Physical Geography Case Study

Cronulla is a beachside suburb in southern Sydney, it is located 34.0574° S, 151.1522° E which is 26 kilometres south of the Sydney CBD (see figure 2). It is governed by the Sutherland Shire Council. Cronulla’s coastal environment is on the Kurnell Peninsula, which is made up of a tombolo. A tombolo is a sand spit connecting a rocky outcrop or island to the mainland. So this forms a barrier between Botany Bay and Bate Bay. The two areas of study visited were Wanda Beach and the Greenhills Beach development.

affordability in the area and create higher density housing with a planned 2,828 new dwellings. It plans to have diverse housing types for all socio economic groups to prevent exclusion and support the economic and social sustainability of the area.

A psammosere is a serial community; an ecological succession that began life on newly exposed coastal sand. Most common psammoseres are sand dune systems.

The first subject I will compare is the housing within each neighborhood. First, in the Greenbush neighborhood, the majority of people are either college students or young adults between the ages of twenty and thirty-two. It was obvious this age group lived in these homes seeing the décor on the front porches and the cars in the driveways. The average household income ranges between seventy and eighty-five thousand dollars per year (StatisticalAtlas). Just walking down the street I noticed most of the lots are designated for either college students, expensive residential homes, or parks with green spaces. The neighborhoods average price for a normal sized home would range between three hundred and three

A drought is one of the many natural hazards of nature that occur within Australia. It is a prolonged period of below average rainfall as well as continuous dry weather. This results in there not being enough water for individuals for essential everyday usage and causes impacts on humans and their surrounding environment.

The aim of the City of Sydney Affordable Rental Housing State Environmental Planning Policy Strategy (SEPP) is to protect existing affordable housing and to facilitate ¬¬¬¬¬new affordable housing in the City of Sydney to provide for social, cultural, environmental and economic sustainability. The key of this strategy is to increase the amount of affordable rental housing in the local area to very low, low and moderate income households; protect existing stock of low cost rental accommodation; encourage a diverse range of housing in the local area; and work with other inner Sydney councils to address affordable rental housing at a regional level. According to the SEPP, affordable housing is refers to housing that does not take more than 30% of a very low, low or moderate household’s income. It defines affordable housing as very low income household as

The second reason has to do with where new houses are built. New homes are built on land that was previously undeveloped, usually located on the outer edge of the residential district, furthest away from the central business district. The wealthiest people move into these new homes, leaving the upper middle

Lack of housing supply is the major issue that leads to the crisis of housing affordability. As a group, we will be researching solutions of providing greater housing supply in California. Our first step is to identify the issue and the multiple causes that contribute to the problem. In addition to memos provide by team members that focus on components of housing supply shortage in California generally, this memo will focus on the supply shortage in coastal metros of California, including a comprehensive view of the consequences and causes of the issue.

Housing is a big concern of every family because it is where the family established. Most of families are willing to spend most of their income to own a house. However, the housing markets are not always fair and reasonable for normal people. Rich people are buying more than 1 house, but a lot of hardworking wage-earning classes cannot even afford 1 small apartment. Since the real estates are the rigid demand and a good way to keep value, too much money flow into the real estate markets. Sometimes it makes the housing price too high for normal people to afford.

Allowing accessory dwelling units (ADUs) can promote housing markets by increasing rental housing stock and decreasing renters costs. On supply side, ADUs enable expansion of the available rental housing stock in areas that are zoned for single-family housing. On renters side, ADUs can lower renters costs of caring for multiple generations by creating intergenerational living arrangements and allowing more seniors to age in place. Further, accessory dwelling units promote sustainable development by guiding growth within local regions and thus reducing the financial burden on municipalities to pay for more services over a large area. By allowing more unproved units to be approved, municipalities could expand the amount of accessory dwelling

The country I chose is different form Canada in so many ways. First of all, the physical geography of the country is different. In Canada there are 4 distinct different seasons, winter, spring, summer, and autumn, however in Ivory coast there is only 2 spring and summer. Yet, the physical differences do not stop there. The placement of these countries are also a major different, as Canada is in the North America, and Ivory Coast is in Africa. The continental difference also plays a big role in the culture. In Canada, our culture is not distinct as we take it from our European parents. While the Ivorians have French blood, most of their culture is African and not in fact French. Also, Canadians embracing in handshakes, while Ivorians are a

Many advocates and policymakers of housing for the poor believe that to achieve optimal human development of low-income households the location of the housing must be considered as well as the quality of the housing unit (Newman, 2008).

Similar to modern city planning, residential areas were, at that time, determined by socioeconomic status. For instance, wealthy citizens, merchants, etc. erected their business and houses in the Delaware River section of the city. The Market Street was also a popular area for commerce structures. While Lower-class workers concentrated mostly up north, west and south areas of the city.

The comparable difference in lower versus higher income neighborhoods is quite drastic. It is obvious which neighborhoods are upper class, and which are not, by merely observing the surroundings of the neighborhood. One of the notable differences between the upper class neighborhood Meridian-Kessler, and the lower income neighborhoods like Haughville was the condition of the roads. It was quite shocking to see how poor the road conditions were in the lower income neighborhoods. Generally, the nicer neighborhoods had more property than the lower class neighborhoods and it was obvious that the richer ones were better kept up. There were also many smaller indications

There are problems in cities too regarding healthcare access. Access such as emergency services, diagnostic equipment and medical specialist are problematic (Soroka,
