New York City in 1887 was a well-established suburban society. With the population explosion and an unparalleled construction period that encouraged the building of equally appealing and advantageous structures, such as commercial offices, lavigant homes, and public service stations, all influenced by the taste of its architect. These remarkable structures came with a cost expensive to the public, despite their mesmerizing effects to the people. However, the pride that came with the new buildings, for example amphitheaters, was very rewarding to the city and its people. Official buildings, such as schools, court houses, hospitals and capitals were opened just as much as recreational and monumental structures, such as department stores and the Brooklyn Bridge were constructed.
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. World cities are cities such as New York, London, Paris and Tokyo, and they fall into global hierarchy of dominance and dependence more of which will be discussed in character. Mega cities in the developing world contract a great deal to this. Whereas world cities play important roles globally, megacities in the DW tend to have their influence limited to the nation in which they exist. This is a result of the fact that more than 40% of the less developed nations population live in megacities; making them large hubs for population, employment and free riding off services such as sanitation and water not provided in rural areas (and only marginally supplied in megacities incidentally).
This growth is often accompanied by an increase in the amount of auditing as compared to other services (Whittington, p 20). Public accounting firms with offices in most major cities in the United States are called national firms. These firms may operate internationally as well, either with their own offices or through affiliations with firms in other countries (Whittington, p 20). Often in the news are the large international public accounting firms. Since only a very large public accounting firm has sufficient staff and resources to audit a giant corporation, these firms audit nearly all of the largest American corporations.
Two symbols of the city are the Statue of Liberty that greeted millions of immigrants and Wall Street a dominant financial center since World War II. New York City is also the birthplace for many American cultural movements. Nearly 170 languages are spoken and 36% of the New Yorkers are not American-Born.

At that time, the riverfront was small and not up to par. The biggest benefit was that you could live 5 minutes to Manhattan and not pay New York taxes. Therefore, the city bought out most of the property around my city. One day my Aunt received a knock on the door with a blank check from an investor to negotiate a price. Unlike Kelo’s case, they negotiated a price that was irresistible to refuse.
Although there are many similarities between the development of Chicago and Chongqing, the speed and scale of Chongqing’s development is unprecedented and puts it in a class of its own. Chongqing is growing eight times as fast as Chicago had, averaging three hundred thousand new people a year. These citizens migrate to cities like Chongqing mainly for employment. In China, there is a massive pool of labor that will work for very low wages, as many Chinese individuals are used to surviving on less than two dollars a day. Combine inexpensive labor with modern factory technology, and one may understand the reason for huge investments in city expansion projects and infrastructure, and perhaps the Chinese competitive advantage.
Chastidy Rimolo Reading upon both articles, Both Robert A.M. Stern and Kenneth Jackson have strong and persuasive points of views towards the East Midtown rezoning. Robert Stern, in this article, he gives this impression that he isn’t completely against the moment, but then again he is not completely for it. As an Architect himself, he seems to be for it, but then he questions everything about the on going project. East Midtown happens to be a very populated and dense area in Manhattan, Stern paints out how hard transportation can be in that neighborhood of the New York City. Not having access to much infrastructure as he used, with the new construction, how will people have transportation that isn’t already as difficult as it already is?
The mall was created as a place to shop, hold events, and spend leisure time. The targeted clientele of Pacific Mall are those of Asian background. Pacific Mall uses its reputation as the largest Chinese indoor mall in Canada to market itself as well as hosting events such as Halloween, Christmas, and other special events that would appeal to its primarily Chinese clientele. Pacific Mall's store layout is very different from The Shops of Don Mills. In Pacific Mall, there are small mini stores located in close proximity with each other whereas in the Shops of Don Mills, they are larger and given a clear distinct impression that they are all separate.

By traveling, it gives chance people to communicate with other people from different cultural backgrounds and exchange the customs. It unites the world and narrows down the difference economic status among nations. Since ancient time, the travelers were not pleasure seeker. Marcopolo traveled to the India, China and Mongolia and brought back the Indian spices and silk from eastern counties which could not be found in Europe at that time.
