Contrast the nature and spatial distribution of world cities with mega cities in the developing world? World cities= Tokyo, New York, London and Paris Mega Cities= Mexico City, Lagos, Beijing, Bangkok The nature, character and spatial distribution of world and megacities is dictated by the function they perform in the globalised economy, where they fall in the hierarchy of dominance and dependence, and their importance nationally and locally as a result of their role within their own nations. Nature The nature or world cities are largely defined by the process of globalisation. Since the 1950s the economics of the world richest economies have been increasingly integrated into the global economy, to such an extent now that they perform the role of command and control centres. This has occurred as a result of rapid advances in transport and telecommunications technology, such that it is now possible to buy and sell stock, place orders for delivery/production of good and discuss business strategy at the click of a button.
The frontier definitely moved at a different pace since they had horses and canoes versus cars, ships, planes, etc. Just think about how the Indian trails turned into roads, the roads then turned into turnpikes, then the railroads, etc. Improvements are always being made by each new generation, although, people may not realize the significance of our past history it is definitely a huge part of our present history. We need to understand the different stages of colonial life that brought about our development and advancement. From fur trading, farming, mines, and ranch life, each of these were very important and had a major influence on our economic and political history.
Having a straight forward set of laws that rule over all states leaves less gray area for interpretation. The Bankruptcy Reform Act had several life cycles that make up the legislation we have today. There was nearly a decade of intensive study and debate that made sweeping changes, most in favor of debtors. The government has been too strict with mortgage bankruptcies as of late.
al. (2004) analyzed how randomness played a role in the distribution of populations based on three characteristics – race, class, and life cycle – across various geographic levels. Segregation was measured as a value of randomness using a Theil’s H scale, where 0 was a value of complete randomness and 1 as completely intentional. The authors specifically focused on the cumulative four decade change of segregation across different geographical levels. It is important to note that the choice to analyze census data from 1960 was intentional, since it marks the onset of the civil rights movement as well as a decade following the onset of federal Housing and Highway
By looking at the Location pie chart one is able to determine that the majority of AJ Davis credit customers live in Urban areas, a little under fifty percent do so. A little over twenty five
Indianapolis is the county seat and the state capital of Indiana. Marion County consists of the towns of Beech Grove, Clermont, Crows Nest, Cumberland, Homecroft, Indianapolis, Lawrence, Meridian Hills, North Crows Nest, Rocky Ripple, Southport, Speedway, Spring Hill, Warren Park, Williams Creek, and Wynnedale. Looking at the data collected and using epidemiology, the following information is interpreted for Marion County: Population and Economic The county had a 1.7 percent (%) population increase from 2010 to 2012 (STATS Indiana, 2012). Population by race is as the following for Marion County: Caucasian 67.1(%), African Americans 27.4%, Hispanics 9.7%, Asian 2.3%, and Other 3.2% (U.S. Census, 2013). More residents now fall into the 25-44 age bracket; the median age is 33.9 years (STATS Indiana, 2011).
In recent years, Melbourne’s population size expanded rapidly, it has re-ignited a long-term argument between urban consolidation and urban sprawl. Melbourne’s development has been dominated by expanding low-density suburbs in the previous years,and only a few degree of development of consolidation has proceeded. However Melbourne envisages just over half of all new dwellings constructed between 2001 and 2030,about 16,000 per year,will be located within the built-up area. The rest will be built in the fringe Growth Areas in the thirty years, which means for Melbourne, the future is planned to be consolidated. (The Age, 2008) The essay will clear up some conceptions of sprawl and consolidation, clarifying why that urban consolidation may actually
Most Significant Events from World War II to Present Lena M. Ward HIS135 December 10, 2011 Karen N. Rogers This paper will look at the most significant events that occurred after World War II, from the 1950s to present day. Each decade had a single event that made a significant impact on the economic, political, and social culture within the United States. In 1956, President Eisenhower signed the Interstate Highway Act which improved the way American’s move around the country while providing a safe way to evacuate a city in case of a disaster. Johnson’s Great Society in the 1960s had a big impact on American’s as it dealt with issues of racial equality and poverty while increasing governments influence in people’s lives. The 1970s
One of the variables to consider when looking at the number of incidents reported in one metropolitan area compared to another is population. Although each city fell into the same population range in the Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics website, a more precise number of residents in each area should be considered. Knoxville Tennessee has a population of approximately 182,000 residents compared to Inglewood California, which has an approximate population of 112,000 residents (Neighborhood Scout, 2000-2014). This variable along with others may affect the crime rates in each metropolitan area. What were the Rates of Crime for each Area?
Suburbanization in American In the years following World War II the nation we all know and love underwent a massive migration of citizens into the Suburbs. The official definition of Suburb according to Merriam and Webster is an outlaying part of a city or town, or a smaller community adjacent to or within commuting distance of a city. The word Suburb is derived from the Latin word suburbium, meaning “under city”. In Rome, the term Suburbium was associated with those who were not wealthy enough to live within the city walls and were those of a lesser political power and wealth. The massive migration into the suburbs led to what is known as urban sprawl.
