Urban populations are growing rapidly worldwide, with over half of all people now living in cities. As populations increase, more housing and development is needed, reducing green spaces. However, urban parks are important for public health and quality of life, helping to reduce issues like obesity and crime. In Austin, the population is growing quickly but the amount of parkland is sufficient currently, though more will be needed in the future. Individual involvement in caring for neighborhood parks is important to maintain green spaces as urban areas increase in size and density.

The document discusses how cities can be viewed as living organisms that require resources like food, water, energy and information to survive. It notes that early cities like Angkor Wat likely collapsed due to ecological disasters caused by deforestation and changes to water systems. Modern cities also face resource challenges and will need to focus on resource efficiency through good planning and engineering to avoid problems related to scarcity of critical resources. Connecting cities through strong transportation networks may be more important for economic growth than just increasing the population size of individual cities.

mosspoint
When Hurricane Katrina devastated Moss Point, Mississippi, city leaders faced rebuilding the city with limited resources and experience. With help from the Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC), Moss Point now has a vision for a more just, resilient and livable city where residents shape its future through eco-tourism and smart growth. Since 2005, ISC has provided guidance to Moss Point on planning, leadership, civic engagement and economic development, helping implement unprecedented public outreach and nurturing nonprofits to become effective community partners. Moss Point has made progress on integrating smart growth, increasing civic participation, and attracting new resources.
Urban Agriculture: charting the new democratic governance of food production
Urban Agriculture: charting the new democratic governance of food production Countryside and Community Research Institute
This document summarizes research on urban agriculture and food production in Bristol, England. It discusses how social movements in Bristol have created over 100 grassroots food projects and established a Food Policy Council to democratically govern the local food system. The researchers analyzed social media, interviewed key actors, and observed projects to understand how these initiatives build a sense of community and commoning around food. Their conclusions discuss how this movement challenges the limitations of the contemporary food system and debates new frameworks for civic participation around food production beyond consumerism.Chris Leubkeman - ARUP - Connected and Sustainable Cities
The document discusses sustainable urban living and the challenges of increasing urban populations globally. By 2050, China's urban population is projected to increase by over 600 million people to 1.12 billion total. With a projected world population of 9 billion inhabitants, sustainable and connected cities will be crucial to accommodate more people while preserving the environment we all share.
Involving citizens in the re use of assets
This document discusses involving citizens in the re-use of community assets by asking who defines what an asset is, what value assets provide, whether assets are for a community or the community as a whole, how to build a community around assets, and how to make it easy for people to get involved.
compact cities vs. urban sprawl
This document discusses compact cities and urban sprawl. It defines a compact city as having high residential density, mixed land uses, and an efficient transportation system to reduce energy consumption and pollution. Benefits include lower costs, less resource use, and more social interaction. Examples given are Melbourne, Toyama, Vancouver, and Curitiba. Urban sprawl is defined as uncontrolled urban growth into rural areas, characterized by low densities and car dependency, which increases infrastructure costs. The document suggests limiting sprawl to better manage expenses and control population growth.
Mass37 melanie2
Massachusetts residents drive over 37 billion miles per year, which is equivalent to traveling to Jupiter 100 times. On average, each person drives 5,625 miles per year, similar to a round trip flight from Boston to San Francisco. The state has over 3.8 million registered vehicles, which is about 1.5 vehicles per household. Roads and paved areas make up 11% of the state's land area. Residents consume over 10 million gallons of gasoline daily, resulting in greenhouse gas emissions of over 97,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per day. Potential solutions to reduce driving dependence and emissions include increasing public transit, biking, walking and telecommuting options.

