Elijah exhibits the different lifestyles of the citizens in Germantown, Philadelphia by thoroughly explaining the code through different themes that make up the inner city lifestyle such as, family, violence, drugs, relationships or poverty through his point of view and people within the city as well. Within the inner city, neighborhoods and streets holds a “code,” which are the

He also mentions that perhaps for the first time in history the urban population of the earth will outnumber the rural. He goes on to describe this process with a somewhat negative statement titled “back to dickens” (Davis 11). How this new urban order comes with a price. There will be increasing inequality within and between cities of different sizes and economic specializations. The

Imagine growing up in a small town where everyone knows everyone's business and the nearest Wal-Mart is almost an hour away; then imagine attending a school where the amount of student attending is the same number of people who occupy a small town. The size difference is substantial and plays an important role. When I was younger, I had attended both a small town school and a school in the city. I have had the chance to experience the different lifestyles of these two variations of living. The development

The world has experienced economic growth and development over the past years. As a result of this, some countries experience high growth of mega-cities and urbanization in general. Wang et al. (2009) noted that, migration of the world population into the world cities have almost doubled since 20th century.

Famous for its Golden Gate Bridge, street cars traveling up and down the hilly city, and a haunted prison abandoned on Alcatraz Island, San Francisco is a city unlike any other. San Francisco during the early 1900s, too was a great city. It was on the rise from the gold rush and a fairly new transcontinental railroad that connected the growing western city to the rest of the united states.

The Resilient City: Phoenix In terms of ranking a city’s resiliency, in many cases, the city of Phoenix, Arizona may be ranked by many as one of the least resilient regions in the country. This desert metropolis, currently home to just under four and a half million people, is relatively young by city standards. Only growing to its size within the last decade or two, this region is new to urban lifestyles, and its growth patterns reflect the suburban housing boom that has gripped the nation in the

The health and prosperity of our bodies depends on the fundamental systems its built on to be working properly, as does our cities. Our towns and communities develop and mature just as we do by growing up and getting more complex. We are a constant evolving system that is faced with new problems everyday and we have to work together to solve those problems just like a city would. As time has progressed

population is growing and growing rapidly but in order for the world to hold the mass change there is a need for humanity to adapt. According to the UN (United Nations) more than half of humanity today 3.9 billion people in 2014, today over 4 billion lives in urban areas (UN 2014, p. 1).This is a profound shift in the course of one century, or within a single lifetime for some of the longer lived people. Not only is the world’s urban population rapidly increasing, but cities themselves are growing larger
