Not only do these urban Americans have to face these harsh living conditions and disease issues, but they also got to face dangerous working conditions and crimes that are being committed. America's new look as an urban nation.…

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…

By the 1990’s apartment or loft living within Sydney had begun to influence a global, economic, cultural and political shift in the processes of large-scale property development. This shift created a new, but also exclusionary way to live within the city (Shaw, 2006). Like Sydney, many other countries across the globe were experiencing a similar shift in thinking. In New York, the recent real-estate boom has lead to a shift in the housing price and living costs in the area with rising rents, and…

D.C. When early colonial America began to form, a city plan was not always drafted in order to begin building, but when city plans were created, they reflected the needs of those who planned to settle the area. The city plan for Washington D.C. as well as the plan for Philadelphia serve as good examples because of the early documentation available from the architects, which details the feelings and ideas that the architects have about the cities they are planning. In the depiction of Washington…

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.

The capacity for Bogota to rapidly improve road safety at a city level was facilitated by…

1. Margaret Wente moved to Toronto in 1964, she found the city to be so exiting and the most “exotic” place she had ever lived in. Wente was from a suburban area outside of Chicago and had not met many people who are not white. When she arrived in Toronto she felt like the city was bursting with different people from different cultures. She would soak up the coffee shops and unique people walking along the lakeshore boardwalk, mesmerized by the women in burkas or the young mixed…

After the first mechanized cotton mill was open in 1780, Manchester, England became the biggest textile manufacturer. Industrialization had many benefits for the city, but also had many consequences. Manchester's population in 1750 was 18,000, and by 1851, the population had risen to over 300,000. Most of the population were immigrants and the working class. With the big population, people needed jobs and homes, but the working and living conditions were not healthy or suitable. Even though…

in general, while advocating for further conservation water measures. Chapter 10’s Community Design delves into how neighborhoods, urban sprawl, and streets are designed around cities in the East Central Florida area and how they connect with the “main square” of the street grid patterns from the four corners of each city and town.

council improvements to the area. The transport within the area has changed quite a lot as now it is well visited and not an “outsider community”. The ferry wharf has now grown and public buses are operated by the Government that go in and out of the city and all around NSW. This also allows the children of Manly access education easier. The education has greatly improved as well as now some of Sydney's top selective schools are now run in Manly borders. This is how the community of Manly has…
