    Land preparation for farming and animal rearing was done using a method called girdling – tree killing. They will cut around each tree to stop nutrient from getting to the tree and the leaves will later felled down. They will now come back and cut the branches of the trees and burn the underbrush. Farmer starts plowing as the trees stumps decays and stones will be removed from the fields. Fields for farming are always small because of labor and there are boundaries between fields and the neighbors. The house or the farm was viewed as the workplace.

The towns developed individually and community involvement was given a great significant although the community was close knit.…

    Progression is a necessary constant throughout all of human history. As we look back we can see the leaps and bounds we have made in technology, industry, and government; but while development is necessary it isn’t always the best route. Gentrification has been seen as one of those forms of necessary advancement, but when looking at it under a microscope you begin to see the truth behind the “progress”. Gentrification causes the rapid increase in property value, as well as the eviction of life long tenants, and the alterations of whole neighborhoods. On paper, it seems like it’s a great idea to take a neighborhood and give it a face lift, but there is a human element to the equation we are leaving out. Sternbergh (2009) notes that “Displacement…

    A new revolution of thought has wage a war against low-density suburban growth or sprawl. But is sprawl really a problem? And could the proposed solutions do more harm than good? Sprawl typically conjures up images of strip malls and mega stores, traffic congestion, long commutes, lost open space, pollution, crowded schools, higher taxes, and the demise of downtown shopping areas. Activists throughout the country are fighting proposals to build new retail stores proposed by large chains like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and McDonald's. Control of suburban growth has emerged as a major issue in state and local governments. The war on sprawl is inspired by the New Urbanism or Smart Growth movement: the demand for better planning to achieve a vision of livable or sustainable communities.…

    Gentrification

    • 618 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Gentrification is the rehabilitation/renewal of a deteriorated neighbourhood by new residents who are wealthier than the long-time residents. This can cause an increase in house prices and lead to the displacement of the long-time residents. It is often small scale and incremental, usually instigated by individual people and is often accompanied by landscape and street furniture improvements. An example of Gentrification is that of Notting Hill. Although the place is now a bustling urban area, in the mid-eighteenth century a country hamlet that was known for it's gravel pits and roadside inns had proved to be a magnet in attracting highwaymen. The unpopular tollgate, which gave the main road it's name appeared during this time. The Industrialisation brought many workers in from the countryside (urbanisation), with the landlords building tiny terreced houses to rent to the poor. During the Victorian Times Notting Hill was a rough, working class area and by the 1950's the area had become synonymous with slum landlords and inner-city deprivation. In 1958, it was the scene of many race riots after the tensions arose between the newly arrived afro-caribbean community and the teddy boys of the facist British Unioon, a secound riot then took place during the infamous Notting Hill Carnival in 1976.…

    During the second half of the nineteenth century the United States went through an urban revolution. This urban revolution and the things that were happening were unseen by the world until this point. Factories, mines, and mills sprouted all across the country, and thus cities began to grow up around them. In 1889 the nineteenth century was declared "not just the age of cities, but the age of great cities." The economy was booming and there were plenty of jobs for people, which sometimes proved to be unfair but they were still jobs. At the point when the nineteenth century initially began, organizations were practically nonexistent and the ones that were there were little, yet before the century's over…

    There are many important things that occurred during the Industrial Revolution but urbanization might be one of the most important, since it helped lead to the growth of industrial capitalism. At this time, machines, such as the spinning jenny and the steam engine, were making more and more jobs for people. People were moving to those higher tech places that had jobs, not only because the Enclosure movement was making it hard for people to keep their land, but people, especially people who had lived in a place of poverty or war wanted to start anew and survive. Not only was that the cause of urbanization but due to famine and disease being at an all time low more people were living. They have proven that in 1750 there was roughly 140 million…

    The project was fueled by the requests of the Engineering Distance Education program and all decisions made were an attempt to meet those requests. Based on planning and designing throughout the first semester, the design team began working on the solution in January 2001. Although some ideas from the original design did not make the final design, many of them were kept in the design and are reflected in the final work. The overall idea of the solution was retained, but some of the details were changed when differences in theoretical design and actual design occurred during development.…
