Overview of the community
Phoenix has grown so much in the last 40 years
All the areas are modern
Cost of living 33.2%
Pleasant winters and entertainment
Originally a resort city, Phoenix has grown phenomenally in the past 40 years into a full-
scale urban center- largely made possible by the advent of air-conditioning. The Phoenix
metropolitan area covers over 1,000 square miles. Downtown, which is fairly modest for a
city its size, features a few skyscrapers, the capitol, government offices, and a few quality
museums. Surrounding downtown are several large and fairly distinct city-suburbs, mostly
built on a sprawling grid, in some cases separated by low hills. These include the large
middle-class suburbs of Peoria, Mesa, Chandler, and Glendale; upscale Scottsdale; and
the college area of Tempe which serves as home to Arizona State University. All areas are
modern and generally lacking in historic interest, but keep in mind that Phoenix only had
100,000 residents in 1950.

Barriers and Challenges of the Community
Pollution
Managing growth
Financing growth and improvements
Water
Intense summer heat (“Scottsdale, Arizona Health,” n.d.)
Scottsdale is also ranked among the top 10 cities that pollute
the air in the country
whereby it’s above average amount of air (Scottsdale=31.8, US
=28.3) and particulate
substance (Scottsdale=33.3, US=22.1). A thin brown cloud is
usually apparent on poor air
days. The vulnerable people in the community are children and
the elderly who are at risk
for respiratory diseases like bronchitis as well as asthma
Other challenges in the region involve managing the growth in
the area and financing
growth and improvements. Although there is no current shortage
of water future concerns
however exists as the city is in a desert with water having
recently reduced from the
supplying rivers. Other challenges result from the extreme
weather conditions especially
during the summer which is characterized by intense heat.
