Population growth and subsequent increases in economic activity are the catalyst for movement of people to common areas. In the case of Australian, towns & cities emerged as people emigrated from Europe; largely from the UK in the 18th and 19th centuries. Together in population growth, the growth in ideas and innovations lead to new industries and economics. From the time of colonisation, Sydney was a town with an economy based around the maritime industry. As it was located next to an ocean port, manufacturing and trade in commodities was central to its growth.
Task 1: Geography and the Development/Diffusion of Human Societies Princess Dana Catacutan Part A The most significant geographic factor that contributed to the development of the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia were the two rivers that surrounds it. Tigris and Euphrates rivers served great source of food and used for irrigation of crops. It was an ideal place for early people to settle in Mesopotamia to utilize the life giving water of these two rivers. Also, the two rivers were used for transportation and trade. Irrigation from the two rivers made it possible for the early settlers to farm and had abundant crops for trade.
With reference to waste management in urban areas discuss the extent to which sustainability can be achieved? A sustainable city is one that meets the needs of its both its present and future inhabitants, and an effective waste management system is often an underlying principle deployed in order to achieve successful sustainability in urban areas. Waste management usually refers to materials produced by human activity, and defined as the collection, transport, processing and disposal of this waste. It is of vital importance - particularly with recent global warming issues - that urban areas implement a successful waste management scheme, and examples such as the Bristol ‘Poo Bus’ and the ‘Waste to Energy’ programme in Copenhagen show that across the world urbanised areas are trying to address the issue. The more traditional forms of waste management, such as incineration, landfill and composting are heavily debated; which is the best method of waste disposal?

‘Positive’ Gentrification, Social Control and the ‘Right to the City’ in Mixed-Income Communities: Uses and Expectations of Space and Place Summary: Due to the consequences of concentrated urban poverty and racial segregation that resulted from “public housing”, a major policy focus over the past two decades that been to promote the development of mixed-income communities – which typically consist of public housing residents, affordable (reduced rent or purchase) housing residents, and market-rate (rent or purchase) residents. This strategy has been coined, “Positive gentrification”, whereby these mixed-income communities would then benefit the lower-income residents by integrating them into a better neighborhood. The value of “positive gentrification (481-482)” draws from “social disorganization theory”

The population demographic consists mostly of young adults with a median age of 32 years and an average income of $33,512.

As an example of the effectiveness of risk communication and the importance of the involvement of different parties, we should look at the Secured by design (SBD) award scheme, that aims at encouraging housing developers to design out crime at the concept or planning stage, some of the stakeholders involved include the Police force (Architectural liaison officers), architects & local government officials, this is an evolving process that must keep abreast of current trends and criminal developments (which it has done) security managers would do well to take note of the effectiveness, the original evaluation of SBD within West Yorkshire revealed positive findings, and many felt that there was little point re-assessing the effectiveness of SBD, given that the research had shown SBD to be effective. However, to be complacent about the merits of SBD, or any crime prevention
