Analyse the impact of at least TWO urban dynamics on the growth,development, future trends and ecological sustainability, of a large city in the developed world. Both urban sprawl and urban consolidation are urban dynamics which are a result of Sydney’s population growth. Urban sprawl is the extreme spread of an urban place of which has made large impacts particularly on the growth and ecological sustainability of the outskirts of Sydney. More affordable and more spatial housing is made available, however there are many negative impacts on the ecological environment, including land degradation. The urban consolidation of inner city areas in Sydney such as Pyrmont has played a large role in the areas development of culture and future trends including the increase of high-rise residential buildings due to the increased population density.
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.
5. How rapid urban growth forced adaptations to severe problems of government mismanagement, poverty, inadequate housing, and precarious health and safety conditions. 6. How the urban environment served as the locus for new philosophical ideas, fresh approaches to education, rapid expansion in journalism, and a new consumerism. 7.
Later on, concerns about individual health and cleanliness to prevent disease encouraged the development of the Health care and welfare services. The following essay will show how the number of reforms that took place during this time not only transformed Public Health throughout the 19th Century, but also set down the framework for future reform and laid down the foundation of what Public Health is today. From 1801 to 1901, the number of people living in the cities increased 78%. (Halliday, 2007, p 19) The modernisation of agriculture and industry caused a growing prosperity and this attracted migrations of people to the industrialised cities and towns, which suffered an unexpected demographic growth. Britain was the first industrialised nation, the so-called ‘industrial shop of the world’ and had a reputation to keep.
‘Suburbanisation is a result of improvements in Transport’ to what extend do you agree with this statement? Suburbanisation can be described as the movement of people, industry and services from the centre of inner urban areas outward to the fringes of major cities also known as the suburbs. It is one of the many causes of the increase in urban sprawl. In this essay I will be discussing whether or not the improvement in Transport has led to this increase in Suburbanisation or if other factors (such as……) have played a significant role also. Los Angeles and London are both good examples of this process which began in the 1900’s and is still occurring today.
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”
Running head: KEY AREAS OF URBAN LIFE TO IMPROVE 3 KEY AREA OF URBANLIFE TO IMPROVE FOR BETTER CITY LIFE SHAH HARSH Pro.MacDonald 1. Imagine you are the mayor of New York City.

Lacia Vaughan 5 November 2012 ENGWR 102 The Effects of Urban and Rural Living What is the difference between Urban and Rural living? What are the pros and cons of living either of these different lives? Lets us see. Urban Sprawl is the uncontrolled spread of urban areas, usually taking place on the outskirts of cities, involving the mass construction of residential areas and commercial buildings. Two causes for this being the fact that land and housing costs are cheaper compared to cities, and higher property and business taxes have pushed businesses to the suburbs where taxes are typically low.
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.
