Our city, Apolis, is located in Finland, a country in Europe. Apolis has an estimate of about 500,000 people and counting. In the year 2120, we had a civil war in our city amongst our people. It was a four-year war and it took us over ten years to rebuild and remodel. Apolis is looking better than it ever has in the past. The hottest month is July and it only gets in the low sixties and the coldest month is February and gets in the low twenties in Fahrenheit. August is the wettest season with 3.5 inches of rain.
Infrastructure in Apolis is very civilized and organized. The selection of apartments in our city can be 30 -50 stories high. Most of our apartments are located near schools and grocery stores for the convenience of travel. Our housing

Often times there is a lack of seating, so we brought outside sitting to our city. Careful not to overcrowd the area or have a poor amount of seating. Another problem we have dealt with in our city is the shortfallings of gathering areas. People would complain that there were not enough places that they wanted or needed. After taking these complaints into mind we have added playgrounds, vending carts, bus stops, outdoor seating, and eye pleasing shops that serve food. We took away features that served no real purpose other than to take up space, and not allowing vehicles to take over the public spaces by adding crosswalks, sidewalks, and reasonably sized roads. Our city took the blank or boring parts of public spaces and designed and managed our precious spaces. Transit, bus, or train spots have all been located in areas that are convenient and where people want to use them. These are all improvement that our city, Apolis, made to our local public spaces.
One thing we repaired in Apolis was the sidewalks. We improved the sidewalks so people can get places safer, faster and easier. Existing sidewalks were grounded up and then we recycled them and created better sidewalks. We turned an old abandoned theme park into a new theme park that people now enjoy visiting. We not only did we fix these problems, we also fixed multiple other problems to make our city a better place for tourist and our
We have solar panel shaded bike paths so pedestrians do not get hit by cars. Most of the roads will be underground aswell eliminating the factors of people getting hit. We will have places for people to hang out and watch sports at the sports bar, and shop at the open market. Parents can have a drink, while there kids play at the arcade. Or you can go from train car to refurbished train car were there will be little shops and restaurants. Our public spaces will improve the quality of living, because of the transformation of a run down gas station, and a rusty train yard into a clinic and market. The clinic will provide emergency healthcare, and vaccinations. One of the good effects our spaces will have on the environment is the clearing up of chemicals in the train yard. Still, we may remove animals from their homes, if anny have made homes in train cars. Many of our solutions are focused mainly on an older group of kids, or younger adults. But the clinic will help anyone from any
Welcome to Genezon, a city of 650-thousand people located in northwest Italy. We have created a city that not only maximizes safety and provides almost endless amounts of resources, but also a city that keeps in mind the happiness of the everyday citizen. Public space provides a plethora of benefits if used correctly, however, in the increasingly digital society, precise utilization will be key to success. Now in 2138, we have not only developed Genezon to be an independent, safe, and technologically advanced metropolis but also a culture-, society- and person-orientated public space experience.
Altering public space can be a negative or positive thing. It is something that changes or adjusts something or someone. You can alter space positively by planting a tree in an empty plot so it can grow big. It can be a friendly smile on someone’s face that joyfully spreads to everyone else. It can also be a beautiful building or a park that transformed something old, unused, or outdated. Any of these ways and more can alter public space positively, and we should always strive to do things that way. There will always be negative in life but it is up to you think positive, act positive, and do things in a positive way. Then without you even realizing it, you will alter public space in a positive way as

