My Future City

Is it a coincidence certain areas only consist of black civilians or white civilians? The articles “The City as a Growth Machine by Logan and Molotch, Minoritized Space by Michel Laguerre and The Construction of the Ghetto by Massey and Denton demonstrate segregation between racial backgrounds are divided into into specific neighborhoods that contributes as a benefit towards whites. I will be arguing how the theory of Karl Marx on estranged labor is related into these article but also Angela Harris theory on Critical racial theory contributes, clarifies and supports the author 's reasons on why segregation still exists among communities. I will be connecting argument by adding evidence to support my argument with Karl Marx and Angela Harris theory within the articles.

The Annapolis city government has aimed to reduce emissions by 75% by the year 2025 as well as achieve carbon neutrality by the year 2050 (Savidge 2010). In order to achieve these goals, the city government has committed to reducing energy usage by 10% in public facilities by 2017 and 15% by 2020 (Savidge 2010). The city government also plans to achieve 25% of their energy from renewable sources as well as providing greener and more energy efficient upgrades to public facilities and city transportation (Savidge 2010). The Annapolis community has aimed to reduce emissions by 50% by the year 2025 as well as achieve carbon neutrality by the year 2050 (Savidge 2010). The community has been and will continue to actively encourage locals to purchase green and renewable energy, use alternative forms of transportation, increase recycling and reduce trash production, and to preform energy efficiency upgrades (Savidge 2010). Such efficiency upgrades could take place in the form of financing home energy improvements, energy efficient mortgages, energy smart schools, or zero interest loans for energy conservation and “green energy projects (Roseland 2012).” Mark Roseland published a paper on sustainability “solutions for citizens and their governments” that outlines the benefits that simple energy efficient upgrades can achieve (Roseland 2012). He states examples where residents can save over $1000 each year on oil, gas, and electric bills while reducing their emissions through local

Your assignment is to design a neighborhood of the future.Explain what you would include in a neighborhood of the future and why.Include specific details and examples in your design.

We can involve climate change in our daily activities, like living in energy-efficient homes and energy-efficient places, Minimizing polluting transportation and eating less meat. According to Professor Jonathan Taylor, Southern California is one of the energy-efficient places in the U.S. Living in energy-efficient places would lead to less carbon emissions and minimizing transportation which does not cause a lot of pollution. Pollution leads to climate change. Buses and cars are major causes of pollution. Walking and cycling are healthier, does not cause pollution and good for your health. We should eat less meat because it leads to less greenhouse emissions (Taylor, 25th February).

As director of the New Jersey Clean Cities Coalition, you work towards the advancement and improvement of option fuel sources, and also option fuel vehicles. Taking into account your non-benefit association 's objectives, I feel you will discover my proposal to work effectively in correlation with your system. The burning of fossil fuels for energy is gradually destroying all of mankind with carbon dioxide, and the unavoidable issue of environmental change is approaching over every one of us. "CDC evaluations report about sicknesses prone to thrive in a hotter atmosphere" incorporate, "expanded wounds and passing’s from extreme climate, for example, typhoons, more respiratory issues from dry spell driven air contamination, an increment in waterborne ailments including cholera, increments in vector-borne illnesses including jungle fever and hantavirus, and emotional well-being issues, for example, despondency and post-traumatic stress"(Vogt, 2012). This is the reason, for the prosperity of the world, and the security of our planet 's wellbeing, New Jersey must seek after renewable energy.

The city’s top three energy goals include increasing overall city energy efficiency by 5%, city building energy efficiency by 10%, and the renewable energy usage by 20 megawatts (City of Chicago, 2015a). Further, since 71% of carbon emissions come from the energy used by buildings in the city (City of Chicago, 2015a), it is unsurprising that government has taken notice. As stated by the City of Chicago (2015a), a goal has been set to increase renewable energy use 25% by the year 2026. Reductions in carbon emissions are not only beneficial in terms of energy efficiency, but they also reduce harm to the environment that can lead to climate change (City of Chicago, 2015a). It is also important to note that increasing energy efficiency can include building new, costly infrastructure that will pay off long-term, or can be as easy as replacing all street lights with energy efficient bulbs. In fact, updating street light energy efficiency is such a simple and cost-effective energy usage reduction tactic, it used in many of the cities we have studied this semester, such as Portland (Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, 2011). It is evident that the City of Chicago (2015a) believes that no sustainable effort is insignificant.

As time progresses and develops so does our technology, mindsets, and cities. Our cities are as much a living and growing organism as we are. The health and prosperity of our bodies depends on the fundamental systems its built on to be working properly, as does our cities. Our towns and communities develop and mature just as we do by growing up and getting more complex. We are a constant evolving system that is faced with new problems everyday and we have to work together to solve those problems just like a city would. As time has progressed our beloved Ocean City has changed in this exact manner. Through developments in culture, landscape, buildings, attractions and travel Ocean City has become a city unrecognizable since its conception in

Much has been said about the development patterns that are found throughout towns and cities in North America. In the New York Times, a post authored by Vishaan Chakrabarti discuses the trends facing American cities in the article “America’s Urban Future (Chakrabarti).” This article talks about the ways in which American cities are seeing resurgence in their urban areas, and new population segments are moving into once blighted areas. In order to convey the changes occurring throughout our communities, Chakrabarti relies on ethos and logos to provide a foundation for the information, and effectively uses pathos to convince the audience that they should care about the subject in question.

Mayoral candidates emphasized the importance of helping the Durham community reach its full potential at a City Hall forum as the primary election approaches.

Davis in his book describes that, years back Los Angeles was a heaven of public places but with the present scenario it not the same and is slowly that culture is diminishing in the name of urban renaissance. He quotes that democratic public spaces like parks, free beaches, cruising strips do not exist anymore in the name of development. The intended purpose of this is to secure the city. In order to protect the poor and provide shelter to the homeless the public parks and streets were transformed to households. This urban renaissance is also called “The City of Future” by the author who also affords to provide living for millions of aspiring immigrants.

Even though it 's only 2083, Rich City seems like a town of the future because of their advanced city systems and new innovations. Rich City gets energy from many different renewable resources: water, wind, and lightning. For transportation, Rich City mainly use electric cars which allow the user control (something in high demand)

• the current leadership of the City of the Future is aging out and the need exists to foster a new generation

          The city I propose as a perfect city, would be as close to an ecocity as possible, although have some differences. For example, for electrical needs, I would suggest the city have a solar power plant, but on those desperate times, energy would be bought from other electrical plants from nearby towns or states.
