amenities, housing availability and environment. Acts of urban renewal from the government has allowed for the parts of the two suburbs undergoing urban decay to recover and restore the run-down amenities. Urban gentrification and consolidation caused population density to go up along with the cost of living. Due to the urbanization process housing becomes more high-quality, and expensive.

Madanipour, (1996) talked about ambiguities of understanding urban design and the complexities of perceiving urban spaces. One of the most important features of urban space is to make sense of a city life when walking along any of its streets, to think about the complexity of what is seen , and to wonder about what lies behind buildings facades or beyond the bend of the street. The urban space is full of overlapping and intertwined stories that this collection of people, objects and events

2.1 Urbanization and river water quality Due to movement of people from rural to urban areas, physical growth of the urban areas occurs, which ultimately leads to the urbanization, Over the past several years, river systems have always been extensively altered to meet various human demands, which led to them becoming the most intensively influenced ecosystems by human activities on the Earth (Nilsson, et al., 2005 )]. ‘’Among these human activities, the influence of urbanization on river systems
we facilitate the accommodation of over half of the 3.5 billion people on the planet in these urban landscapes is paramount to both our impact on the remaining natural environment, and the quality of life we live. Sustainability is a word thrown about with great frequency but little definition in relation to the built environment in contemporary specification, advertising and academic texts, and while society as a whole must take a greater responsibility in the use and re-use of natural resources
Urbanisation has the ability to be defined in several ways according to different views by using different characteristics and looking at the history of past experiences. It has been identified throughout the early rise of the Canadian cities, as well as being affected and referred to by the growth and changes of the regions in Canada. Although urbanisation can be defined as the process of which a big number of people permanently move in to a somewhat small area forming a city, excluding

Steel, Jared Diamond opposed the idea that European civilizations have advanced further than their contemporaries in other continents because their inhabitants were intellectually superior. Instead, he supported the notion that some civilizations developed at a quicker pace than others because of the environmental differences that were present in the continents where they resided. Factors such as wildlife, climate, and the types of resources presented in an area have dramatically affected the growth
result of trade and the exchange of culture. Big companies that were once national companies have become trans-national companies (TNCs). These companies are mostly based in MEDCs (More Economically Developed country’s) such as the US or the UK. The TNCs invest in MEDCs and LEDCs (less economically developed country) to maximize their benefit. Most TNCs including Nike get their products manufactured in LEDCs such as China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Bangladesh. There are many reasons why TNCs manufacture
Unlike in Developed countries, who are already well established in terms of infrastructure and the standard of living, tax planning comes with a whole lot of severe repercussions in our Developing country, such as depriving economic upliftment as these taxes are used
scale”. It is a phenomenon that has been in the front burner for several years. Certain individuals opine that it serves as an advantage for the developing countries to compete in the global market while others were of the opinion that it favors the developed countries by making them richer (Giddens, A. 1999). Due to these debates, it can be said that globalization has its negative and positive sides. This essay will focus on how globalization
Trans-Pacific Partnership is also expected to enhance the global food security, especially for countries who have major food needs. By improving global food security, the starvation levels will decrease and the poverty levels will increase in less developed nations. Overall, it seems that the Trans-Pacific Partnership will be extremely beneficial to the economies of the countries who have signed the agreement. By increasing trade, reducing tariffs, expanding jobs and opportunities, and reducing poverty
Another reason so many industrial jobs have left the most developed nations is because of the environmental regulations their governments have imposed. In order to protect the environment, strict limitations are placed on pollution and waste. A consequence of these restrictions is that the companies that employ people send the jobs to countries where the environmental standards are much less stringent. Thus, although the environment is better served by the laws against environmental degradation
Materialism Materialism is defined as “a tendency to consider material possessions and physical comfort as more important than spiritual values.”. In our current society of consumerism and industrialism, developed countries of the world are also facing a huge increase in materialistic values. The background colours of the poster are purple and green. These colours are opposing on the colour wheel, and therefore contrast nicely. The purple side of the poster is featured behind the “wealthier” side
the balance of social, political, economic and environmental factors. Globalization creates changes in all aspects of our lives, from the food people eat, the work people do, the clothes that people wear, what people read, listen to, and even the environment surrounding us. The four factors of globalization are communication technologies, trade, the media, and transportation. We are connected to other parts of the world through all of these factors. These factors are contributing to a more prosperous
modified organisms. Producers must protect their working environment, such as forests, soil, water, endangered plant and animal species and also must deal with waste and erosion problems efficiently.

Because some people argue that globalization help poor countries to become economically good state & make their living standards improve ,while others arguing that the creation of the free market concepts enable developed countries to make more money at the expense of poor countries resources, labour & cultural unbalances.

in by rules and regulations. The blind and ideologically motivated downgrading of the environment in pursuit of economic growth has a hidden cost. Granted that several industries, specifically emphasizing the electric industry, go out of their way to maximize profits and exploit their resources, such as the environment, it supports the claim that “in today’s world, political money is corrupting the environment” (United Republic 2013). Overall, many electric
