In history, the Modern Era is a time that is identify because profound changes marked the development of many cities. In the early modern era, cities grew through general economic grow throughout all Europe. The agriculture production increased as well as the production of rural commodities, which were used for trading. A new phenomenon called global trading was starting to emerge. The different European manufactures were exported to different destinations, and since “Urban economy relies in trade and manufacture the grow of these two activities favored urban growth.” Cities throughout all Europe were evolving, expanding and changing. “In Europe, the surge of industry during the mid- and late 19th century was accompanied by rapid population growth, unfettered business enterprise, great speculative profits, and public failures in managing the unwanted physical consequences of development.” However, as the industrialization was fostered, the congestion and the disorder were growing in the same way in the different European cities. Therefore, during this progressive era, efforts to improve the urban environment emerged from the recognition of the need of urban planning. The vision of a modern Paris saw these conflicts as opportunities to push urban development in new directions.
The urban planning in Paris was going lo allow the design and the regularization of the uses of space that focused in the physical form, economic functions, and social impacts of the urban environment and the location of different activities. As Paris was expanding, the population was growing, and the urban planning was evolving, the city started changing, not only in the sense of infrastructure but also as society. As time passed, changes became visib...

For this book report, I was assigned to read the book titled “How Paris Became Paris, The Invention of the Modern City”. Published in 2014 by former professor and well-known writer Joan DeJean. DeJean has written eleven books in her life consisting of several different topics. She’s written about French literature, history, and culture from the eighteenth century. She is a dynamic writer and perhaps has written her most iconic and dynamic piece in her latest entry “How Paris Became Paris”. In her book, she goes in-depth and details regarding the rise of Paris’ built environment and its effect on the nation of France and the entire global community as a whole. In this book report, I will describe and highlight the tipping point on the evolution

The Classical Era lasted from approximately 1775-1825, which is when Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart became famous. The classical era was also known as the Age of Enlightenment. Rousseau, Voltaire, and Montesquieu wrote the value of the common person and the power of human reasoning in overcoming problems. The music of the Classical Era reflects the principles of clarity, proportion, and what critics of the day called “naturalness.” During the Classical Era, performing publically was the new view in the way music should be written for the common person. Church music tended to be more conservative than secular compositions. Three composers kind of dominated the Classical Era which are Franz Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Finally, this paper will explore the “end product” that exists today through the works of the various authors outlined in this course and explain how Los Angeles has survived many decades of evolution, breaking new grounds and serving as the catalyst for an urban metropolis.
A general situation of urbanization trend in developing countries and developed countries is increasing. In 18th Century only 3% of the world total population lived in urban areas but as projected in 2000 this number will increase at above 50% (UN as cited in Elliot, 1999, p. 144). According to UN (as cited in Elliot, 1999, p.144), it is figured that the total urban population in developing countries has increased from approximately 400 millions people in 1950 to approximately 2000 millions people in 2000. At the same time, total urban population in developed countries is double...

Urbanization in developed countries in the West differs between the periods of before and after the Industrial Revolution. Before the revolution, the pre-capitalism cities were the center for government power and commercial activities. They emphasized communal living. However, together with the appearance of the Industrial Revolution and capitalism, cities experienced sudden increase of population. And, that increase caused socioeconomic change that the importance of communal living diminished and relationships became capitalistic. The traditional relationship between people changed to impersonal and instrumental social relationship.
Of all the movements in European art, Romanticism has by far the most difficult origins to pinpoint due to the broadness of its beginnings, artistic expressions, and time frame. Inspired by “nature, an awareness of the past, a religious spirit, and an artistic ideal” (Barron’s 6), Romanticism is one of the most significant influences on European culture. By looking at modern paintings, we can see the influence Romanticism has had throughout the generations. With Romanticism, artists have been able to take painting to different levels. The paintings are so profound that they allow the viewer to learn, develop, and acknowledge new aspects of life. The beginning of the Romantic era marked the birth of creative activities and aesthetic behaviors. Romanticism allows an artist to be creative, original, and authentic. Romantics view the world as more prejudiced and less balanced than others, including Neo-Classicists. What sets Romanticism apart from Neo-Classicism is the standards for Romantic artists were based on their own responsiveness while Neo-Classical artists aimed on portraying the orthodox values.
Many Romantic poets, authors and artists are famous for their wondrous work about the world around us; focusing mainly on nature and the majestic aspects
Romanticism in the visual arts was first seen in landscape painting. British artists began to turn to turn to wilder landscapes and storms.