Factors for City Transformation
The document discusses factors that transform cities, including population growth, migration, and infrastructure upgrades. It provides examples of population growth in developing countries leading to overcrowded and unsanitary slums. Infrastructure upgrades, like those in 1850s Paris under Hausmann, can modernize cities through demolition and new wide boulevards, but also cause social imbalance and economic polarization. Political and management issues, as well as legal changes, influence how cities morphologically change through transport networks, building typologies, and urban sprawl.
Compact City
This document discusses densities and compactness in developing country cities. It finds that densities are much higher than in developed countries, facilitated by smaller dwelling sizes, mixed land uses, and higher densities near city centers. While central city densities are higher, overall city areas are larger in developing countries. Higher densities support more diverse transit options but congestion is also higher. Compactness provides some environmental and infrastructure benefits but does not necessarily correlate with better environmental quality. Lessons are that developing country transportation cannot be directly replicated and compactness results less from planning than from economic factors.
President sanchez speech to National Academies
The president gives a speech on the 20th anniversary of the millennial omnibus infrastructure bill. The bill showed that political parties could work together to address infrastructure issues facing the nation. Urban infrastructure has improved due to the bill and efforts of engineers. While population growth was projected to be higher, disasters and conflicts reduced the global population to 8 billion currently. Infrastructure issues in the late 20th century like decaying transit systems and pollution reached crisis levels. The 2001 attacks and later disasters highlighted the importance of resilient infrastructure systems. A new paradigm now recognizes infrastructure as integral to urban development and takes a comprehensive, long-term view of maintenance and emergency response.
Mega City
South Asia is experiencing rapid urbanization, with five of its cities projected to be among the largest in the world by 2015. This growth is driven by rural-to-urban migration as people seek economic opportunities. However, many migrants end up living in slums lacking basic services. The region's megacities face challenges like sprawling slums, poverty, disease, pollution and lack of infrastructure. Dhaka has experienced extreme population growth and now has over 12 million residents, with many living in poor conditions. Other large and growing South Asian cities discussed are Mumbai, Delhi, and Karachi. Effective solutions are needed to manage urban growth and improve living standards in a sustainable manner.
Lesson One
The document discusses global urbanization trends, defining key terms and examining problems associated with highly urbanized populations. It notes that the proportion of people living in urban areas has increased significantly over time, especially in LEDCs since 1950 due to rural migration and population growth. Tables show the changing distribution and growth of the world's largest cities between 1960 and 2000, with urbanization concentrated in coastal areas across all continents except Australasia and Africa.
World Cities
By 2030, 60% of the global population will live in urban areas, with Asia's urban population rising from 1.4 billion to 2.6 billion. There will be close to 30 megacities with over 10 million people, including Istanbul, Guangzhou, and Bogota. Many cities, especially in developing areas, face problems like sprawling slums, lack of infrastructure, and pollution as populations grow rapidly. Solutions require better planning and more sustainable practices around resource use, transportation, and waste management.
Density09
The document discusses topics around population density, including how population density is calculated using the number of people per square area. It provides examples of the population densities of Wyoming and New York. It also mentions some problems that can arise from crowding, such as limiting factors, and discusses how high the global population could grow if distributed with New York City's population density.
Planet of slums power point
There are over 200,000 slums worldwide housing over 20 million people in South Asia alone. Slums range in population and living conditions, from small informal settlements to massive "megaslums" on the outskirts of cities with continuous belts of poverty housing. Most new urban population growth since 1970 has occurred in slums. While squatting and informal housing helps the poor live near jobs, it also often locates them in hazardous areas subject to landslides, pollution, and other environmental risks that wealthier cities mitigate through infrastructure. Satellite images show vast inequality in land use between the wealthy and poor in cities like Nairobi and Dhaka. Governments also often try to hide slums from view or displace slum dwell
The people-centred city
How can architects and planners help to create cities fit for the future? This presentation, created for the international conference on Cities, People and Places organised by the University of Moratuwa in Sri Lanka in October 2013, argues that people-centred policies that encourage sociability and civic participation are needed in response to global issues such as climate change and urbanisation.
compact city definition and concept
A compact city is defined as having high urban density, protected open spaces, mixed land uses, revitalized downtowns and central business districts with residential uses, and a highly-used public transit system. This compact design facilitates sustainable transportation through shorter travel distances and more walking, efficient use of land, social cohesion and cultural development, and lower per capita infrastructure costs. The compact city has become a guiding principle for planning and design policies in many developed countries.
Visions of the city by Ola Faworaja
Ebenezer Howard was concerned with overcrowding in large 19th century cities. He proposed building new towns, called "garden cities", that would blend the best of urban and rural life. Garden cities would be planned communities surrounded by greenbelts, combining the charm of the countryside with the conveniences of the city. Letchworth Garden City, built in Hertfordshire, England in the early 1900s, was one of the first examples of Howard's garden city concept and influenced future town planning and new towns.

