Many towns and cities are impacted by these geographical issues, Sydney is one of them. Therefore they are in need of managements. Urban growth is caused by various pull factors, including better educational and employment opportunities, better facilities and the large variety of service industries. However urban sprawl, the continuous outward growth of urban area to great distance from the city centre, causes a number of problems within the society and its environment. For example, building infrastructures, managing waste disposal, the use of natural resources and energy consumption cost a substantial amount of money.
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).
Because of the creation of more job opportunities, a rise in population occurred. This rise created many problems including air and water pollution, increased crime rates, poverty, deforestation, and the formation of slums. Though urbanization had negative effects, positive outcomes also occurred. It was this large scale migration that forced the government to enact policies to take care of these people. The initiative of the government to take interest of the works, modernization of the infrastructure, opening of schools, providing proper sanitations and bringing about health and water facilities (Urbanization During the Industrial Revolution, 2010).

The use of gentrification can be viewed by cities and towns as a means to economic development and urban renewal. It has aided in local economic and community revitalization, increased tourism and employment, and preserved regional history, culture, and pride. However, gentrification has not been a benefit to everyone. Gentrification may benefit the upper and middle classes, but the effects of it are often detrimental to low income residents because it forces them to adjust to a lifestyle that they cannot afford. Some see it as simply driving the problems further under the surface or into other areas, rather as a means to revitalizing local communities.
Using named examples, assess the advantages and disadvantages of top down and bottom up development strategies (15 marks) Development is the ways in which a country seeks to develop economically and to improve the standards of living for its inhabitants. Numerous development strategies both top down and bottom up can be used by countries to help them progress. However, while these may be advantageous in certain areas, not all strategies are as effective everywhere and thus problems can arise with top down and bottom up development schemes. Top down strategies are generally capital-intensive and often conducted by the government. The main criticism of these schemes is the fact that the money which is supposedly meant to aid the poorest people in the country who are most in need is actually diverted to those who are richer instead.
Approaches of Henry George and Walter Rauschenbusch Henry George offered a single value tax on land property. This tax would be so large that it would give an incentive for the owner to use the land in a productive way.

As economic growth occurred, so did technological advances.

Therefore people have to be able to just up roots and “follow the work”. The mobility would be a lot easier for a nuclear family than an extended family due to the fact that there are less people to move. Secondly there was a high demand for a socially mobile workforce.
