If you live near a major city like I do, you know about the high price of living and the constant traffic. The reason of this is that these cities have high demand for specific occupation. The flip side of this problem is that small cities like the place where my mom grew up have low population because people don't want to work there. The trend is going to continue unless there is an urge to change. The breakthrough will finding ways to bring young educated people to parts of the country other than major cities. Currently there are scholarship programs aimed to get people to move to less populated cities to work in to spread it out. But I believe that in the next few years, this will grow and more money will be put to spreading out demand for
Closely associated with the process of globalisation is the notion of ‘World cities’. World cities are those such as London, New York and Tokyo where urban function has moved beyond the national scale to become a part of the international and global system. They are centres of culture, economics, employment, tourism, transport and communications and have been referred to as the command centres of the World’s borderless economy.
According to the article The More Factor by Laurence Shames states "Let's keep things in proportion: The country is not running out of wealth, drive, savvy, or opportunities" (pg. 83). I concur with Shames statement because America is always on a progressive route from the earlier period of the Frontier to the twenty-first century with high tech technologies. For example, Howard Choset invited the "Snake like robot" which performs invasive surgeries that reduce recovery time and decrease costly procedures. As much as society has progress with technologies we still have room for more growth. for instance, every year there is always going to be a newer and better Iphone, it's the same concept but just a few minor development. Society teaches
There are many advantages of cities, both modern day, and ancient. Cities help prevent diseases, they organize people and make them more productive, and they help the economy. In document 1, Edward Glaeser tells how cities help prevent diseases lowers, because all immunities spread when people are close together. People are dying a lot less for a while in cities because of this. In documents 1, 2, and 3, people say how cities organize, and make people more productive. When people are closer together, they can innovate, and help each other out, as a pose to suburbs where people are separated, and generally don't help,each other. This leads directly to cities having a good economy. When everyone is working and things are going smoothly, the city

After reading the article "Why Nerd and Nurses are Taking Over the U.S. Economy" by Derek Thompson, I realized that all the statistics, studies and info could be scaled down to Erie Pennsylvania. For example in recent years Hamot has grown a lot, Lecom has become more popular, Urgent Care mini hospitals have sprouted up, and colleges like Gannon University have grown and specialize in the medical field and some technology majors. On the other hand mathematicians are going to slowly starting to die out. Things like fast consumer computers are making more and more complex equations more accessible to be solved at home. Super computers are running the big numbers these days not mathematicians. Manufacturing is different, although the employees
Paul Goldberger, an American architectural critic once quoted, “Urbanism works when it creates the journey as desirable as the destination.”
Growing up in a very little town in Illinois was a lot different than growing up in Houston, Texas. When I was in the fourth grade I found many things to have changed about my surroundings, I currently lived in a place where, the people thought and acted differently. I know now reading about it and understanding more that some of those changes were for the good and some were not. Small town living has its advantages such as, very close friendships, close approximately to may things, and friendly people. Looking back, I also realized that there were a lot of disadvantages such as lack of transportation, affects of a poor education, no opportunities for growth, crime, no diversity, and low paying jobs and housing. Now that I am older, and aware of the affects of living in a small town, I can see how these many things affected my life and will continue affect it in the future.
From 1890 to 1920, cities in the United States experienced a rapid growth that was unprecedented in years previous. This growth was caused by a number of factors and resulted in both positive and negative consequences. Such factors included, industrialization, technological advances, migration and immigration. Although American cities greatly improved by the expeditious urbanization, these factors also developed numerous challenges including pollution, sanitation problems, a need for environmental reform, political corruption, overcrowding, high crime rates and segregation.
Ever since the agricultural revolution in 4000 b.c.e cities have played an integral role in human civilization. They provided a space for people who were not involved in providing food for the human population to gather, produce non- agricultural goods and services, innovate and share new ideas and inventions, design impressive public works and improve the quality of life for its citizens. The large cities that were built to solve these problems created new problems of their own, from poverty and overcrowding to the spreading of disease. These cities needed a complex political an economic structure to sustain their functions and made them vulnerable to attacks and as cities grow they become more and more vulnerable to these threats. Many of the great cities of the ancient world have declined and lost their cultural significance and intended function as a city.
Johann, I disagree that if the there was a popular vote that the big cities would dominate. According to a Gallup poll over 75% of the countries both Democrat and Republicans think that terrorism, economy, employment, jobs, and healthcare are important to them (Newport). So, the little towns, the small cities, and the big cities all share similar issues. Also, politicians don’t go to big cites, small cities, or little town, they only go to swing states. The big city of New York and Los Angeles are already ignored by politicians. According to National Popular Vote “85% of the population of the United States lives in places with a population of fewer than 365,000 (the population of Arlington, Texas—the nation’s 50th biggest city).” (National

If you had the choice to live in the city or in the country, which would you choose? Are you the hustle-bustle type who cannot seem to find enough hours in one day? Or are you someone who is much more easy-going and would rather have all of the time in the world to finish one assignment? City dwellers and country dwellers may be only a few miles apart, but what they do in their leisure time is often be completely different.
Everyone has a different lifestyle. People sometimes have to decide where they want to live. Some people prefer to live in the city while other people choose to live in the countryside. Their choice depends upon their bachground. City lifestyle and country lifestyle are two different types of living. Although, these two types of living differ from each other by environment, job opportunities and cost of living; they also have similar features such as daily routine, values and people live and work in these areas.
According Bureau of Labor Statistics to the between 2012 and 2022, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the best of the bunch will produce those openings at a percentage rate that's faster than 10.8 percent, the average for all occupations. The BLS estimates total employment will increase by 15.6
With an increase in urbanization, more people are moving to the industrial cities in pursuit of alternative lifestyle and jobs. Life in city and suburbs can be compared and contrasted with various aspects in mind since they share quite some details in as much as they are vastly different. Firstly, the transportation is more accessible in the city as compared to the suburb where there are no apt transport networks as compared to the city, among the transport mode in the city are subways, busses, trams and ferries. These provide easy, fast and cheap means of getting around in the city in as much as the streets are crowded. This is in contrast to the suburbs since owning a car is mandatory since such public transport systems are not available. When the costs of insurance, fuel expenses and time of commuting are added up then transport in suburbs is seen to be expensive when compared to that in the city. The easy transport in the city does not come all rosy since the city is also flooded with traffic jams due to congestion and this can render transport slow. This is contrast with suburb life where there is no traffic and hence with no congestion traveling in suburbs is more peaceful (Boulter, 2005).
