Compared with conventional sprawl community, traditional community has great advantages on these issues. Traditional community’s land is mostly mixed-use. The diversity of land use within a walkable area provide residents more opportunity to contact with one another, compared with the sprawl where people live in single family house and would not walk on the street except do exercise. For lower income family, traditional community can help poor family save money. There are two typical mixed use land house in traditional community but are banned because current planning policy is favor of sprawl. The first kind is a two-floor house where shop is on the first floor and apartment on the second floor. This type of building allows homeowner to have
The zoning by-law has been changed based on the city requirements and feeling necessity on living space improvement. For example, fifty years ago, the most single family dwelling was constructed as bungalow with one bath, no garage and living area about 1000 SqFt, but the transition shows two storey dwelling with garage, more bathrooms and living area more than 3000 SqFt in the subject property area.
A community is a place where people around supposed to be able to live and thrive together. When one thinks of a community, the image that most likely is visualized is one of a place where each person lives harmoniously with all the other members of that community. While this may be the typical image of a community, it is not the realistic view. In reality communities can share both good and bad aspects. In Place Matters: Metropolitics for the Twenty-First Century Peter Dreier, John Mollenkopf, and Todd Swanstrom make the argument that the place a person lives ultimately matters over all else; the place which a person lives effects the choices that that he/she makes and determines his/her ability to obtain a
Social cohesion- there can be social interaction between different cultures in the community. Also you can get to know people in your neighbourhood and it allows people from different generations to mix and understand the other generations and how they live/lived.

It was not until the second time of watching this film that I came to the realization that this film was a parody of documentaries, or in other words a "mockumentary". This film discusses the suburban sprawl that has been happening in many towns around North America. It depicts the neighborhoods with large identical two story houses on every street, the playgrounds, malls, stores, and restaurants that surround them along with the effect they have on the family. The family talks about the disadvantages they face such as the father's long two hour commute to work every day. As well as the isolation that the son feels in the movie. In the beginning he loved the idea of moving to a new house in a new place, but soon felt like an outcast by the
The town was a fort, it could hold against a battalion. From air raids, to shelling of artillery guns and overwhelming numbers of tanks combined with soldiers. It is not just an ordinary town, it was a town that was important to be taken by the enemy to show their might. The defenders know that if the enemy conquers the town, then the whole country will lose hope as it is their last standing town before the enemy gets close to their capital.

If I were to open a theatre I would specifically make it a children’s theatre called “Imagination Land”. I would choose to open a children’s theatre because enough children aren’t exposed to it. The mission statement would be “Imagination Land strives to be an affordable venue where children can grow creatively through the viewing of theatrical productions and learn something along the way. Our productions will come from books, movies and plays written by a large variety of people and feature all different types of genres”. Because, I want my theater to be a place where kids can imagine new and exciting things and have fun. But I do also want my theatre to teach children something I just don’t want it to be the main thing children take away
In order to maintain and protect agriculture land we must enforce strict regulations from land being taken for urban sprawl. Government need to enforce laws setting aside certain areas that are designated for agricultural land. For example, Smart growth provides communities with public transit, but also it is surrounded by green space for growing food. This will help benefit the environment if people use public transit, biking or walking trails reducing air pollution. This is important in order to conserve natural areas such as farmland for growing crops, vegetables, fruit etc. We need this valuable farmland to grow food in order to live; if we keep taking land for urban sprawl our future for food security will be scarce. Another program is
First, community is our “home.” We have been living in a community ever since we were just little babies and it has always influenced us. Communities have played a big part in who we are today. We start off in school not knowing anyone or anything and as you get older you begin to think about the
The third one is climate. If area rich in precipitation, most of the roof are inclined. This is in favour for the rain come down. And most of the plants are very good live in the more water areas. So people usually use bamboo to build their house. Because of the rain is very often, the ground and the air are very damply. So people’s houses usually impending. The less rainfall area home usually use flat roof. So people usually use earth and rocks to build their house.
The conquering and development of natural land has in the past, been seen as a mark of human civilization. In the United States, our progress is often measured by growth and development, but should this be re-examined? There are many opinions on the subject of urban sprawl and its effects on wildlife, but one thing is for certain, we are expanding. From 1955 to 2005, urban and suburban areas grew by 300%, however, the population only increased by 75% over the same period (Ewing, Kostyack and Chen). According to NatureServe, a non-profit conservation organization, urban sprawl threatens one of every three endangered species in the United States. NatureServe’s analysis states, “rare and endangered species data shows that three-fifths (60
An emerging issue is that of urban sprawl. While some aspects of urban sprawl has been seen since ancient times, this phenomenon has started gaining the most momentum in the past century, aided by the advancement of technology, especially with the rise of mass produced automobiles, houses and highway systems. Many people unknowingly contribute to this environmental problem, as is the nature of it. Urban sprawl deals with the growth of the suburbs, the area between the urban and rural areas of a city. Most of America’s largest cities and states, in terms of population, are prime examples of urban sprawl. Opponents of urban sprawl usually cite the government as a major cause of sprawl. The government may be a major catalyst of
The concept of dual occupancy designs is gaining more recognition. After all, these designs offer you the ability to maximize the value of your land.
In the world of real estate and development, exactly what is dual occupancy? As the name suggests, dual occupancy homes are two houses built on the same piece of land that can be subdivided into two plots of land. It refers to constructing a second building or house on the same plot of land as a previously existing one, or knocking down the building and constructing two structures where the first one used to be. These structures can be freestanding or joined to each other. This method of construction is a common way to make a profit while investing in and constructing a new house at the same time.