Public spaces are places which we have to share with others and where apply shared sets of values or expectations about how people should behave. Social order is very important in social life. Order is part of the way people practice their social existence. It is about how individuals fit together with others and with things around them. Ordering is all the time practised by people and is central to social life. Social order is not easy to make, it involves a lot of things like practices, making everything and everyone fit together and also having in mind ideas about the past and the future (Silva, 2009). Social order needs to
Inflammatory cause from immune response to infection by remove damage tissue to clear the area for repair. Uncontrolled inflammatory will give side effect to body. Greek physician and herbalist detect the anti-inflammatory properties in honey. During that time, the honey is use for sunburn and spots on the face and consume honey heal inflammation at the throat and tonsils (Gunther R.T, 1934). The mechanism of anti-inflammatory action recognized by a research revealed that bees add a protein called Apalbumin 1 to the nectar to make a honey by suppress the action of white blood cell engulfing bacteria that lead to inflammation process. The present of high level methylglyoxal in manuka honey react with Apalbumin 1 effective in suppressing white
Akasha is Sanskrit in origin and it is derived from the word 'kas' or 'kash' which means to 'shine or radiate'. This word has many different meanings between Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. For example in Hinduism, the word akasha is not just an element, but the basis for all other creations in the world. They do, however exclude the fifth element due to the fact that it cannot be perceived. It's direct translation is 'upper sky' or 'space'. In Jainism, akasha means 'space' and is divided into two parts inside the Ajiva category; the Loakasa which is occupied by the material world and the Aloakasa which is space beyond which is completely void and empty. Lastly, in Buddhism, they divide akasha between endless space, also known as ajatākasā,
Overall, The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces says that in order for an area to be successful it must be light enough, not too vast, have adequate seating, water that is accessible, food wither it be café’s or food carts, view of the street, not fenced off from the street, not too high above or too low below the street, ample amount of trees, and something to bring people together. Whyte shows how places that have all or most of these components are the most successful as being an urban space while areas that lack these components end up being unused and unsafe. Whyte also shows how a successful space works for not only one demographic but many. He shows children, business people, families, friends, lovers, and even homeless people using the area to prove how those areas
In a book ‘The Uses of Sidewalks: Safety’, by Jane Jacobs, she abstract that ‘her basic notions of what makes a neighbourhood a community and what makes a city livable’ . She stated that ‘Great Cities are not like towns, only larger. They are not like suburbs, only denser’ . In her perspective of view, the great cities are differ from towns and suburbs in basic ways, they are full of stranger. Strangers are not only common in a public assembly, it even more common
Throughout history, one of the major themes has been the migration of people from the country into the city. This is because many urban centers have greater amounts of opportunity and there are more services available. During this process, is when a number of regions started to experience increasing levels of population growth. To accommodate new residents different parcels of land surrounding the city are utilized. Over the short term, this addressed the immediate growth needs of the region. However, after longer periods of time, is when the lack of planning led to disorganized pockets of growth. This depleted natural resources and exposed many of these areas to potential natural disasters (such as: flooding, landslides or major storms).

Geographically 5th century BC Athens is located in the south eastern corner of Greece. The two main regions of Greece was Athens and Sparta. Today Sparta is a small city surrounded by mountains. In the 5th century there was a rivalry between Sparta and Athens and a war. Sparta did not at all contribute to culture, but was home to the most extraordinary arts and science. The river Cephisus flowed through the city of Athens. The city of Athens was surrounded by walls, although the city also has suburbs which extended well beyond these walls. Athens was like any other Greek city except that it was home to the Acropolis which was a major attraction. The acropolis is located South of the walled area and situated in the centre of ancient Athens.
Sadik Khan mentions, “For lunch we’d grab deli sandwiches and bring them back to the office. There was nowhere and no reason to sit outside” (17). The city would benefit from the seating outdoors to enjoy the views from the manicured lawns of Hartford’s Old State House, try foods from the different food truck vendors and marvel at the unique architecture of the “Boat Building” at Constitution Plaza. The population who be able to take advantage of the opportunities that Hartford has to offer, and would not be stuck behind closed doors. Rather, people in Hartford, would be able to use the welcoming outdoor lounging areas, as Sadik-Khan references, “a place where people wanted to be” in her words, “Workers in nearby buildings brought lunches to the tables sheltered beneath the plaza’s umbrellas with coffees and snacks purchased at local cafés and food trucks. The transformation was fast—a couple of weeks—and easily integrated into the neighborhood” (Sadik-Khan, 82). In other words, the outdoor space will be greatly utilized by both the working population and also the students at the nearby schools and universities. A transformation to the space will quickly encourage others to enjoy the new open-air additions and will accommodate the city community. The older facade of the unused, blank streets will not be missed.
Tomkins Park, my choice for a space which encapsulates both the ideas of diversity and how that urban form and constrains a certain group was challenging to decide upon, both on the side how that space affects a particular group such as women, and how such a space may change, becoming more accepting of that group. I chose a space, which was seemingly public and has a great level of diversity of who uses this public space. I decided to partake in an observational study of Tomkins Park, located in Calgary’s Beltline neighbourhood of 17th Avenue. A relatively small public space, which straddles several busy roads and businesses. My reasoning for choosing this space was the amenities Tomkins Park offers, a public restroom, free to make use of
