From 1870 to 1910 was Pittsburgh's Golden Age. Steel was a main factor in making Pittsburgh what it is today. But steel was not the only industry in Pittsburgh. Wood, coal, limestone, sand, and flax were also some of the resources they had. It was the steel capital of the world due to the abundance of resources. With all of the big promising jobs many people did not want to have the small jobs that were needed (Dietrich).

With the technology advancing, the production of material moved from small shops and homes into large factories for mass-production. This included steel industries that allowed the transfer of “…manufacturing plants away from naturally flowing waters (outside the city) to areas inside and around the cities where more abundant labor was available”.

The Docklands is a site of urban renewal, which is to redevelop a runout city area. In 1991, Docklands Authorities established to oversee regeneration of Docklands and in 1995, Victoria Government released a plan for Docklands and committed to developing the area which means that urban renewal work began. Prior to that, Docklands gradually had fallen into disrepair and disuse. As a result, the population in Docklands gradually decreased. It is also difficult for people who live in Docklands to find a job because the port activity continues to move to west and less people wanted to live in Docklands. That caused Docklands developed slowly at that time and Docklands became a site of urban decay.

Shortly after the revolutionary war, the small town of Pittsborough, then renamed Pittsburgh began to develop into a very important center, specializing in trading and industry. The convenience of natural resources and technological advancement has ranked Pittsburgh as one of the leading industrial cities in the United States in the past. Historically, the city of Pittsburgh has created numerous manufacturing plants responsible for producing steel, iron, and other products for the U.S. economy that still exist today. The Encyclopedia Britannica explains Pittsburgh's economic might during this period:

The Pyrmont-Ultimo peninsula was once occupied primarily of 'blue-collar' workers, surrounded by derelict industrial waterfronts and working-class terraces that dominated the industrialised

Kangaroo Point Cliffs are one of the most iconic places that highlight Brisbane city’s history along with the Brisbane City Hall and Story Bridge. These cliffs were known by Aborigines even before European settlers arrived in Brisbane. The development around the Kangaroo Point Cliff was started in the 1900s when roads were developed around the cliff. Today, the Kangaroo Point Cliff offers many adventurous activities such as rock climbing, kayaking on the Brisbane River, Segway tours, bike riding around the garden etc. The rocks found on these steep cliffs are known as the ‘Brisbane Tuff’. These unique pink and green stones were also used in building public buildings during the 1820s and 1830s. The very steep feature and gas holes on the cliff plays a significant role in identifying these cliffs a result of a volcanic eruption (Visit Brisbane, 2018). This essay analyses geological formation of Kangaroo Point cliff and the Brisbane tuff which the

In 1900, Pyrmont was an important port and industrial area, with a population of almost 30 000 people. There was a wide range of industries and services present including wharves, dockyards, warehouses, abattoirs, wool stores, railway yards and even an incinerator for the disposal of Sydney’s waste. It was deemed a working-class suburb with a predominantly Irish/Catholic population. As the income for Pyrmont was only modest, semi-detached cottages were the most common type of housing present.

Boston had changed majorly from being the merchant city to the industrial metropolis. The population of people went up about ¾ in 50 years of its physical change. When Boston was a merchant city in 1850, it was tightly packed and crowded, then once it because an industrial metropolis in 1900, it was a spread out to a 10-mile radius, containing 31 cities and towns.

2. The city's founding, during a gold rush that attracted a quarter of a million miners to the area, was in 1876.

The proximity to the CBD meant they could easily travel to and from their work in the CBD to home and the second reason was that the type of work that attracted them was now in the Pyrmont area. Crown Casino, Channel 7 and Google are a few companies that chose to relocate to the Pyrmont area. The impacts of this renewal is it has lead to the area becoming a lot mote productive which was done by the population growth and growth in jobs.

Melbourne and Sydney embraced the fact that the world was getting more technologically advanced, that new styles and movements were emerging and that experimentation was everywhere. Australia was not in a time lapse during this movement and followed closely behind American and Europe with use of technologies and trends.

Prior to the initiative of the CLR programme the Tyne and Wear to be precise Newcastle Upon Tyne was recovering from deindustrialization, as it was a very prominent site for more primary sector activities such as coal mining and iron ship building and an expanding courtyard due to the ships production in the 19th century this has made it a prosperous city (Hudson,1989). However, an aftermath of the Two world wars led to decrease in the primary sector, with the inventions such as the internet and more sophisticated technology, the world is gradually moving closer to becoming a service or tertiary industry. This resulted in the region becoming economically depressed leading to high unemployment rates, poorer quality of life and making the region one of the poorest in Britain (Middleton and Freestone,2008). According to Pettingher (2012) there has been a decrase in employment in the coal sector from 1923- 1945 there was a 1.2 million drop to 0.8 million till 2010 wherby the employment in the industry fell to 6,000. This led to an increase in Unemplyment.Nonetheless, with the introduction of the CLR iniciative and the NewcastleGateshead Iniviatove in 2000 there have changes in the employment rates. With innovative art and cultural projects promoting the region as a suitable site for Mass tourism, it has created jobs within the society to help improve their standard of living and combat unemployment. With CLR projects in the tyne and wear region, Sunderland . whereby there were structural changes with places used as ships courtyards in the 1800s transformed to areas recognized as a combination of commercial and residential facilities. With the sole purpose of generating income for the city and improving the local economy of the tyne and wear region. Examples of such developmenrs are as follow, a university accomamodation, luxury apartments built in
