Words To Describe Chicago

Above is my timeline that I was a part of with Ashley Bowden and we decided to do the Chicago area. I was able to talk her into doing Chicago for my love of big cities and architecture. Even as a little kid, I had a love of riding and now driving through the city looking at the massive skyscrapers and the beautiful skyline that Chicago has to offer. Chicago has an interesting story to tell and a big part of that story takes place with the Chicago Fire of 1871. After the Chicago Fire the city needed to rebuild. The land was transformed from early times of farming land to what is now the third biggest city in the United States.

Climate isn’t the only thing changing, our environments are changing too. Our lakes are becoming polluted and eutrophic (Scavia et al.), which causes the overgrowth of algae and death of many of the species found within the lakes. Here in Miami, water has an important role in the value of housing by real estate buyers. (McCormick et al.) Imagine building two houses of identical shape and size. One house is built around a neighborhood devoid of water sources and the

Cities in the Midwest grew as they attracted huge numbers of immigrants. In 1860, the city's population was around 110,000. In 1890, more than a million people lived in Chicago. Chicago became one of the largest city in this period.

In the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century, America was dominated by change. Expansion, urbanization, immigration, and capitalism swept the nation from coast to coast affecting every class, race and religion. The United States economy changed dramatically, as the country transformed from a rural agricultural nation to an urban industrial giant, the leading manufacturing country in the world. As this economic growth proliferated, Chicago was the epicenter in America. Travelers from Europe flocked to Chicago in search of opportunity. Meatpacking and steel were especially attractive for unskilled laborers from Europe.

2. The community of Chicago was very close, and very outgoing in itself. “The wait was electric, for Chicago was a prideful place… So far the year had been a fine one. Chicago’s population had topped one million for the first time, making the city the second most populous nation after New York.” (pg 13) Chicago takes pride in everything about the city. From its population to its world famous fair, the city beams in the light of its pride, and failure is seen as a humiliating disgrace.

Chicago just recently celebrated its 178th birthday and a lot has changed over the past 178 years. Chicago is known as the 3rd largest city in the United States, but it hasn’t always been that way. Currently an estimated 2.7 million people live in the Chicagoland area. Back in 1837 when Chicago was established, the number of people who lived in Chicago was estimated to be around 4,170 people.

In 1877 life in the cities of Cheyenne and Chicago were very different. Although they differed they had few things in common such as the use of newspapers for information. Another thing that both of the cities had in common was neither city had used electric lights yet. Also,both cities used trains as a mode of transportation.

Climate change includes changes in the average climate, such as a general warming in mean annual air temperature, and changes in the frequency of extreme temperature and precipitation events. Some world’s largest cities are located in coastal areas. This increases their vulnerability to rising sea levels and storm surges, risking livelihoods, property, and urban infrastructure.

Chicago, also known as the “Windy City,” is the most populous city within the state of Illinois. Many assume this nickname was given because of the wind gusts the city experiences regularly off of Lake Michigan. In actuality, it was named the “Windy City,” because the city was full of hot-winded politicians. Chicago also happens to be one of the largest cities within the United States. Illinois itself is nicknamed the “Prairie State,” because the state is full of wetlands, rolling hills, forests and farmland, other than the main cities like Chicago.

Any American citizen could do much worse than looking to the West Coast, and to Central California in particular. Both in terms of the scale of the impact of climate change there and the implications for Californians. Americans, and even the rest of the world, Central California stands out. The main reasons for this are water and agriculture. The most obvious impact of climate change on California has been drought, as dramatically evidenced by the wildfires that now

Since Chicago is one of the largest segregated cities in the country, why don't people move to make it more diverse? A national survey that was taken said that blacks agreed that “black people have a right to live wherever they can afford to”. Over 70 percent of blacks support laws that enforce that right, but only 40 percent of whites said that they would support those laws. Blacks support integration, but because the two races disagree on whether or not blacks should be able to live where they want to, the city will stay segregated instead of solving the problem of making the city more diverse.Over 87 percent of blacks are fine with living in a neighborhood that was only 20 percent black. This proves that blacks are more open to making Chicago an area that is not segregated. If where you live also affects your education and limits your job opportunities, then it's understandable why blacks are ready to move. Blacks typically live in more run down areas that usually provides a bad school system and because they don't have a good education, they don't have access to good jobs. Access to housing is harder for black people because white people disagree with the values that they

Some other inexpensive attractions in Chicago are the different museums and exhibits scattered around the downtown area.

The main culprit of climate change is air pollution. Air pollution includes the emission of carbon dioxide from cars and fossil fuels. It has become a major problem in China because of the large population hence more carbon dioxide emission. The lethal air has forced Chinese people to wear masks to protect themselves. Therefore, through natural selection people might develop better lungs that can process all the toxins in the air. Additionally, climate change has already started to melt away some of the Artic sea ice which then causes the sea level to rise. Consequently, some cities in the future might be underwater which means that humans might need to move to higher altitude or be able to adapt to living underwater. If people move to higher altitude then the body will need to adapt to lower oxygen in take. On the other hand, humans might develop gills so they can breathe underwater. Which is not far off from reality because there have already been legends about mermaids living among
