The reasons for moving to urban cities in India include search for employment opportunities, accessibility to health care facilities and other social amenities, good infrastructure, and to improve living standards (Spence, Annez & Buckley, 2009). Urbanization in India is associated with positive and negative effects. On the side of positive results, urbanization in India has led to expansion of industrial sector (Spence, Annez & Buckley, 2009). This is one of the main positive results of urbanization because people from rural areas supply labor force in various industries. This has a positive impact in regard to production and industries continue to expand.
Secondly as we begin to see the change in the fringe, it begins to become largely urban as opposed to rural: welcoming suburbanization. This change usually takes place at the urban boundary of the fringe. At some point, we begin to see problems emerge as there develops a competition for land use from buyers. This is due to the fact that the rural-urban fringe offers many advantages for economic developers including: cheaper land than compared to in the city center, room for expansion, attractive environment with little pollution, good accessibility, and workers who are available close by. The fringe is a main attraction for shopping centers, cemeteries, hospitals, colleges, prison facilities, many farms, recreation facilities such as golf courses and horse racing sites, retail parks, waste disposal sites, business parks, and a large range of residential sites.
Land use model-A land use model is a simplification of an area’s real life distribution of various facilities and it details complex patterns. We can use these patterns to explain the distribution of these facilities and what the land is used for in relation to wealth, history and most importantly, location. Rural-urban migration-This is the most significant fact in the growth of an area in an LEDC (e.g. São Paulo). This is the process in which a larger proportion of people begin to move from rural areas and live in areas of greater urban development.
Car exhaust causes pollution such as carbon dioxide which is caused from the burning of fuel. This is a major issue for our environment but an even larger issue in urbanized areas. These areas have millions of cars on the road everyday producing a massive amount of air pollutions to one congested area. This is one leaning factor to Global Warming. With urbanization comes expansion when this happens cities must make more roads, buildings, roads and homes to accommodate its population.
There were five trends in the external environment favored the pursuit of the Chevy Volt project. First, oil prices were increasing because of growing demand in developed nations and limited new supplies. Second, global warming was an increasing concern. Many regulations limiting carbon emissions would be launched soon. This would affect gas-consumed automobiles.
Finally I will finish off the paper by concluding with a summary of each topic followed by two charts showing the positives and negatives of each vehicle and the benefits it has for families, divorcees, and finally the single and married population. The point of this paper is to make buyers aware of the advantages and disadvantages of both car and motorcycle to help better their understanding of their efficiency and to help them make better decisions in what type of transportation would be a better choice for them. Pollution is a very serious problem that we as humans seem to be facing right now; it is so serious that we are almost frowned upon if we do not shop with the “green” shopping bags. But an even bigger pollution problem we have is the pollution that everyday vehicles produce. Everyday vehicles create so much pollution that car emissions kill 30,000 people each year in the U.S. (Bluejay, 1).
Urban Sprawl: currently urban sprawl is the most colossal phenomenon our world is experiencing - Urban sprawl is known as an uncontrollable spread of urban development the concept includes spreading outwards from a cities core to low density suburbs that are automobile dependent urban development on the outskirts of the city is growing faster than development of the infrastructure, due to the intensive growth of suburbs Disadvantages: - Urban sprawl contributes to the degradation of our natural environment,air quality and water resources,as well as the consumption of agricultural lands and other natural resources so critical to the future economy. inefficient use of land/ infrastructure - inefficient use of infrastructure, and isolated communities carry with them high social, environmental, and economic costs. These costs not only undermine the high quality of life that Ontarians expect, but also severely reduce the Province’s ability to attract skilled workers and compete with other jurisdictions around the world. low density dependence on automobiles: inefficient land use, often found at the edge of town or in rural areas Loss of farm land - natural resources, endangerment of species Advantages: Economic stimulation: the development being created by urban sprawl is creating many new job opportunities (1.7 million jobs are expected to be created by 2031), helping to continue the growth of our economy. Lower Land prices: Developers are buying land further away from the inner rings of the Greater Golden Horseshoe, this is due to low purchase prices Single family homes: the fact that they are building on the outer lines of the GGH, it gives them to build housing in areas of low density zoning lower crime rate in the suburbs, How did we get to this point?
These inventions are the cornerstone of American life today, the building blocks that paved the way for a plethora of innovative ideas. One example, and probably the biggest example, of technology affecting us is the automobile. Just try to think of life today without the automobile. It’s quite hard isn’t it? Imagine how difficult the commute to work would be, how hard traveling to school or going to a friend’s house would become.
Due to the history of these sites, many will be contaminated and pose threats to health and the environment. Furthermore, Brownfield sites are more expensive to develop than floodplains or Greenfield land because they usually require a lot of regeneration to get them up to standard. On the other hand, there are many benefits of building on Brownfield sites. In England, the government has said that sixty per cent of all new homes should now be built on Brownfield sites as they offer the opportunity to recycle used land, therefore protecting Greenfield sites and promoting sustainability. They also allow for the use of existing sewage systems and services such as transport.
Changing Urban Environments: What are the characteristics and causes of urbanisation? (Urbanisation=a process where an increasing proportion of the population lives in towns and cities) Causes: Rural-urban migration and natural increase. Rural urban migration works because of push and pull factors bringing someone from the countryside to the city. Pushes factors include bad living quality and pull factors include better jobs. Natural increase is where more people come into the city because of natural factors such as more births.
