released into the atmosphere by Chinese cities have increased dramatically in the last few decade. Currently half of China's cities cannot meet the air quality standards, and one-third of its land is affected by acid rain (Zhang, 2007). In order to protect its people and nature from dangerous environmental threats, sustainable development of China's growing cities must become a top priority, and a key resolution is making them low carbon cities. Low carbon cities can be defined as urban development that

Communist party in China has, for decades insisted that peasants, even those working in cities, remain tied to their tiny plots of land to ensure political and economic stability. (Johnson,2014) However, China’s new policy is now to urbanize most of China as a way of mass modernization and they are doing so, through the creation of new cities and massive relocation.

These people are now piling into a new city competing for new jobs , while all having lifestyles that benefit through different things all within the same city. With so many differenced problems tend to arise, and the original business only keep building, adding to the mess. With changes like these the whole community changes as well.

As a result of this economic drive, an influence was evident on the spatial economic makeup of Sydney. The unemployment ‘map’ of the city was distributed into two opposing fragments, illustrative of contemporaneous social geography. The highest rates of unemployment were marked in the western and south-western suburbs, while the lowest rates occupied the northern suburbs. In place of this, the service sector, specifically finance, business, retail, community service, professional, and wholesale,

Roman City Planning      The design and structure of a city is as important as the people who dwell within her walls. The placement of streets and the structures built there are carefully plotted for optimal use. Foot and cart traffic, fire hazard, and access to water were all key factors in city planning. Eventually the Romans had fine tuned their design principals in such an advantageous way that they molded all of their city states similarly.      Rome developed from the combination of

structures reveals certain common characteristics; they are usually within walking distance of the city center, they are often beside attractive points such as a body of water or central park, they are characterized by unique and innovative architecture and functional planning of surrounding area. 4-1-2 Stadium’s approach in the city: The design focuses on dealing with different groups in the city, heir-changing forms in spatial organization, the positive and negative impacts on the urban environment

the shrinking city phenomenon. Basically, all the research agree that economic decline and the loss of employment opportunities are the primary causes of urban contraction. Other factors are linked to the demographic decline of cities. Hollander and Glazer point out the depreciation of national infrastructure (i.e., highways) and suburbanization as possible causes of de-urbanization. Pallagst also suggests that shrinkage is connected with deindustrialization, as jobs move from the city center to cheaper

case of London, mean annual temperature was 11°C, while the surrounding countryside was 9.6°C and the suburbs was 10.3°C in the period between 1932—1960. In Kew, London, it has an average of some 72 frost-free days than rural Wisley The reason the city is warmer than the country comes down to a difference between the energy gains and losses of each

situation and conflicts of gentrification have risen as a result of the dot-com boom during the 1990’s to 2000’s, where many professionals in the computer, marketing, and business industry moved into San Francisco, changing the social landscape of the city, as once poorer neighborhoods were slowly replaced by wealthy young individuals (“To Whom Does”).
