Introduction Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand. It has the most population. The population in Auckland city is over 1.5 million. As we know, cities with large population mean high traffic congestion. Traffic congestion, is one of the major problems faced in the capitals and major cities in most countries. As with the increase in the growth rate, comes the growing demand for the use of transportation. This works with the response to the needs of the community. Auckland Council established
Water quality is an issue the public of Auckland city reflect on during the summer time. Human and natural factors can contribute to creating a potential health risk for people who are considered to be in primary contact with the water.

Introduction In Auckland, private cars are hugely important to individuals as a means of transport around the city. However the use of personal vehicles has a negative impact on the environment in the form of air pollution (Auckland Regional Council, 2014). Air pollution can be measured by the level of particulate matter found in the air. Particulate matter is made up of very fine particles in the air which may be visible but are not always seen (Ministry of Transport, 2002). Air pollution due to
have been due to unavoidable influences on the experiment posed by the flora of Motutapu. The results do give a clear enough picture for some recommendations on further study on Motutapu. Introduction Motutapu is an island in the Hauraki Gulf, Auckland region, and is half of the Rangitoto-Motutapu complex of ecosystems. It is the site of an ongoing restoration effort, the largest in New Zealand, which aims to reforest a large portion of the island by 2050. The main method employed thus far is planting

INTRODUCTION The introduction of steadily developing transport has created an expanding city with economic growth while creating a personal reliance on new technologies and the state. As transport options have been improving for individuals as well as the distributer, cities have adapted and grow side by side. Comparable to the growth of a city’s economy is the evolution of how a civilisation distributes itself with the convenience of increased transportation options. This essay will talk about
for developed cities. Without it, everyone would either need to locate themselves close to place of work, or everyone has to use some alternative means of private transport. For large cities, where there are millions of people that need to travel on daily basis, it is simply not possible for all of this movement to function well without public transportation (Johnson 2004, p. 4). For a developed city to have good public transportation services, this does not happen by accident. City and town planners
area where rapid urbanisation has taken place. Sao Paulo is the third largest city in the world, with a population of 24 million, and is forever growing (sprawl). Urbanisation has affected this city dramatically, causing various problems to the standard of living and housing, transport, and is causing more and more un-employment. Due to the extreme rate of natural growth, and migration to Sao Paulo, the city cannot develop at a fast enough rate, resulting in a lack of housing. Due to a high

Ancient Greece: A Time Of Great Cities And Lives Ancient Greece was an interesting time and place with huge markets in which people could sell items of every kind. Strict laws with even stricter penalties if broken, a place where women were did not have as many rights as they do today, and along with the most outstanding army in their time. A quote that goes along with this time is; "I have killed one I have killed two -- the vampire who said he was youo." - Sylvia Platts. Likewise in the Ancient
Capitol Punishment: Toy of Evil Men One might believe that because capital punishment plays such a large role in Charles Dickens’ A Tale Of Two Cities, that Dickens himself is a supporter of it. This just simply is not true. Dickens uses capitol punishment as a tool to define the evil embodied in both the French ruling class, and the opposing lower class during the French Revolution; as well as comment on the sheep-like nature of humankind. In the beginning of the novel, capital punishment serves
if a society was labeled a civilization, then you could say the Inca of South America, who constructed cities on top of mountains and had a complex system of irrigation canals, were not one because they did not have a system for reading or writing. Modern archaeologists now think of civilization as not better but different. The modern definition of civilization consists of the development of cities, or urbanization, the existence of a centralized political unit, a dense population in the thousands
from the residences of its members.@ That is a quote from the suburban historian Kenneth T. Jackson, from his magnificent piece on suburbanization Crabgrass Frontier. Suburbanization has been probably the most significant factor of change in U.S. cities over the last 50 years, and began 150 years ago. It represents Aa reliance upon the private automobile, upward mobility, the separation of the family into nuclear units, the widening division between work and leisure, and a tendency toward racial
The City of Karachi in Pakistan The biggest city of Pakistan, Karachi is the center of education and visual scencnary of different land marks. It’s located in the most southern tip of the country.

or city are related (The City Reader, 2009). The perspective that guides the ecological and the social spatial-dialect schools of thought asks the “urban question” in separate distinct terminology. Respected scholars from the ecological mode of thinking, like Burgess, Wirth and others view society and space from the rationale that geographical scope determines society (The City Reader, 2009). The “urban question” that results from the ecological paradigm sees the relationship between the city (space)
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
seem as a consequence due to the negative exposure to urban environments. Wirth's essay “Urbanism as a Way of Life” studied the social disorganization of the urban life also known as “community lost perspective.”Although Wirth argues that life in the city is goal oriented, anomic and segmented, other theories argue that “urbanism” does affects social behavior but there is not proof that “urbanism” causes mental health, and isolation (152-153). Compositional Theory: this theory examines multiple ways
enough discussion of anything comes the inevitable unearthing of its strengths and weaknesses. The Portland Plan has a number of strengths: it is comprehensive, well thought out, inclusive, and should ultimately lead to a well-planned and sustainable city. How in-depth the Portland Plan is, is a testament to its preparedness to face any challenges to lead the Portland of today into becoming the Portland of tomorrow, as any potential question that may arise is likely addressed within the text of the
