Early life in the urban cities of the US were a whole other world compared to what the cities are today. In the early 1800s, the US population in urbanized areas were about 300,000, with a total population peaking roughly at 5 million. By 1900 the population had spiked to about 30 million with 40 percent of it citizens living in urbanized areas.

Is in stake due to the fact that our population is fast urbanizing and fast doing away with tribal customs and traditions. But it is increasingly becoming apparent that we cannot have customary land tenure system in urban areas in Tanzania. The case law on this is abound and the provision on restricting customary right of occupancy to village land (S.14 of Act No. 5) further reinforces this argument.

school system documented in a film called, “Corridor of Shame.” The film is about rural area schools along 1-95 in South Carolina in 2005 but looks like schools on a slave planation. The film highlights overworked and grossly underpaid teachers and administrators as well as the plight of the children in these dilapidated learning conditions. Since then, local, state and national leaders have visited the area and pledged support. The question is, “In May of 2016, has there been any improvements…

Analysis on Dos Lagos Areas The development of human history is always filled with fundamental and unexpected transformations. The rise of suburbs is just a case in point. Before the 18th century, the word suburb mainly represented a “subordinate and inferior part of the city where odious activities and marginal people congregated” (Fishman, 2006).

Introduction The impacts of urbanization are felt not only on a global scale, but on a local scale as well. Specifically, in the recent past, there has been much research on large metropolitan areas and their response to urbanization (Liu 2015). These responses can be measured in various ways: air quality, vegetation health, water quality/management, etc. The responses are far reaching, but more importantly, they are interconnected. For example, air quality is dependent upon the health of…

their bank account. Not only is this an issue in the developed world, but also it has a large influence on the developing world. I noticed this on my trip to Ecuador with my school in which I spend a month in both urban society and rural society. The wide range of economic disparity demonstrated through the difference in living conditions was a clear indication of the inequality between the rural and urban people in Ecuador. Not only have I experienced great economic inequality on a personal…

These benefits include job opportunities, better standards of living, better healthcare, and better schools. 90% of the UKs population is currently living in urban areas like towns or cities. (BBC Bitesize, 2014) Along with the benefits, urbanisation has several…

there was a common problem among the architects: how to limit the amount of sunlight that comes into a building. The solution came out from Le Corbusier's habitation that is using concrete and brise-soleil which blocks the sun from overheating the area. The concrete buildings play a crucial role in the twenty-first century, as most of the buildings around the world descend from the Le Corbusier's Unité d'habitation. The Modulor is also an important system to the architects. The system is based…
