Advantages And Disadvantages Of Urban Land Delivery System For Housing Development In The Jika Town

If a community is developed on a parcel of land that is not suitable that community will experience a decline overtime in terms of its population and value to its respective municipality. A successful community is one that is built in an area that provides residents with employment opportunities, security, primary relationships and within proximity to services such as educational or health. For example, if a community was developed in Northern Ontario where there is limited development it would hinder the growth of that community since areas in Northern Ontario are primarily agriculture and self-sustained. Developers will conduct research to project and forecast the outcome of a residential development in terms of sales, feasibility, project design, demand and ensuring housing products will match the land (Guerard, 2005). Three of the main factors developers consider prior to purchasing a parcel of land is employment trends, population data, and supply/demand (Guerard, 2005). The research that goes behind acquiring a parcel of land for development is important in ensuring that the community being developed is successful based on the area it is being built

This is when both land use and the building density gets regulate by the local government. This has attracted developers because most of the zones have been marked as under developed. Research shows that over 300 single families are in the under developed zones. This means that the developers can buy these single homes and build storey's that will accommodate many families without the

This source’s intended audience might be geographers who research for the lifestyle of these contemporary people. Where they were settling down depends on various factors (weather, source of food and water, natural resource), therefore, can draw the attention to the real estate agents to exploit potential resource and make an investment in this land.

With reference to examples, assess the degree to which the level of economic development of a country affects planning and management in urban areas.

Market needs: To follow the client wishes, due to the highly raising prices of real estate, we were considering building affordable housing. Also, another option is to construct offices for the city to use.

4.) The weakest parts of the article arise from two areas. Firstly, the authors focus very heavily on the physical representation of these areas in order to determine reinvestment and level of gentrification which ignores non-physical issues of investment and property value. Secondly, the authors, due to having such a small sample size, only focused on a small list of factors and could have taken more local political and social issues into consideration during their

We have already seen increase prices for properties in the inner city. As the prices continue to rise, this will make houses less and less affordable. Bernard Salt (2001), declare that this revival will only last another 10 to 15 years, after that the market demand will fade. More important even if the trend doesn’t change, it will mean that more high-medium density dwelling needs to be constructed to satisfy the demand. Consequently, this will threatens the available green space in the metropolitan area.

With reference to examples, discuss the degree to which the level od economic development in country affects planning and management in urban areas.

Before this class I never gave a second to think about how and why people decide where to live. I thought people went looking for houses and bought the house they liked. I didn’t know all the other factors that went into finding a place to live. But truthfully I didn’t really care. I now believe the interaction of economic development strategies and spatial form in urban environments comes down to three things. It comes down to appealing to different people and cultures, segregation and inequality, and the three T’s of development (technology, talent, and tolerance).

Gentrification is a general term for the arrival of wealthier people in an existing urban district, a related increase in rents and property values, and changes in the district’s character and culture. The word draws controversy not only in its definition and meaning but also in the impact it has among human social life. It is a practice that is of ancient origin and has withstood the challenges of evolving times and is still practiced in the contemporary world. Proposers and opponents alike of the gentrifying phenomena take advantage of the numerous myths and misconceptions that surround the practice to advance their arguments. Urban planners have rooted for the inclusion of gentrification as one of the pillars of urban growth. With better economic status- better roads, better water supply system, better healthcare, reduced criminal activities and an overall uplifting of the quality of life economically- it is hard to argue against an overall gain from gentrification. Yet with all this, it has been the source of a lot of widespread animosity between social classes. It has also been blamed for a lot of cultural values erosion with in some instances complete override of the indigenous ways of life that the original inhabitants subscribed to. Green development is an urban development approach that utilizes green infrastructural growth and is aimed at alleviating negative impacts, or ideally have a net positive impact, on the environment and nearby ecosystems.

(15) Unfortunately, due to the lack of resources it is house projects like this that are often referred to as slums. Jacobs explains that ideally tax money would be used to fix the communities and allow for beautification. However due to economical stance of many neighborhoods and the city planning ideology it seems close to impossible. Jacobs writes “Bankers, like planers have theories about cities on which they act… They are enlightened

Development: As the population grows there is need for urban development which could be intrusive on the

Distinctive residential areas occur through housing types, 87% of houses on Jersey street are terraced houses, this is due to the position of Jersey Street on the bid rent curve model. Of the three roads we are analysing, Jersey Street is the closest to the CBD. Because of this the competition for land and space is high, leading to high land values. Jersey Street has the smallest houses of the three streets, with little or no garden space, this is due to the competition for space in the inner city. On the land-use models we are studying, Jersey Street is situated on the boundary of the industrial area and the twilight zone. Evidence of this is that at the end of Jersey Street there are multiple blocks of flats and low quality housing from

Throughout the 20th century, mass amounts of people moved from rural to urban areas worldwide for a variety of reasons. This massive influx caused urbanization to occur in cities that were originally smaller in population as compared to global cities (Davis 7). While this may be seemly beneficial, these smaller cities often did not have the infrastructure or the economic opportunities to support, in some cases, over a million people in such a short time. What this lead to was an increase in slums which are occupied by people who cannot afford to buy or rent traditional housing in these smaller cities. As many people were forced to live in these slums because of a lack of economic opportunity, the problems of overcrowding, inadequate access

Slums are hindrance to the achievement of economic growth and development. It is the duty of the government to plan effectively towards the achievement of quality life within the cities. Slums contribute towards the presence of criminal activities within the cities and unemployment hence a significant force towards the overall economic development. Upgrading of slums is vital in the process of offering economic, social, institutional, and cultural services to the city dwellers like other citizens.
