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. Both urban dynamics urban sprawl and urban consolidation have made a major impact on areas of Sydney’s development, future trends, ecological sustainability and in particular, the growth and population growth of the city. A major factor of urban sprawl of which impacts areas on the fringe of city of Sydney such as Liverpool and Leppington is the increased population and the expansion of the boundaries of the city. As the city expands, more affordable and larger housing become available within the outskirts. This attracts more residents triggering the increase of Sydney’s population.
The massive migration into the suburbs led to what is known as urban sprawl. Urban sprawl is the spreading outwards of a city and making the suburbs its outskirts which is why our major cities in our country are the sizes they are today. By enlarging each cities boundaries, it lead to the creation of zoning, which is still in affect and plays a vital role in our society. Suburbanization in America was due to several factors including the over crowding of cities, pollution, new infrastructure, and the belief of a lower quality of life in the city. In this era the United States was under going some major changes that were developing the country into how we know it today.
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.
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.
‘Urban areas have a significant impact on climatic characteristics’ Discuss the statement [40] An urban area is a region surround a city; they include the surrounding areas as well as the city itself. High population density and vast human features in comparison to the surrounding areas are characteristics of urban areas. Other characteristics include transport links and high rise buildings for dwelling and working. Due to the vast number of urban areas, the activities of these areas will obviously have some effect on the climatic characteristics, but I will attempt to answer how significant the effects are and if there are any other contributing factors. Urban heat island climates usually occur in more built up urban areas.
The development and subsequent transformation of rural regions and small towns to cities saw a transformation of policing. A rapid growth and increase in population was another key factor in the changes and developments in policing. Development of cities and drastic population growth were two integral factors that facilitated and enhanced the growth and development of policing. They called for the establishment of a formal and well-organized police unit, which would be employed and paid on a 24 hours basis. Departments of police at the municipal levels were developed and this happened consequentially in different states.
“The real estate market is affected and formed not only by economic and productive factors, but, also by various qualitative characteristics of the natural and human environment” (Nikolaos, Dimitra, & Agapi, 2011, para. 1). The case study shows how cities evolve and change a great deal over time. The relationship that people once had with city living is turning more toward nature living. Factors that influence this change are the economic, environmental, and social
(Champagne & Harpham, 21) Texas seems to be urbanizing more and more. This shift brings about economic growth and diversification which means new roads will have to be built, more construction, and expanded water and sewer systems (window.tx.state.us, Susan Combs, Texas in Focus: A Statewide View of Opportunities) thus creating many more jobs as well. A state that was once majority Anglo’s has become a state of all races, which has also driven the growth in population. Texas is now a state where different ethnicities have a larger number that the Anglo’s. People are coming from all over to work in the oil field particularly.
Nevertheless, a massive segment of the population relocated to urban regions, which was the catalyst of to the growth of the population, unsanitary surroundings, and fitness issues. There was a surge in life expectancy because of the sudden accessibility of health care, food, clothing and shelter. This section will discuss five ways that industrialization affected the life of the average working American: The living conditions were the first aspect that was effectively changed for the average American during the Industrial Revolution. The development of U.S. cities conferred an increase of numerous characteristics of urban life not seen previously. One such feature was the spread of tenements , which were narrow four to five-story buildings with few windows, limited plumbing and electricity, and tiny rooms often packed with people, mainly immigrants.
A city of the future We live in a time when the number of the population is steadily growing. In search of a better life, people flock to cities, thus contributing to the process of urbanization. Cities is growing and engulfing the surrounding countryside, bringing with them a negative impact on the environment. Industrialization brought with consumer behavior, it seems that the city has turned into a huge commercial company, in which all put up for sale. The billboards, rural highways, power poles and wires, competing traffic and city signals, a convulsive mass of distracting color, form and motion, obscure the identity of individual signs.
