this town, a place that modern time has seemingly passed by. Modern time, that…

not even begin to realize. For starters, in a “True Story,” Aunt Rachel was able to reunite with her son Henry and gain her freedom. However, in “Editha,” Editha lost her fiancé in the war in part to some action of her for wanting him to go and the towns people expecting the very same. Therefore, I find that I agree with the authors for the most part on what they are trying to say about war and the cost it has on everyone involved, surrounding those who are involved, and those who are pulled in…

The major aspect of a large metropolis is the fact that it encompasses various activities ranging from personal to social. Actually, most of it involves having to sacrifice their distinctiveness in an endeavor to fit in such scenarios. However, Georg Simmel portrays a different side of a large metropolis, whereby it does not only influence the emotional aspects of its occupants, but also their cognitive lives. Moreover, the hustle and bustle of such cities bring impacts most individual’s sense…

Warram Percy is one of the largest deserted medieval village in the middle age. Located in North Yorkshire, England; the village has been settled since prehistory (Bronze Age) and became very active during 10th-12th century when the members of the noble family Percy lived in the village. The Percy began the building of the South Manor, the foundation of the adjacent planned row of peasant houses, and improvements to the church. Then they further improved the village by building the North Manor…

analyzing the map I realized that the map only showed two major towns, but there are more than two major towns in Kentucky. It only shows Louisville and Lexington as the two major towns. I do not know if the reason for that is because that is where the two main Colleges are located University of Kentucky and University of Louisville or what. I know for a fact that Bowling Green is a major town as well as Elizabeth Town. Elizabeth Town is the town that Fort Knox is located. Another disadvantage…

aged a bit but have, in fact, grown to become a symbol for the town’s beautiful Sinclair Lewis Park. The two are part of a fountain piece in one section of the park which also includes a playground, picnic area, fishing pier and campground. While towns near Sauk Centre have some sort of green space, few match the beauty, the versatility, and usability of the five city parks. The parks have something to offer people of all ages and even accommodate large family and group gatherings. I believe…

I currently reside in Markham, the city is a part of York Region and is located just north of Toronto. I moved there at the end of eighth grade, and since then it has been my hometown. Markham is a boring place to be, rarely does anything eventful ever happens, and there is really nothing to do, there is a mall, a theatre and occasionally there’s a festival, which is pretty much it. This is aided by the fact that crime is low in the city, there are few murders and little robberies, with most…
