Traffic congestion

My paper focuses on the problems related to sustainability associated with American suburbia and solutions for these issues. I have lived in both urban and suburban settings and am interested in researching the fundamental differences between the two lifestyles and acknowledging advantages and disadvantages of each. While it has been predicted that more and more young couples will decide to raise their children in urban settings, the actual numbers lag behind predictions as the young couples…

Although the wealthy are affected by the over crowed population and traffic congestion in the city, the wealthy will never be affected by condition the poor people experience as they are deprived of the basic need in the city slums. The people living in the slums are also affected by those whom are taking advantage of their…

Designing a More Inclusive City The article by Allison Arief on the need to build an inclusive city that accommodates the needs of the people gives us a good example to demonstrate the presence of the argumentative aspects in logic.
