Throughout the centuries humans have seen cities rise and fall; each one had its own unique style and charm. Although no city is completely alike, they all have one thing in common: the elements that create them. Without these components, cities would not be successful and they would not foster memorable urban experiences.

That is the first “Green Belt”. The city was divided into different areas like residential area, industry area and public area. A one mile-length traffic axle went across the public area and was connected to the railway station

The morning of April 1st was sunny and bright; the ground was moist and flowers of vibrant colors were blooming. The olive green trees were swaying in a gentle breeze and the river by the village was teeming with fish. A rainbow glowed against the blue sky, catching every villagers’ attention. The villagers of Shiveria had begun to assemble at the center of the village where the annual lottery was being held. Because of the town’s small population of 400 people, the lottery would probably take less
