My Future City

All in all the industrial revolution had a positive effect on society, accomplishing things many do not realize and creating a turn of events that would put the USA as the world power. New farming methods meant better diets, which lead to lower death rates. Efficient and useful inventions, as well as machinery, made it easier for people to work, and made more job opportunities, as well as enjoyment in the workplace. More and easier ways of travel became commonplace, such as railroads. In addition, as cities began to grow, streetlights provided safety at night, and our economy grew greatly. While some might argue that Industrialization had primarily negative consequences for society because it caused children to be used as workers and made school

Midyear Essay Rewrite The expansion of trade led to the urbanization of Europe in the late Middle Ages through the development of towns, guilds, and the rise of education. Urbanization is the process by which cities form and expand. As trade expanded, a city's popularity could grow and more merchants would want to travel there to receive more business and customers.

Sydney, centrally located on the eastern coast, is Australia’s largest and most influential city. Its multicultural nature, advanced infrastructure, state of the art technologies, scale of foreign investment and architectural ingenuity not only make for a highly desired international tourist destination but are all compelling evidence to suggest that Sydney is in fact an established city of the developed world. As in any developed city, there are a myriad of urban dynamics of change at work that have, and will continue to evolve the morphology of the Australian metropolis.

Between the 18th century and the end of the Industrial Revolution, English cities began to see a rapid increase in urbanization and development. Great Britain, proud to show their economic splendor, hosted the Great Exhibition of 1851. This was a showcase of British industrial power, and was the first of a chain of World Fairs that let the wealthier countries show their wealth for all to see. It can be seen on document six, a map of the city of Manchester, that between 1750 and 1850 there was massive growth, industrialization, and restructuring including new railroads and canals. Document 8, an excerpt from Manchester in 1844, describes how the town of Hyde only had 800 total residents at the beginning of the 19th century, while in 1843 there

One plan is for conservation, or reduction in use. People can do such things as walking to their destination if feasible, or taking a bicycle, they can also share rides with their friends or co-workers who happen to live close by. Another strategy that can be employed is energy efficiency, use lower wattage bulbs in light fixtures, or fluorescent bulbs would be even better. Keep the thermostat set at a reasonable temperature or open windows when the weather permits. It is believed that conservation and efficiency are the best way to approach our energy uses, while other solutions can be developed. Conservation and efficiency also help our environment by not emitting as much C02 into our air, thereby decreasing our effect on global warming. Home energy production should be affordable for all, if everyone was hooked up to be self sufficient (when weather was right), then the overage of the energy they produced would be sent to the electric company for others to use. One challenge to home energy production would be that the electric companies would not make as much money, and perhaps some of the technicians would no longer be needed, so they would lose their jobs. However they could seek employment with one of the many new renewable energy companies that will crop up. We should also start

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.

Now some of you are wondering what any of the last paragraph has to do with the poor water quality in my area. The purpose of that information is to give you an insight on how the politics in this city work, this will help you better understand why the issue what it is and why changes will never

I had the privilege to go to the Lincoln Station. As soon as I got off I started to go to the houses that were near the station. I started to do observations of the things I saw Then I compared the geography of Denver to Lone Tree. Lastly, I decided which one of the two was a more sustainable city. The following paragraphs show my findings. In Lone Tree, I saw more of a plant variations. They were houses that had different types of plants. In Lone Tree, you're able to see more grass in each individual house. Another thing I saw was that the population in Lone tree was very small compared to the population in Denver. The bigger the population the more cars people are going to use.This will cause more gasses enmities to the atmosphere. The amount of needed to eat is directly related to the population of a place. Since their more population their more trucks coming in and out for food. Another of the many observations I saw was that the houses in Lone Tree were very big. When houses are very big the people living in the houses use more of everything. They use more light to power their house. Another of the things big houses use is a large amount of the heating and cooling system. It takes a longer period of time to keep their houses warmer or

The futuristic elements Toronto-sauras will have will be Engineering, Housing, and Transportation. Toronto-sauras will also benefit from these elements because Engineering/Housing will provide places to live and work. Transportation will help the citizens of Toronto-sauras get from one place to another also because people will need to get places they will need sidewalks to walk on, buses that will drive them places, and cars so they can drive themselves places.

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.

Currently, policymakers are mostly concerned with the economic impacts a policy will have. While economic factors are important when evaluating and analyzing policies, there needs to be more of an emphasis on the social impacts policies have, especially when it comes to community development policies. Although it is not the only issue with currently popular community development policies, gentrification is one of the most problematic and enlightening conflicts of our time. The core issue with gentrification is it does not benefit the people who are most marginalized in the city. One can argue it improves neighborhoods by bringing business development, improving housing, and increasing median incomes, but these benefits do nothing to help the

The City of Horizon is located south of Adelaide (320 kilometres), and north-west of Melbourne (530 kilometres) (University of South Australia (UniSA) 2017). The city is surrounded by the Southern Ocean and the following cities; Cape Arch, Beachside, Yonder Hill, Limestone Point and Woodside (UniSA 2017). The population (29,308) is surrounded by Yonder District Council (UniSA 2017). The City of Horizon is an aging population, as almost half the patrons (44.4%) are over 60 years old (UniSA 2017). Females are shown to be present in over half the city’s population (51.7%), furthermore 48.3% of the city are males patrons (UniSA 2017). It is evident that majority of the people living in the city are Australian born (85.9%), moreover a few patrons

High Density is said to be the future of residential housing, although not everyone agrees to this way of thinking.

A sustainable city is when harmony is reached between the environment, economy and society. Environmentally, sustainable cities are ecologically friendly by using alternative sources of energy such as solar or wind power. Economically, governments should share a similar decision-making process with institutions and with the public by having a common belief in what should be done by improving sustainability. Sorensen, Marcotullio, and Grant (2004), find that a good decision making process consists of planning and control at the municipal and national political levels which would allow local level functions to become reinforced. Socially, sustainable cities are classless, meaning that there are no social divisions which serve as limits; leading to a more equal society. One of the many ideas would be using mixed housing to remove the class divisions between people. Also, city streets would be walkable, with businesses and services located at close proximity to promote a healthier lifestyle and serve as an alternative to using cars for transportation. The writers differ in their analysis when examining the approaches to improving sustainability in cities. This section will analyze four important ideas on how cities can become more sustainable.

          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.
