New France during the period 1663-1760 began to establish itself not just as a territorial claim but as a colony . This process meant population growth; moreover it also required the establishment of structure within the colony. Leadership of the colony had to shape the economic, political and social institutions. In New France the leadership was attained from the economic power of landholding and fur trading which was derived from the crowns political will. While the clergy held social influence they did not hold sufficient economic and political power to be the real leaders of New France.
There has been a lot of changes throughout New Amsterdam history. In 1609 until the year of 1664 there has been dramatic changes in history that has brought the country together in unity overtime. During this time in history many explorers had sailed across the ocean in hopes of discovering something that no one else had before. One such explorer was Henry Hudson, who went on an expedition to find a faster route to supplies that he and other people in the New Netherlands needed. Hudson made his first voyage from England in 1607 where he then tried to find a “shorter route around to Asia from Europe and through the Arctic Ocean” (History, 2009).
Introduction As the world’s population continues to migrate and live in urban areas, planners, engineers, and politicians have an important role to ensure that they are livable and sustainable. But what defines an urban area and what makes it so attractive? In my opinion, urban areas are places that consist of a variety of land uses and buildings, where services and amenities are easily accessible to the general public, and includes an established multimodal transportation network. Also, it should be a place where people can play, learn, work, and grow in a safe and collaborative manner.
A Parisian or Viennese citizen in 1800 would have a difficulty recognizing his or her city in 1900 for several factors. The population growth during the time period was growing at an exponential rate. The streets, housing, sewer system, and working conditions were simply getting repulsive. The expansion of the population was growing at a higher rate than the city could grow upward or outward. At this time, there were no amenities such as the parks, clean sewer, and expansive boulevards that would come later.
Poor people were able to get help with money, city hall was more orderly, they really changed the entire urban
The late 19th century was a monumental era for the city of Paris. As the city kept growing and increasing in popularity around the globe, the city itself was being modernized from its dated medieval layout. These modernizations had a direct impact on the culture of the city, the lifestyles of its inhabitants, and the prominence of the city across the world. Paris’ inhabitants were as social as ever, and often enjoyed themselves at cafés and bars. This modernization acted as a perfect catalyst to support the surging wave of capitalism across Western Europe.
For centuries, the Aztecs have been categorized for their unique customs to celebrate religion. For Aztecs, religion was an extremely important aspect in life. These people worshiped various gods and goddesses whom represented characteristics of nature or human activities. Because their civilization was based heavily on farming, Aztecs worshipped many agricultural gods. This culture like multiple other Mesoamerican religions practiced human sacrifice in their religious rituals.
The research dives 100-200 years in the past to educate oneself on various topics: the social system, economic system, and physical attributes of Downtown Athens. The report is instilled with information comparing Downtown Athens in the past to the present to examine similarities and differences between the two time periods. In summation, it was determined that the development of Downtown Athens has been beneficial as the economy is thriving and the social system is more cordial. Evidence shows that legal segregation was evident in the past, but has decreased throughout time and does not exist today. To add on, the economy was built upon more outdated products and services rather than the upbeat nightlife and entertainment scene existing in the present.
For example, in the United States as in Ecuador the houses are organized in urbanizations, inside of them we can find many houses together. This urbanization is localized in the suburban areas. Another example is a building called condominium
“The image of the Environment and the “City and its Elements” by Kevin Lynch is about the elements that are used to build the structure that are important to the perception of the city. The author identifies the major elements of a city as paths, edges, nodes, district, and landmarks which are what create the image of the city and are the basic elements that people use to construct the image of a city. Along with the elements that the author talks about the concept of the imageability and Legibility. Imageability is what gives the observers of the city clear images. It is what makes the city memorable and recognizable to people and that’s because of the structure and how the elements were formed in the city and it is what establishes identity
A suburb’s Culture of Place is expressed in its architecture, streetscape, heritage architecture, noise, colour, street life, energy, vitality and lifestyle. Pre-urban renewal, Pyrmont’s culture of place was highly reflective around its low-income blue-collar workers and primary and secondary industries. As the blue-collar workers moved out of the inner-city areas with the decentralisation of industry, Pyrmont’s culture of place directly correlated with its devastating urban decay, such as abandoned and vandalised buildings, boarded-up shops, unused port and transport infrastructure, and overgrown, rubble strewn lots where factories had been bulldozed. Following Pyrmont’s urban renewal, the culture of place has been significantly transformed and is now characterized by its heritage and gentrified architecture, lively streetscape with cafes and restaurants, vibrant colours, and very relaxed and cultured lifestyle. The suburb is scattered with green, open public space, which makes Pyrmont a somewhat green suburb.
The land around the boulevards was now highly desirable and as such, taken over by the upper-class. This lead to a movement of the upper class, going along with the displacement of the lower-class. The effects of reshaped Paris were able to create an efficient, sanitary city, much like the effects of the Ringstrasse on the city of
As the shape of the city and the characteristics of urban life are influenced by the way public and private distinction is made, the role of urban
Davis describes the urbanization process as occurring along an S curve, beginning slow, becoming fast, and then slowing down again. Based on this idea of S curve, he predicts an end to urbanization. The next essay “The Urban Revolution” was by arguably the single most influential archaeologist of twentieth century, V. Gordon Childe. In this writing, he redefines the major eras of human development.
At the beginning, the public spaces were defined as an area that can be easily for everyone to access at any time. With the development of social and city, it became to a complicated definition which relevant to property, using and design of these spatial. As the result, R. Sennett said about the drop and end of public space because of these factor (Sennett, 1992) meanwhile Carr S. is finding a new pattern of modern life and it seems be a drama of living together in an enormous building (Carr, et al., 1993). Base on the traditional history and the reports, public spaces have a same pattern but they still have the differences in some factor such as historical, cultural, social even though the behavior of people in specific residential
