Samford has many way to get around using public transport for example Brisbane bus lines has many buses that travel out there morning and afternoon. Samford has parkland and green spaces for young children to play sport or do leisure activities. Samford skies has also opened up and is ready for housing development. How can the community plan for a livable future in my suburb? The people that could help on planning a sustainable future for the city of Samford is The Australian government, the Samford community and individuals should be getting involved in making Samford more sustainable and more environmentally for the whole community. Making changes to my city? The first change I would make would be to have more public transport options available for people who work in the Brisbane city and live out at in Samford. By car it is 23.5 kilometers and takes approximately 31 minutes to get to the Brisbane CBD. Samford should have a train line that’s runs our past ferny grove train station and continues its way out to Samford and back to the Brisbane CBD stopping at all of the regular stations which include Kepperra station, Groverly station, Oxford Park station and Mitchelton station. The second change I would make to the Samford community is to have a clean-up day every month for Samford and the community to participate in cleaning up the city.

The following case study critiques Upton’s vision to establish a sustainable community through implementing comprehensive sustainable strategy. The urban periphery development is thought to demonstrate superior execution of sustainable principles in development (Jackson 2007). As a parallel, the report focuses on the development of Upton’s design code and demonstrates how large -scale mix-use developments can incorporate sustainable practice and principles of urban growth.
Finally in 1991, the federal government initiated a ‘Better Cities Program’ which aimed to make Australian cities sustainable and more liveable. It encoura...

Ever since the fall, mankind has had a voracious desire for power and influence. People witness this desire within the walls of the Capitol Building when the media exposes backroom deals. It also springs up whenever a politician uses a podium to persuade people that he makes the world work. Politicians possibly rely on persuasion because they crave the power. However, persuasion is a manipulative, unBiblical tactic of forcing others to accept a point of view by all means necessary.

Sydney's population is growing rapidly. Currently, the future for the generations to come is looking bleak as pollution and sustainability are not up to speed with the increasing population.
These additions will increase travel options & aid in servicing a more compact Adelaide. The distribution of activities within metropolitan Adelaide has also changed, from mainly economic activities to more personal services and knowledge based industries such as schools and universities. As these changes in activities take place the structure of the city and the transport system will also need to change and adapt to better fit the new system. ‘Knowledge intensive’ activities predominantly take place in the city and also in employment centres but to a lesser extent. This means that employment areas will need to become more flexible and this can be done by locating
Lismore and towns nearby were once a part of a rainforest called ‘The Big Scrub’. Now less than 1% of it remains due to urbanization. The social struggles urbanization creates have to be considered. They affect all Australians and if they are not considered the lives of the locals could get more difficult.
Having regard to the implementation of New Urbanism principles in three different scales, it can be derived some discussions of New Urbanism theory and practice. In the region scale, New Urbanism advocates Sydney Metro strategy in providing additional housing choices to meet people needs and lifestyles. New Urbanism also supports a vibrant place to live and well-connected neighbourhood. New Urbanism seems to be the way to achieve higher density developments by utilizing potential farmland areas in city fringe and regenerating undeveloped industrial lands in inner city.

As previously implied, cities are currently the antithesis of even the barest sense of sustainability. To succinctly define the term “sustainability” would be to say that it represents living within one’s needs. When it comes to the city, with almost zero local sources of food or goods, one’s means is pushed and twisted to include resources originating far beyond the boundaries of the urban landscape. Those within cities paradoxically have both minimal and vast options when it comes to continuing their existence, yet this blurred reality is entirely reliant on the resources that a city can pull in with its constantly active economy.
We all know the urbanization rate is an index to value the development of a country. However, though urbanization provides great convenience to some individuals, it also brings about negative effects. Problems such as pollution, overcrowded and the high unemployment appear during the process of urbanization and they are hard to cope with. In face of the sequence of problems, a new way of development ----sustainable development was put forward. Just like its literal meaning, the word sustainability has something to do with continuity. It was used since 1980s and first appeared in Britain law in 1993. Sustainable development can help solve parts of the problem caused by urbanization, including environmental damage, overuse of resources, and natural disasters.
