The following essay addresses the discourse around the good city, trying to understand the importance of having a thinking on the topic rather than providing solutions for a good city.

People move to different cities all around the world. There are expectations and standards when living in a city. Upon deciding what city to live in, people take into consideration the necessities a city should offer. Elements like shelter, food, proximity to people, diversity, work, transportation, entertainment, etc are all important for survival and convenience. The surroundings in a city effect everyone, and depending on past experiences and one’s personal abilities, a surrounding or an area is different to everyone. Something once known as easy can be completely altered. The way a city is set up and organized also effects society. For some, necessary elements can become a living nightmare because of ongoing changes. The root of everything

The book is an analysis of the early urban planning policy which is implemented in almost many of the neighborhoods in United States. Jane Jacobs describes the important factors that is really affecting cities and proposes considerations and techniques to improve the city's actual performance by looking into things that influences on how the cities work rather than how it works based on urban planners and designers.

The definition of wellbeing is bit more complex and controversial because previously it was considered as a part of health. According to Dinham, there is no tangible language of wellbeing that what it actually means (Dinham,

At first thought my definition of well being was simply well physically, without sickness and or pain. It wasn't until this class that I learned the true meaning of well being and that there are more indicators than just physical or health. According to Miriam Webster, "Well-Being is the state of being the state of being happy, healthy, or prosperous." MSN Encarta says "Well being is having good fortune or health.

The lifestyle of the city is presumably produced due to all the productive work to be done. It offers jobs that will help pay the bills, aid in making a name for oneself, or helping individuals find security in their work that allows them to enjoy the fruit of their labor. The city at its core generates so much energy that people say they have to leave it in order to find rest or inner peace and talk about agrarian life or vacations as moments to rest. But the are draw back to the city is always prevalent as it promotes its ability to sustain and improve life. It seems that his is where the real work is done. Although the city is promoted as the epicenter of progress and security, its organization promotes injustice and preys upon the vulnerable.

The places where people live affects greatly in their life style and living places is one of the very basic needs for people. people opine differently, while choosing the living places where they want to reside which can be a suburb or a city, some prefer and argue that a city is the best place to live since it provides so many things over a suburb, so this grant me an opportunity to take a close look at both advantages and disadvantages of living in cities that are find around the world.

Designing cities from scratch is a remarkable achievement within itself. Yet, cases around the country have ultimately failed at implementing the approach by basing the perspective of “how can they create a new city that solves problems of existing cities.” It’s less a process driven by design and more by critique. The vision for a city has changed over time. Yet three items never seem to lose contact with the development of a city and those are values, culture, and wealth. These contributing factors are what allow cities and the planet to flourish. A “good city” should show the people who live within them, and in return offer basic functions for those citizens to succeed. Therefore, constantly changing over time pave paths for new ideas and

In addition, a lot of infrastructure is provided in cities. It leads directly increased the life quality. There are transportation, libraries, parks, zoos in close proximity which is not as many as the countryside. Noise, air pollution, light pollution are taking place because of population explosion. For instance, the destroying of the eco-system leads to the deaths of most of the wild creatures who lives around cities. Moreover, these pollutions also has serious impacts on human’s developments. That utilize of the energy resources for the next generation that will be limited. That is to say, environmental problem is facing a baptism of life. In brief, although urbanization leads directly to increased amounts of pollution, it also provides greater opportunities for employment and access to localized infrastructure. Taking into account both sides of argument, living in cities is more suitable for those who want to have a hurried life. Housing problems have it challenges of Urbanization in which when the industrial age began their was options of families that would either buy a home on the outskirt of town where transportation would be a problem for families to get around, or there was the option to rent little rooms in boardinghouses. Later after families

If we want to live in a better city and are sustainable, we must use utopian architectural methods so that planners can begin to think about the new possibilities of human life. The utopian city model is to ensure the need for dreams, the need for mystery, and sometimes even the desire to create poetry and construction. These projects are the means to escape monotonous life, and its continuation may lead to boredom and frustration. Through Utopia's urban projects, humans can realize that the material world is not static, but is in a state of continuous progress. By using the utopian method in urban planning, our habitual values are confused and we enter the utmost and newly discovered space of the utopia and have the opportunity to educate ourselves. We can find the power to inspire ourselves and the desire to be better the past, the desire to be better than present and desire for even more, most importantly is to desire in different

Edward Glaesar, author of “Triumph of the City”, is credible because he received his Ph.D in economics and later became a professor at Harvard University in which he has devoted his studies to educate and present people about his ideas and theories about the effectiveness of cities. He is also a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, and editor to City Journal which is a think tank that collects research, ideas, and advocates domestic policies and urban

The life expectancy increased significantly, this kind of measure should and will be analyzed according to the specifics life conditions of each country or region, but a global measure is useful to illustrate the issue. Thus, whereas in 1950-1955 the global life expectancy was 47.7 years, in 2005-2010 it was 67.9. This fact is mainly due to advances in medicine and improvement of life conditions, which also contributes to mortality

According to Withgott and Brennan (2007), people are now live at a turning point. Beginning about the year 2007, for the first time in the human history, more people will live in the urban areas than in rural areas. The development of social diversity is one of the principal objectives of urban regeneration. It aims at attracting new inhabitants in degraded districts but also preventing their inhabitants to leave them as soon as the situation has improved.

As well as understanding why we need cities, we must also analyse how they have developed in the past if we are to theorise about their futures. However they have always developed in differing ways, each is a product of its time, depending on the economic and social conditions of the period. While this may make it seem more confusing to understand the development of individual cities, it provides a broader explanation of what makes them so successful as a whole, they respond to the needs of the day rather than follow any certain formula. In his work on the culture of cities Robert Mumford suggests that ‘cities are a product of time’ (MUMFORD), something that cannot be rushed, but allowed to naturally
