Urban development through the lens of social justice evaluates how communities develop in relationship to the available resources, employment opportunity and sustainable quality of life. Urban development can only be sustainable and self-reliant when the needs of the community can be met through individuals living going to school and learning in these communities. Without these resources community stability and empowerment can create social and economic impoverishment. According to the university
2 Urban education takes place in context of large cities. On an average of 64 percent of students receive free or reduced priced lunches, which indicates that their families are at or near the federal poverty level (Hudley, 2013). Which means there is a greater percentage of students who are considered low-income and there are factors that impact their education in a negative manner and examples of such factors will be later revealed in this paper. My goal is to become an effective urban teacher
Introduction Infrastructures are basic essential services that should be put in place to enable development to occur. Socio-economic development can be facilitated and accelerated by the presence of social and economic infrastructures. If these facilities and services are not in place, development will be very difficult and in fact can be likened to a very scarce commodity that can only be secured at a very high price and cost.

Education and Skills Development: A Flagship programme for Rural Poverty Alleviation More than of half of the world’s population and nearly 70 per cent of the world’s poor made rural areas their home where hunger, illiteracy and low school achievement are ubiquitous. India lives in its villages where 68.84% of the country’s population eke out their living through agriculture and allied activities. For the economic development of our country, the development of rural areas and the standard of living
rural poverty without looking at urban poverty, which is the bigger challenge at the dawn of the century. It was not until the unrest caused by the misconduct of police in killing black men in Ferguson, Cleveland, Oakland, California, and Baltimore that the improvised lives of those living in urban cities came to light. Most of the minority groups in America’s big cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Kansas experience low education standards, unemployment, crime, urban diseases, high detention rates
While many people may assume that drug overdose is more prevalent in urban areas than in rural areas, the reality is reversed. Over the last ten years, rural areas surpassed urban areas in drug-overdose occurrences. Opioid use and the use of other drugs has increased dramatically nationwide, but as of 2017, rural areas have a drug overdose death rate of 17 per 100,000 people while the urban statistic is 16.2 per 1,000 people (which is 0.8 less deaths per 100,000 people).

sectors that influenced balanced economic growth. In many developing countries it is therefore common to see a developmental policy to maintain tension, disproportions and disequilibrium in which Hirschman argued the case of a deliberate unbalancing of the economy. These policies dictate the need for more-developed industries to provide undeveloped industries an incentive to grow. Of course, these policies are decided by those with more power, thus typically seen in urban areas of an economy, in which
which can be used to solve relevant issues. Since the reform and opening-up, China’s education developed rapidly and achieved good results, but there are some problems, of which there is still considerable gap between urban and rural education (Jie, 2008). There is no doubt that education is the intellectual support for the progress of a nation, and the basic rights of citizens. Achieving educational equality in urban and rural areas can promote and support the development of China’s economy. This is
Education is very popular and important issue in our country, especially in some rural areas, for example: Ningxia, Guangxi and etc. in china. Rural areas mean countryside or the located is outside city. Urban areas have located the center of the city, for example: Shanghai, Beijing and etc. if we want to good at high school education, we should more focus in rural areas. Until now, we still have lots of children are staying at rural areas. High school education in rural areas are important in china
Higher Education Box: Expanding upon the Economic and Community Development Roles of Urban Universities to Create a Win-win Situation Introduction For years, urban universities of various types have struggled with their environment—be it because of internal tensions such as growing enrollments, or external pressures such as competition for land and the demand for balancing renewal and conservation (Klotsche, 1966; Perry and Wiewel, 2005). As a product of the evolution of metropolis, the urban university
