He explains that the goal of the project is to generate economic benefits ($31.5 billion) and to allow more freight trains to traverse the city smoothly, benefitting the nation due to Chicago’s position as the intermediary between railway transactions. The author discusses the importance operative infrastructure in keeping the city running. He references a splintering stretch of rail on the 75th street corridor, utilised by freight and commuter trains. Consequently, Sanburn emphasises the importance of verbal communication between the Belt Railway of Chicago (BRC) and the ‘CSX’ railroad that crosses BRC’s lines to ensure that no clashes occur. Sanburn stresses that communication systems do not reduce traffic, as trains must obtain approval from the BRC prior to transit.

For example, students may explore the causes and effect of climate change, investigating the economic, social and environmental factors which contribute to this contemporary global issue. By exploring this issue, students develop a deeper understanding of the interrelation between human activities and ecosystems and discover ways that they can take action. Another key concept included in the curriculum is Democracy and Citizenship, which explores Australia’s

It awoke me to the real issues of sustainability such as animal displacement and land clearing and made me realise that the same destruction is most likely occurring all around the globe due to exponential human growth. The Brundtland Report stated that our planet is passing through a period of dramatic growth concluding that the population could stabilize between 8 and 14 billion in the next century (WCED, 1987). Camping at Illaroo gave me a deeper appreciation for the programs created and implemented to help rejuvenate our delicate ecosystem. It gave me the enthusiasm to want to get involved in more sustainable practices and the drive to protect the smaller creatures that couldn’t protect themselves. The hidden aspect of my experiences that has continuously taught me the most about environmental sustainability has been my family.

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.

Many artists express their core values, whether it be political, social, or moral, through their creations, which display the individual decisions made in their artistic process. No matter the form of art, each artistic decision offers a multitude of opportunities to tell a story, evoke emotion, and captivate audience members. By examining two seemingly different works, Greta Gerwig’s 2023 movie Barbie and Howardena Pindell’s 1988 painting Autobiography: Air (CS560), themes of injustice and identity manifest in both. Through the utilization of juxtaposition, repetition, and color scheme, each artist employs a unique presentation of the meaning of acceptance into society.

I look forward to helping students to develop a drive for personal academic excellence and a rich perspective on the world around them as they explore links between the individual, society, and the natural world. The potential of secondary geography is to stimulate an interest in the wider world through learning knowledge, both in and beyond the classroom, and acquiring geographical and transferable skills to last a lifetime. I am currently studying a broad-based geography degree ranging from economic to cultural geography, but also including staples of classroom geography including development, coastal processes and volcanology. My subject knowledge is strong and wide-ranging and aligned to both current GCSE and A-Level specifications and

Each species develops niches, which are specializations that allow the species to perform a specific task and help the system as a whole to function. The examples provided by Wessels are intriguing. I was aware that species had so adaptations which ensured their survival, but Wessels description came as a surprise to me because I did not know that each species adaptation affected the entire ecosystem and these niches were not only to help them survive, but also allowed the system to survive. Furthermore, the biodiversity’s interdependence reminded me of mankind’s interdependence on each other. As Wessels continued his description I realized that the city is also a type of ecosystem, where everybody has their specific role or niche, for instance the police to provide security, news channels to provide information etc and if any one of these systems did not complete their task as a whole the system as a whole would fail.

Exercise #:1 Artifact/Context/Benefit Statement Name: Yanan Tang Discipline/Degree: Master of Urban Design artifact： Developing ecological corridors for Arizona State University in Tempe An urban ecological corridor is an urban network system consisting of several ecological landscape elements, including patches, corridors, habitats, and stepping stones. Through the connection of these landscape elements, including ecological core areas, nodes and links (strip-type corridors), a corridor system connected to habitats and a variety of green spaces can be established to allow the local biota to move, migrate, and survive during environmental changes.[1] Based on the concept of ecological corridor, I set the area around the Arizona State University

My strong interest in human geography stemmed from studying the subject from GCSE to A – level, I have gained a deeper understanding of global issues such as climate change, migration and extreme sex ratios and how these issues have social, economic, environmental and political impacts which can vary from a regional to international scale. I have witnessed some of these impacts first hand relating to climate change, I visit the French Alps on an annual basis and each year I see the increasing effect of climate change with increasing snow melt and accelerating glacier retreat. ___________________________________________________________________________ I would relish the opportunity to study geographical concepts and theories and then conduct fieldwork where these theories can be tested, evaluated and analysed. I recently carried out an investigation based upon the differing levels of rurality of settlements with increasing distance from the Central Business District, initially based upon Cloke’s index of rurality. I like to research the hypothesises of others like Cloke but partaking in fieldwork where I can prove or disprove theories and

Shakespeare’s genius for dramatic clarity has also inspired music, art, and dance in nearly every culture. Within classical music, Russian composer Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote “Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture” in 1869; Finnish composer Jean Sibelius wrote “The Tempest: Complete Incidental Music to Shakespeare” in 1926; and German composer Richard Wagner took influence from Measure for Measure for his opera “Das Liebesverbot” in 1834. William Shakespeare has also impacted the musical theatre world, inspiring productions such as Kiss Me, Kate (1948) and more recently, Something Rotten (2015.) The playwright’s influence is found in some pop music and can be identified in songs like “Love Story” by Taylor Swift and even “I Am the Walrus” by

Pyrmont’s population is projected to reach 20,000 by 2020, which means that further development of the suburb is required to sustain this growing population. The development and construction of more and more apartments will inevitably increase the suburb’s and Sydney’s ecological footprint. There has, however, been the recent development of sustainable apartment blocks, which consists of water conserving taps, solar energy panelling, natural gas outlets and other sustainable aspects of development. Transport has also been revitalised in the Pyrmont area with over 34% of the residential population utilising the facilities. The new light rail and monorail systems, train, bus and ferry networks play a major role in sustaining the suburbs ecological sustainability.
