Urban Social Landscape Case Study

During 1960s and 1970s historical demography shows family in East and West of America often changed due to the fact of economic, political, demographic and social condition. When computer was introduce in 1960s, family can see the broad outlines of family function through analyze census data. 3 families assert points: family didn’t establish the appropriate arrangement for reproduction, nurturance, socialization, and economic support. Changes in family create tension. No family system turns into complex and elements in different eras. The different suggest the children were in a complicated environment. Scholars base their question on 2 main reasons: People who believe family is at risk because of changes in marriage system. And those who concern about their children’s welfare if there’s tension in family. Lack of family resources contributes to children’s well-being. In some data, one well-functioning parent with resources is better than two married parents with lack of resources or skills in parenthood. Parents and children need stability support regard which they

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.

The combination for the continuing preference for two or one children and longer life expectancies will basically make the households without children very large and numerous. The household growth focuses on the older age groups while the traditional family is focused in accounting for only one in five households in the year 2025. Professionals will have to investigate and develop ways on how to accommodate the greater and different varieties of household types whether for construction, financing or management of housing.

It has become increasingly common to see multigenerational households. Grandparents, parents, and children living under the same roof allows for better housing, help raising children, and help taking care of the elders. Multigenerational households represent two thirds of families in the United States, where the grandparents is the primary caregiver to the children allowing for parents to work (Public Broadcasting Service, 2004).

One of the primary missions of City A is to provide services to its constituents in the most cost-effective, legal, and ethical manner. Recent issues within the city manager’s office have eroded the public’s trust, in part due to a budget crisis that caused many vital employees to lose their jobs, thereby reducing city services. An atmosphere of tolerance for unethical and illegal behavior has been fostered within the office, leading to a dysfunctional governmental unit lacking an ethical framework from which to operate and void of leadership needed to guide the city employees. Implementing reforms in the city manager’s office is necessary in order to achieve change in the office that will promote ethical behavior and develop effective

There are many fundamental infrastructures in America that we rely on day to day. When I hear the word infrastructure, the first thing that comes to mind are networks of transportation such as roads, bridges, highways, rails, and airports. But infrastructure is so much more. From the water infrastructure that provides a clean supply of water as well as the removal of water waste, to the generation and distribution of power infrastructure, or even gas for those who need to heat their homes and cook on stoves. All of these have their respective purposes and functions in society, but the focus of this is going to be on the telecommunications infrastructure. The internet is a powerful system and infrastructure that many people and their technology depend on. Even many other infrastructures have the internet woven into its core in order to effectively operate. Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the world wide web, once said, “I myself feel that it is very important that my ISP supplies internet to my house like the water company supplies water to my house. It supplies connectivity with no strings attached.” Sadly, connectivity to the telecommunications infrastructure is showing symptoms of splintering urbanism in many American cities.

The subculture of lowriding has been a way for Mexican Americans to express themselves through their “tricked out” vehicles. It was, as journalist Ted West wrote, a way to “express the refusal of a young Chicano American to be Anglicized. There has never been a clearer case of the automobile being used as an ethnic statement.” Although there are preconceived notions of negativity such as gang involvement with lowriding, that notion is false, and shows how the lowrider community is misunderstood. However, lowriding isn’t as prevalent in America as it was back in the 70’s. Regardless it’s still thriving in the United States among other ethnicities and internationally for similar reasons it became huge in the U.S. The construction and presentation of lowriders are an outlet for artistic expression to redefine and challenge the assimilation of urban space.

Henry R. Richmond who wrote From Sea to Shining Sea: gives us a good definition: AThe terms Aurban sprawl@ and Asuburbanization@ are often used to describe the continuous out-migration of the American economic and population base from its central citiesYmajor cities are surrounded by seas of low density residential development highlighted byYAEdge Cities@ or Asuburban megacenters@, where commercial, retail, office, and entertainment development has occurred.@ This description describes the trend overtaking rural America. The land that once fed the populace is being used to house the masses. This phenomenon is being met with a variety of opinions - all of them strong one is going to affect us in the most harmful

Figure 4 presents the spatial distribution of job accessibility measured based on the equation (9) and mixed land use measured based on the equation (11). Job accessibility decreases as distance from the CBD increases, but interestingly job accessibility in the northern part from the CBD is high. Although many reasons may affect this spatial distribution of job accessibility, this can be simply explained that job supply is higher than job demand. This pattern of job accessibility seems

The familial supports to older people are morally and legally encouraged in China. The cultural norms of ‘filial piety’ are rooted in China, allocating care responsibility to the family. There is an overwhelming view from interviewees (both government officials and managers in care agencies): family members (spouse and children) are the first source for both care services and financial support for older people.

In urban societies, crimes rates are always high. Big cities with a large number of Hispanics and African American decent often get target by law enforcements by high criminal activities that occur on a daily basis. Often times certain minorities are targeted as suspects because of their skin color, body movement and fashion style. According to research done in 2011, the number of aggregation In stops of young African American men in the city of New York exceeded the total number of 168,126 (Alexandra Natapoff,1062.) Although assuming isn’t justified for potential targets, a suspicion of potential cases is essential to identify targets. According to the Law, you may not stop a citizen of this country without any evidence but that human right goes down the drain once a civilian enters generalize categories such as high profiled neighborhoods and time of the day. The purpose of this essay is to identify cultural backgrounds of urban societies and become knowledgeable of conflicting theories that effect police decisions. Citizens of this country need to be aware of how enforcements identify targets by using discriminative categories to match their descriptions. I will be using four journals as sources to identify police discrimination and analyze if potential police salaries in large cities plays a role in decision-making.

One noticeable issue in the society today is the rate at which people (including youths and adults) migrate from the rural to the urban areas. Like a paradox, while the cities (urban areas) are increasing in population, the rural areas are decreasing. One of the factors that is responsible for rural -urban migration is lack of / inadequate social amenities and facilities in the rural areas. These include pipe borne water, electricity, good roads, hospitals, schools, recreational centres (like Stadiun, Zoo, Amusement park) among others. Inadequate jobs in the rural areas also make many youths to migrate to the urban areas that can provide better opportunities for them. Rural-urban migration has negative consequences. It leads to

With a more prosperous economy social impacts such as decrease of local poverty rates, in the study it shows that non-developed areas have about a 15.7% poverty rate while in developed areas its only about 2% (Citation 3). Education is greatly impacted with more people the need for bigger schools or more schools go up, this leads to more people getting education. In rural areas, the amount of twenty-five year olds an up without a high school diploma in 2000 was roughly 25% an only 13.6% had a 4-year degree or higher, but in more developed areas about 18.4% didn’t have a high school degree and 19.2% had a 4-year degree or higher (Citation 4). Increase of population means elder people to take care of, when an area is developed it can allow more recreational areas that create a higher involvement in outdoor activity as well as the demand for physicians in the area increase allowing for elder health care to be greatly improved (Citation 5).

This chapter in Section 2 in the book “Man and his urban environment” written by William Michelson (1970) discussed three categories of stage in the life cycle which are the child raisers, the old and young childless, and the elderly. And William also explored how these three stages have marked implications for the physical environment by citing some of the social problems. It can be said, the author tells the social facts about a family and its potential needs through this chapter.
