Description Of A City On The Largest Shetland Island

I trust that a lot of valuable lessons can be taken from the history and fates of ancient cities. Early cities encountered problems that resemble those of today’s contemporary urban settings. Such complications included health difficulties, social chaos, warfare, sanitation, and unpredictable climate. Like today, there was tension within these ancient cities concerning social status, the uneven distribution of wealth, resources, and rations of food among the elite and the commoners created internal stress. Some of these problems eventually caused the demise of such early cities; thereby, allowing today’s society’s to put into perspective the seriousness of said problems. With such detailed information regarding the history of these cities we

This chapter helps to define some elements that may represent a city. For example, when

On a daily basis we walk past several dumpsters – even though we may not see them. In the cities (mostly big and populated states) like the following: Los Angles, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, and New York City, there are over thousands of dumpsters in the alley-ways. As humans we walk by smelling the odor coming from the trash, and continue walking. In Lars Eighner’s “On Dumpster Diving” he will inform us about what he thinks and believes on the subject of dumpster diving.

The location of Lana'i makes it a very desirable location for farmers and business men. The island is isolated from other big cities, which makes it a prime location for tourism. Also, specific types of agriculture grow nicely, which makes for perfect farming land. Another theme of geography is location. The location of Lana'i makes for guaranteed perfect weather, which is extremely important.

Last time I described to you the city I currently live in, L’Aquila, Italy, a province in the Abruzzo region, by telling you about its history, my family, and my university. This time I would like to share with you the geography, climate, and details of my family’s home. Geographically L’Aquila sits upon a hillside in the middle of a narrow valley called the Valley of the Aterno-Pescara. It is positioned in a way that makes it close to highest Apennine summits, with an elevation of 2,365 feet. Because of the city being flanked by four mountain summits the warm, dry winds of the Mediterranean get blocked and cause L’Aquila to be very cool in comparison to central Italy. Like California, L’Aquila is also known for having many earthquakes. Throughout its history L’Aquila experienced eleven earthquakes, with each

Throughout history, the evolution of communities and societies has been influenced by the local and global economy. Large cities emerged from vibrant business activity and flow of products and services. For the most part

It is critical when choosing a city to examine them from a educated stand-point. Choosing a place to live or retire also means understanding how to adapt to the weather conditions, or finding a practical location in the area of a good school, or safe community. No matter what the situation is, a critical checklist was developed by the World Health Organization to do so. It is described as “a tool for a city's self-assessment and map for charting progress (WHO,1). When making the decision to move to a new city it is crucial to understand the options as well as the city or towns stengths and weaknesses. The town in which I have become most familiar with is Fort Frances. I lived in Fort Frances for 12 years and have seen the strengths in the community as well as some recommendations that can be made. I will begin by discussing the strengths that Fort Frances

Finland is the most sparsely populated land in EU (app. 17 inhabitants / square kilometre) 94 % of the area (42 % of the population) belongs to different types of rural areas. Population concentrates in bigger regional centres and their surroundings, city regions. The most isolated rural areas in Northern and Eastern Finland lose inhabitants constantly. The amount of vacation homes, part-time rural houses is growing as well as the standard of holiday residences. Finland have a low population density and long travel distances, regional and urban form plays a vital role in combating climate change. As a result of urbanisation, Finland’s regional structure is becoming more concentrated, while urban sprawl is causing growth centres to become fragmented.

?As the Roman Empire was crumbling in Italy, Huns, Goths, and Lombards began invading towns in the north.? Citizens of Padua, Verona, and Vicenza were forced to travel to the islands of the lagoon.? The most influential invasion occurred in 452 when Attila the Hun drove everyone out of Venetia and they settled ?on the muddy, reed-covered islands of the Rivo Alto.?9? Alethea Wiel claims that the residents of Venezia decided to ?fix an abiding and permanent dwelling-place among the isles and estuaries of the sea; and that moment may be looked upon as the date of the foundation of Venice.?10? The newcomers discovered a thick layer of clay was under the islands.? They put down wooden piles into the clay, then covered these with oak logs and rocks to create the foundation of Venice:? ?it is strange to think how from the shifting unstable formation of mud-bands and sand-isles a city would arise, whose beauty would remain unequalled.?11?

          Tourism will be the major money catcher on the lake and riverside areas. Tourists will be attracted to the city’s beauty and fun activities (see aesthetics). Although tourism brings in a lot of money, small animal and vegetable farms will be maintained, providing the city with some of its food portion. Gardens will also be kept at most of the homes. Not much food will be transported into the city. The city will try to be the most independent possible. Building will use the solar heat method for water and space heating on those rare occasions when necessary.

Cities are places which have huge amount of gathering of people, collection of economic activities and complex infrastructure for people which all together are supported by transport systems.

Most of these towns are evolving ones whose development the government seeks to intervene in the provision of public utilities like water, housing, schools, markets, good roads with street lights, health facilities like clinics or maternity homes and community centres among others.
