The Location of Different Land Uses in LEDC Cities
In Nairobi there are eight different land uses within the city. These
are the CBD, open space, the industrial zone, high-income residential
areas, middle-income residential areas, shanty settlements, low-income
residential areas and self-help housing. Below is a model of the
functional zones within Nairobi.
The CBD (1) is the area where administration happens which includes
the Parliament Buildings and the prestigious Kenyatta International
Conference, commercial activities and shopping. Large hotels are also
located here and in the north of the CBD there is the University and
also the National Theatre. It is similar to that of 'western' cities
however congestion and competition for space are even greater here.
All the national buildings are in the CBD because they will be able to
afford the high rent prices as the government will be paying for them
as they use them and that money is provided by the people of the
country. There will be large hotels here as well because most tourists
will want to stay in the centre of the city as they won't want to be
staying in the shanty settlements etc which isn't as nice and probably
more dangerous. The hotels will also be a lot closer to the shops and
national buildings which tourists want to visit so the hotel owners
can charge highly, therefore being able to afford the rent.
Immediately to the west and north of the CBD, there is a lot of open
space. These include Uhuru Park and several other parks, sports
grounds and a golf course. There is also Nairobi National Park to the
south and Karura forest, which is outside the city boundaries. These
open spaces have occurred because the land, which surrounds the three
rivers (Mathare, Nairobi and Ngong), is swampy and malarial so would
be unsuitable to build upon. The golf course is in between the rivers
Mathare and Nairobi while the Nairobi National Park is south of the
River Ngong.
The industrial zone has grown in a linear fashion in a sector that
Reshaping Metropolitan America provides an outlook of the next fifteen years for infrastructure development in the United States. Nearly two-thirds of the buildings that will be necessary to handle the projected half billion residents of the Untied States by 2030 are not built yet. We also need to reshape our cities to handle the inversion trend; families and the next generation want to move back and live near downtown. Richard C. Nelson, the author, supports this population shift but does not strongly support it. Instead of trying to create room and additional infrastructure in downtown areas, Nelson believes that metropolitan areas should start to urbanize its suburbs to accommodate desired urban living. The American population is also changing
The arrival of immigrants triggered a rapid urbanization of the major cities in the United States. New buildings were built to keep up with the city’s population increase, new modes of transportation were built in order to get across the city faster, and settlement house were created The immigrants rushed into cities causing skyscrapers and tenements to be build. As a result of limited land, businesses decide to build the business up instead of out. In addition, many of the immigrants were poor, so the tenement was invented. A tenement is a building full of small apartments that would house many families. Document two shows an immigrant family living in one of these tenements. In addition, to changes in building there were also changes
Urban Consolidation Factors and Fallacies in Urban Consolidation: Introduction As proponents of urban consolidation and consolidated living continue to manifest in our society, we must ensure that our acknowledgment of its benefits, and the problems of its agitator (sprawl), do not hinder our caution over its continually changing objectives. Definition Like much urban policy, the potential benefits that urban consolidation and the urban village concept seek to offer are substantially undermined by ambiguous definition. This ambiguity, as expressed through a general lack of inter-governmental and inter-professional cohesion on this policy, can best be understood in terms of individual motives (AIUSH,1991). * State Government^s participatory role in the reduction of infrastructure spending.
Its not too far from the city but in saying that i think it needs to upgrade a lot of perspectives for the youth there is a lot of boredom here. Its not really a lot that a teenage person could do here”

Suburban sprawl is linked to obesity and type two diabetes. This will be the first generation of children whom will have a shorter life span than that of their parents. Obese children are not physically fit and have now become morbidly obese in today’s society. This is due in part to the lack of places for children to achieve the necessary exercise they need due to safety concerns.
According to Carnegie's Community Action project in Woodward’s Arena in 1995, there were alot of of low-income businesses, restaurants, abandoned, closed and vacant places. Due to the low-income a lot of businesses wasn’t making enough money so the restaurants were being shut down. (Doc.A) However, being in a low-income neighborhood the less fortunate had places to live and was somewhat happy. In 2012, there were still some low-income housing but majority of them were closed down. Due to majority of the low-income housing being closed the area was satisfying for the people that was more wealthy and financially stable.
The purpose of this paper is to examine the formation of urban sprawl including its impacts on people and to explore efficient alternatives. Urban sprawl is a common problem that the world is currently facing in the process of urbanization. The North America urban sprawl that began from 1950s has been regarded as an illness of urban developments. With the purpose of drawing lessons and enlightens to a sustainable urban planning, this paper tries to analyze social and economic reasons that have been the motivation of North American urban sprawl. And interpret the causes and effects of urban sprawl, and what can we take to mitigate this phenomenon? Secondly, the paper introduces the most famous new planning movements such as Sustainable Development, Smart Growth, New Urbanism and so on. Finally, based on above observation, the paper proposes that lessons should be drawn from North American’s mistakes and not follows them. Furthermore, the paper probes into several problems in seeking a proper urban space model and policy on the process of urbanization. We must alert urban sprawl and keep on exploring sustainable urban governance policy and pay attention to induct the public opinion on consumption and culture in finding for the mechanism of structural innovation. We should commit to build sustainable transport system to reduce the consumption of automobiles. We should promote multi-intensive model of land use in urban exploration.
...ties, eminently in Europe, did not at all followed the concentric circles model. For instance, in most pre-industrial European cities, the centre was much more consequential than the periphery, eminently in terms of convivial status. The Burgess concentric model is consequently partially inverted.
Problems in LEDC Cities Less economically developed countries, known as LEDCs, encounter many. problems such as infrastructure, pollution, education, employment and also a housing. The extent of the seriousness of these problems varies. in each country, but as the countries are not yet more economically.
IFAD (2014) contends that PLUP is a “process that results in a land-use plan or several land-use plans for a given goal, objective or set of objectives” (p. 1). It is an interactive and integrated process to realize high level of participation in land use planning projects and most importantly, to provide local community greater control over the process of development. Its role is to bring actors together for the purpose of developing a common vision and to agree upon a way forward – as part of this, tenure security could be improved. In particular, it provides an opportunity for marginalized groups to take part in project development process. Moreover, PLUP provides information and direction to the concerned community and to decision makers
Burgess further went on to write that there being a tendency for each inner zone to extend its reach into another area. Today, however, the center loop doesn’t just have one business but several businesses. And yet, this model and terminology are still being used to urban pl...
Cities all over the world are developing. As war ended in 1942, a significant number of people move to the city because they want to improve life. This urbanization process is causing a number of problems and should be met by sustainable development policies. In the beginning, it is important to know the definition of sustainable development. There are some definitions for sustainable development, but simply they say that sustainable development is a development which using resources now and preserving them for future generations (Adams, 1999, p.137). This concept has been agreed internationally at a Rio Conference in 1992 to be implemented by all government policies which mostly known as “Agenda 21” principles (Adams, 1999, p.141). This paper will show that traffic jams and housing problems caused by urbanization can be met by sustainable development policies. The structure of this paper will first explain the situation that leads to traffic jams and housing problems. Next, it will elaborate the sustainable development solutions, implications for the solutions, and evaluations how effective the sustainable development solutions solved the problems.
