Countless throughout the streets of Jackson, MS there are homeless people asking for food, money, etc. and some people aid them and others walk away. However, does anyone ever see the other side of the equation? Driving down Gallatin St. one night I saw firsthand the “other side”.

years, and there are further indications that by 2030, about 60% of the world’s population will be urban dwellers (FIG Commission, 2010). Wealth generation and economic development have birthed a new phenomenon known as megacities, which are urban areas with an average population of 10 million or more persons, and 19 of such cities exist around the world at the moment (FIG Commission, 2010). Postulations have it that by 2020, the number of such mega cities would be about 27. This
landscapes. An area on the south coast of New South, Wales was studied with 81.4% area being covered by landscape, 13.4% was an urban area and 5% was used for industrial buildings. After studying how mammals who live in an area close to populated city and comparing to those that lived further away it was concluded that the abundance of mammals decreased with the distance to urban boundaries, the denser the area is with housing development the lower the biodiversity is in the area, and finally that
of that directive. For too many years now we have sent thousands of missionaries abroad while ignoring the mission field next door. While many may witness in our homes few move out into the community, especially when that community is in an urban area. Joshua 8:7 says "…take the city. The LORD your God will give it into your hand." Now more than ever this call to "take the city" must followed by believers.

In this universe, time is the monster machine because it has a very strong power, “time will change will everything”, and it will not stop by anything or anyone. You will see this principle applies for the worlds I try to bring up to you today, Megalopolis and Megacity. What are Megalopolis and Megacity mean? Are these words the same? Where do they come from and how their definition is changing over time? You will find the answer as you going through the essay. According to Greece, in the ancient

Surely there might be more income, but the crime rate will also increase as well as the city expenses. Wichita has been known as the air capital of the world, and the neon capital of the world too

Relate in the New York Metropolitan Area? It is common knowledge that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States of America.

In a demographic sense, this theory focuses on rural urban population shift as the foundation of urbanisation but it identifies the movement of rural population to urban areas for factory jobs.

Earth’s population is increasing, and areas which are already home to millions are continuing to expand. As these cities continue to grow, when the population reaches a certain point it is referred to as a megacity, a megacity is a metropolitan area with a total population of 10 million plus. These megacities are so large that they are becoming out of control settlements, cities like Los Angeles and Tokyo are being forced to expand upwards due to having to accommodate for the thriving population
