To obtain grass again dirt must be placed down along with grass seeds and be artificially grown. In the event that we need once again more farmland many of the flat land in urban areas is all ready being used by parking lots and such other constructs. In my opinion I believe that the construction of new buildings on new plots of land has to come to an end relatively soon before their is no more land for anyone to us. However, I agree with the idea of putting up new building. I agree with the idea of using all ready ruined land such as old strip malls and other such places to build these new buildings.
Will Krew Professor Rosado-Ramirez ANTHRO 101-6 2 March 2023 Argumentative Essay Often nicknamed the factory of sadness, Cleveland, Ohio has recently struggled to retain its population. In its early years, Cleveland, a key city in the Rust Belt, experienced immense growth with the manufacturing boom of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As a result, Cleveland’s population peaked at 900,000 residents in 1950; however, as manufacturing subsided across the United States in favor of a technological era, Cleveland’s current population has declined to below 370,000 (“Cleveland”). Although many cities with economies based around manufacturing encountered similar declines in the late twentieth century, many of these cities, such as Chicago and
Recently, gentrification has become an epidemic that’s sweeping across big cities in the United States, from New York, Los Angeles, all the way to Austin. Where there was once a bunch of shabby suburb of low income homes is now a neighborhood of town homes. Gentrification is, “The process of renewal and rebuilding accompanying the influx of middle-class or affluent people into deteriorating areas that often displaces poorer residents.” locally, this epidemic is infecting Austin, more specifically, East Austin. East Austin is losing its culture and along with it, the people who created the East Austin culture.
Houston is located 165 miles (266 km) east of Austin,[42] 112 miles (180 km) west of the Louisiana border, and 250 miles (400 km) south of Dallas.[43] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 656.3 square miles (1,700 km2); this comprises 634.0 square miles (1,642 km2) of land and 22.3 square miles (58 km2) covered by water.[44] The Piney Woods are north of Houston.

Much of the city was built on forested land, marshes, swamp, or prairie which resembles the Deep South, and are all still visible in surrounding areas.

As cash streams into an area, numerous parts of ordinary life are improved. Structures and stops are remodeled and embellished. Employments land with the expanded development action and new retail and administration organizations. Wrongdoing rates decrease.
The Urban Revolution I believe to be a revolution not just a spark in history because of the amazing advancements that were made in the span of time. Comparing Urban Revolution to the Industrial Revolution both were major in our history wherein the Urban Revolution humans were becoming better at self-providing for an increasing population while the Industrial Revolution was about becoming better at using machinery to do the jobs for us through machinery. In the book, it says “Gordon Childe considered technology and the development of craft specialization in the hands of full-time artisans a cornerstone of the Urban Revolution” (Fagin, pg. 212). Large food surpluses, diversified farming economies, and irrigation agriculture are just but three
The wind was blowing, the birds were chirping and the trees were dancing in the cool autumn breeze. for anyone else that seems like a ideal, but for me that day was miserable I had allergies and it was the height of allergy season and I had just made the unwise decision of jumping into a pile of leaves. But, my miserable predicament is not the reason that I’m writing this story. The reason that I’m writing this story is to tell you about my relationship with the place that I have been living in for the last nine and half years.
Gentrification, or urban redevelopment has become a dominate point of debate in American cities. The biggest critique of gentrification is that it leads to cultural degeneration and the displacement of the poor and people of color, and the disruption of economic growth and stability for communities. Corporations identify ideal sections of urban cities which have advantageous or strategic settings and communities that have striking cultural characteristics or countercultures. From there, renewal morphs culture into a pleasing simulation of cultured utopia. In his book, America, postmodern philosopher, Jean Baudrillard insists that “All societies end up wearing masks.”

Michael Pesso Professor Lee Ballestero 8 June, 2018 Sprawl Debate Assignment After reading and analyzing both the “Principles of New Urbanism” document and “The Sprawl Debate” document, I definitely notice some similarities and differences on many of issues going on. More specifically for this assignment, I will be comparing and contrasting the issue of Social Inequality. To start off, the one thing that I can think about after reading the two pieces was that it seems like the “Principles of New Urbanism” document discusses the smart growth movement as if it were a make believe fantasy place and “The Sprawl Debate” is the harsh reality of it. Also, the “New Urbanism” document does not really have any real plans of actions but only just ideas
The term sprawl intends to extend with an absence of thought. When I picture a canine sprawling on a lounge chair: paws on every one of the pills, one foot toward the end of the love seat and one on the inverse end of the sofa, face down in the cushions. The meaning of urban sprawl is the same as the
When it comes to the effects of urban sprawl on the poorer people, they are left behind in the more undesirable inner parts of the city. Urban sprawl causes the government to increase taxes on the houses outside the city and place restrictions on building new homes within the city. Just like any issue pertaining to government, urban sprawl has its pros and cons. Based on what I’ve read, I don’t think this is a moral or ethical issue.
“FGHI is a newly resettled urban colony in a big city in India. Most of the inhabitants were engaged in various informal economic sectors in their prior area of habitation. As they were made to resettle in a distant place located at the periphery of the city, many people got disengaged from their previous occupations.
