Urban refers to the built up space of a central city and its suburbs. It has a lack of agricultural area and is distinctly non-rural. Urban geography has four subfields that will be discussed in this summary. The first is the history of urbanization. Next, is intraurban geography, followed by interurban geography. The final subfield is urban planning and policy. Why do people live in cities and when did they start? Before urbanization, people where clustered in agricultural villages and were…

Cysticercosis is characterized as a parasitic infection caused by the larval stage of Taenia solium. The infection of cystistercus in swine is known as porcine cysticercosis; the infection of cystistercus in humans is known as human cysticercosis. The transmission of this zoonosis disease occurs through the ingestion of T. solium eggs that has been passed from tapeworm-infested fecal matter from humans.

Whyte has a very different approach than these two described so far. Whyte only extrapolated conclusions from evidence based on non-objective observations. He would set up time-lapse cameras to track the movement and patterns occurring in a plaza or urban space. He could then determine the popular areas where certain groups of people would congregate, and the time it would normally take place. For example, in the case of the city plaza, people tended to stay in direct sunlight on fair weather…

Firstly, Davis analyzes how slums have caused four main macroscale shifts between societies…

Hence, many cities like Singapore, New York, and Tokyo are facing the issue of scarcity of land. One might say that many countries have abundant land in the form of forests and farms, which can be transformed into an urban land someday, but land is not created equal. Singapore and Hong Kong are of the most densely populated cities in the…

Excessive Planning in the Urban Future: Obstacles to Urban Utopia The utopian-style planning of the urban future has embraced principle, and abandoned practicality. In order to form utopian cities, the planners of urban areas like Brasília and Delhi proposed detailed urban plans that have mostly ignored market factors in favor of heightened urban regulations. In the case of Brasília, these regulations, designed to further the city’s utopian conception, have actually had the opposite effect.…
