I knew Arjun since the winter of 2010, when he wrote me an email requesting me to take a guest lecture at PDPU. It was then when I joined PDPU as Head of Department for civil engineering, I came to know that it was a class decision to invite me and Arjun took up the responsibility. This made me clear about his leadership potential. After joining PDPU in winter of 2011, I held the position of head of the department in civil engineering. I have been in close association with Arjun for 2 years. During this time, Arjun has proved to be a hard working individual. Academically, I taught him ‘Water Resource Engineering’. While in the class, Arjun was a regular student but he always had a keen for various topics which he studied out of the syllabus. I believe he was satisfied with knowledge gain rather than the syllabus or curriculum. I also served as a guide to his minor project of ‘Creative Urbanism in Economic strain’. Arjun showed his creativity in this project. He collected data from a particular locality and studied the social behavior of the people there. He also proposed a plan of co...

The problems caused by the urbanization phenomenon also deal with the decreased quality of health care and medicine provision for the mass people in the cities. The negative effects of urbanization are scaring the people, and many of them choose to turn back from the urban places to previous places where they lived. Nevertheless, not everything about urbanization tends to be perceived in the dark light. For example, urbanization brings the growth and development of commercial activities and contributes to the social and cultural integration. Respectively, this phenomenon cannot only be viewed as the negative one but should also be regarded for its positive impacts. To achieve this, the people need to find out the ways of bringing forward the benefits of urbanization and reducing its negative impacts on the lives of

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.
Quickened procedures of urbanization in the twenty-first century, as we have seen, are to a great extent moved in urban areas in creating nations, and the greater part of these new urban natives are living in informal or illicit advancements. Urban design, then again, moves past the investigation of space; it is the act of effectively forming the city in a wanted manner (Németh, 2010). It is evident that urban communities can frequently be overpowering places, and that we require a decided state of mind and clear center so as to explore their complexities. Urban originators enhance the livability of urban communities by making an interpretation of arrangements into physical systems, setting up configuration criteria for advancement ventures,
It is with great pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for Flor Navarro, a bright and skillful student who has worked at my private practice since November 2015. I have been a practicing dentist for over 40 years, and I can still remember Flor’s enthusiasm for dentistry when she was my patient two years ago. During the time she has been employed, Flor has worked directly under my supervision and has become a highly valuable member of my team. I have observed that she is a hardworking and conscientious employee, and I am honored to support her as a future dental student.
My name is Jeffrey Magloire and I am a current matriculating student at Sullivan County Community College I have a couple of issues that I wanted to bring forward to your attention. As you may or may not know Sullivan County Community College has just constructed a new dormitory for incoming students. This Dormitory has opened up doors to many students that could not handle the commute to and from school. Although the dormitory has been an advantage to students traveling; the students have been living in poor condition for the last five weeks. The first problem occurred the day we walked in. The students were put into rooms where the paint smell was still resident and was the cause of two asthma attacks. We still have not received camera’s which would have been no problem if they had more than two security guards for each shift in our 350 capacity student dorm. I have read the contract that was handed to me and the dormitory has violated many promises made on that contract. The first violation has made many students drop out of school and go home and miss one semester of school. The Dormitory Corporation promised us daily maintenance on all of our bathrooms but the maintenance workers come only three times a week which has raised hazardous fumes coming from the bathroom and also the bathroom utensils are not available to students frequently which has deferred the students from having proper hygiene. The roof fire alarm has not been turned off due to the shortness of security officers and the alarm goes off every night due to loitering. They also promised that we will have telephone service which has not been honored and most of students have no way of contacting their friends and family. The School has one phone line and that one phone line is occupied by resident assistant, resident managers, security and is also the phone that security uses to contact the fire department in case of emergency.
To whom it may concern, it’s my absolute pleasure to recommend Truong Phan for a being a future student at Umass Boston . Truong and I had a relationship at Stoughton Hithe for close to a year now, I thoroughly enjoy the time working with truong and came to know him as a truly valuable asset to the American History course. He is very conscientious, assertive and devoted. Truong been in the American Study Course for at least 10 months now and he had not disappointed me as a English teacher he show up to class and alway ready to learn something new and when I introduce a new topic he would be all over it and won't stop until he had perfected it, in addition he is confident in his work but not too confident where he won't change an error in an essay or a speech.
The second article From Product to Process: Building on Urban Think Tank’s Approach to the Informal City introduce a firm named Urban- think tank (U-TT) that focuses on the city problem and tries to start proposal for the city in building projects in conflict zones. They have designed many projects in different parts of the world. Similar to this urban acupuncture is the way that “cures” the city and social problems by making changes of certain part in the city. Although there are cultural and social specificities, cities are facing problems in common. Connecting the formal and informal city is their main aim of activities. They attempt to put together communities, design ideas and urban actors on the ground that are the stakeholders in order to produce high-quality architecture.
...genious, but the existing context of the local environment cannot be ignored. The idea if creating walk-able towns is optimistic and innovative by they need to be placed closer to pre-existing city centers, so as not to promote isolated environments but create an extension of the existing environment. The architecture of these developments needs to evolve and further develop, so as to create a new form of architectural style unique to the local context. Consequently, refining the local vernacular into a style which inhabitants form a new deeper connection with as an alternative to mimicking a connection they may have with a preexisting architectural style. The idealistic signs promoted by the new urbanism development can be used to attract more followers to this movement, once they become evolved and can be deemed as avant-garde and revolutionary formal expression.
The article proposes three approaches for the development of the creative city model in Forte Marghera that could be found elsewhere in Italy and beyond Italy. First of all, from a general overview of the situation, Forte Marghera emerges as a self-organizing system where cause and effects cannot be mapped linearly. In the theory of social self-organization a key role is played by humans as creative beings (Fuchs, 2003). In fact, structures do not act, they only exist within and through social actions, and the term social-self-organization refers to the dialectical relationship of structures and actions, which result in the overall reproduction of the system (Fuchs, 2003: 147). This approach is critical to governance intended as collective action by private, public and corporate agents reg...
Hello, Mrs. Evans. I hope all is well. Though you probably remember me asking you this favor, I was considering you write me a college letter of recommendation. I acknowledge you do not know much about me besides my academic background, thus making it hard to write a recommendation letter. I remember you asking me a list of interest to help in writing the letter, but I realize that might not make a convincing letter. So I decide to summarize a little about myself.
Cities in different areas are often renowned for the wealth of culture and the chances they provide. The increase in technological ingenuity has led to the growth and expansion of downtown areas in the city. Cities have grown over the past decade hence increasing the number of individuals living in these areas. The rise in population density in these regions has led to the development of dangerous and run-down regions in different cities. Downtown areas play a fundamental role in the well being and interactions of the society. Increase in population in urban centers has led to the development of downtown areas which are withered, run down and violent.
