The Success Of The Cities Non Stop Activity

Through a multitude of significant changes physically, conceptually, economically, and more, the societal reformation of cities in the Progressive Era had set themselves as the foundations of American civilization. The juxtaposition between the rich and poor statuses in these urban areas show the drastic separation within developing cities. Through this division caused a wide variety of living conditions, the majority of which held the overcrowded sections of cities where the population mostly stayed while the higher end communities had more luxurious lives. Through this success of entrepreneurship and economic growth from all aspects in cities, the entire landscape, both physically through innovative architecture and the perspectives outside rural and suburban areas had on them, had transformed for the better in these areas.

The readings by Alba, Massey and Sampson discussed below all focus on the relationship between demographic living patterns and urban social and economic development. Cities as our author's explain are more than a homogenous center but rather an accumulation of various parts. One of the vital elements of a city is its people. People interact with cities in several manners, as workers, citizens, tourists, developers, each influencing and being influenced by the urban environment. The arguments provided by the author's this week stress the importance of understanding how a city interacts with its citizens in order to understand the larger, more general social and economic trends present.

Construction of the city consumes minimal resources because the assets already present are conserved rather than destroyed. The houses themselves, although “unpainted and patched” are simple but effective structures. This shows how rather than dwelling on superfluous aesthetics, the older generation devotes itself to more fruitful endeavors. For example, residences sport compost heaps. The implementation of such devices preserves and recycles many resources, further emphasizing the conservative ideology of the older generation. While their practical lifestyle is compared to “savagery” by the younger generation, the city of the old generation is really an example of their efficiency.

Citizens can enjoy a better life by access these public services such as better medical care, more education resources and well-built transport. It means an equitable society can be created. An equitable society means citizens can have more opportunities to access social resources and to live a better life. This essay will argue that

[1] Explained by this exemplifies that a city should have a foundation for it to grow off of. I do believe this will also be the doing of the citizens that help plan at meetings with communities, yet a good foundation is what will lead to a “good city”. Furthermore, with the influence of citizens, a good city will develop from nothing and will have a sense of cultural background from the past of citizens who live there currently.

The garden city idea emerged during a time when countries were beginning to urbanize (15% of the world’s population were urban, a rapidly growing figure). There, the living and working environments were squalid and the working

Essential values are linked to the rise of the city – democracy, freedom, citizenship, equality. It was the city which lead to the invention of new political, economic, or technical ways which afterwards spread throughout the nations and the world.

Through architecture and city planning, basic ideals, order, and norms are being constructed thus implying it evolves out of disorder. To ensure that identity, social and political order would be preserved they often had to be bordered and, but to maintain their vigor they had to remain open to the world.
