Why Are The Suburbs Effective

Life in the suburbs of France is hard; this is shown in the film La Haine and Kiffe Kiffe Tomorrow. La Haine is a 1995 French film that was directed by Mathieu Kassovitz which outlines the struggle of living in the French suburbs. La Haine was translated into English means hate. The story revolves around three early twenty-year-olds named Hubert, Vinz, and Sayid from three very different immigrant families. Kiffe Kiffe Tomorrow was published in 2004 by Faiza Guene who was 19 at the time it was released

many people living in such a small densely populated area it seems like it’s an uncomfortable place to live. Edward Glaeser, an economic professor at Harvard University, and author of the book “Triumph of the City”, shares his ideas and theories on why people should start packing their bags and start relocating to cities. As most of the world exits the industrial period and moves into modern civilization cities has thrived with higher education resulting into new ideas to create new job opportunities

like many other cities. Rather, the main issue is the lack of connection between the inner city and outer suburbs. Richmond should be allocating more of the current traffic budget toward improving public transportation through the bus system by adding more, further reaching bus routes. After a proposal like that, you probably find

Redlining Following, numbers of shootings involving law enforcement and black men, race became a pertinent topic among American people. It seems that two groups have revealed themselves through these discussions, those who believe race is still a problem in America, and those who believe America is a post-racial society. History is one of the clearest indicators showing that race may still be relevant in modern communities. A plethora of connections can be drawn between discrepancies in poverty

professionals, older couples or single wealthy men and women. The development of Pyrmont has also created speculation about the ethics of “housing 547” (City West Housing Pty Ltd, 2013, page 1) affordable housing properties in one of the most expensive suburbs in Sydney. Although some of the tenant’s families have lived in Pyrmont for generations some believe due to the redevelopment of Pyrmont, it is unethical to provide for 547 families when the housing could be relocated to outer Sydney and house more

housing projects and focus more on the development of freeways around the city. The City of Detroit was just following suit as the entire United States, which was encouraging highway development to lead people outside the city to start families in the suburbs. Coleman A Young was Detroit’s first African American Mayor, he won the election in 1974 and serve for 20 years (Beachy, Myint, Padani, 2013). Young’s focus was on Detroit’s Waterfront development and none on economic and crime prevention in the

community. Adults could walk to work and children could walk to school. Although this idea seems far-fetched it is already working in Celebration, Florida. Walt Disney World purchased the land and came up with a way to create an area that combined the suburbs and small town living (Frantz and Collins, 1999). Although it is nearly impossible to create towns like Celebration everywhere, it is a start and provides hope for this

Besides, improved infrastructure and rise in living standard made these suburbs more attractive. So people are willing to sacrifice more commuting time to live in these suburban communities. From development perspective, irrational development overrules reasonably urban planning, and led to unprecedented development in suburbs. Another factor that contributes to urban sprawl is rise in population, the fact that the number of people live in cities

COMMUNITIES & URBANIZATION Introduction George Murdock once said that a community is one of the two truly universal units of society organization, the other one being family (Schaefer, 461). We are all part of a community, and in many cases, we are a part of multiple ones. In chapter 20 of our textbook, we are looking at communities and urbanization. It discusses urbanization and how communities originate. It also looks at the different types of communities.