- Bangkok, Thailand is a prime example of a primate city, with a population of over 5.5 million that is many times larger than Thailand's second largest city of Nakhon Ratchasima, which has a population of only 278,000.
- Primate cities, where the largest city greatly overshadows the second largest in size, are common in some countries like France, Mexico, and Thailand, but are less common in more decentralized countries with multiple large and medium-sized cities like the US, China, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and India.
- George Zipf's rank-size rule from 1949 describes a pattern where the population of each subsequent smaller city in a country is half the
Planet of slums
The document discusses the rapid growth of megacities and slums in developing countries over the past 50 years. It notes that over 95% of population growth will occur in urban areas in these countries, leading to a doubling of their populations over the next generation. This rapid urbanization has outpaced infrastructure development and job creation, resulting in widespread poverty and the rise of massive slums housing over 1 billion people globally by 2005. The document examines different typologies of slums from small communities to "megaslums" merging into continuous belts of informal housing. Attempts by governments and organizations like the World Bank to improve conditions have faced challenges in addressing the needs of the poorest residents.
Urban Sprawl In America
Urban sprawl occurs when cities expand outward into rural areas, consuming land. This document summarizes some key causes and impacts of urban sprawl in the United States. Population growth is a major driver, as people seek more affordable housing and space in the suburbs. However, urban sprawl leads to increased pollution, traffic, and loss of agricultural land. It also strains infrastructure and finances as governments must expand services further out. The document recommends controlling population growth and changing attitudes about development to limit unsustainable urban sprawl.
Alison Emilo Thesis Book 2012
This document provides an overview and context for a parks master plan project focused on Downey, CA. It notes that over 80% of Americans now live in urban areas, which cover just 3% of the total land in the US, resulting in a shortage of open space. The document discusses how a lack of parks and green space negatively impacts community and individual health. It also outlines population and development trends that are reducing open space availability. The master plan aims to identify opportunities to adapt existing land in Downey to better meet the recreational and open space needs of the growing population.

Human's Urbanization -- Kingsley Davis
This document provides biographical information about Kingsley Davis, a prominent American sociologist and demographer, and summarizes his 1965 article on the urbanization of the human population. Davis studied the growth of cities and predicted that world population would reach 6 billion by 2000, which was remarkably close to the actual population of 6 billion in 1999. The article discusses how urbanization differs from city growth, traces the history of urbanization, and examines factors that cause people to migrate from rural to urban areas, such as industrialization and job opportunities in cities.
Top 8 global megatrends

This document discusses urbanization and analyzes three case studies located along the Interstate 35 corridor in central Texas. The first case study is the Barton Creek Greenbelt in Austin, which is described as "urbanized nature" despite being a green space. Evidence provided includes observations of human waste, construction activities, and evidence that the greenbelt's users are predominantly white and higher-income. The second case study is the Mueller community in Austin, described as reformed spaces with diverse places. The third is the town square in Wimberley, analyzed as a commoditized place that attracts tourism. The document examines how these case studies relate to concepts of urbanization, capitalism, and their impacts on nature.
Alex Steffen of Worldchanging Night One part 3
This document discusses the challenges of transitioning to a more sustainable paradigm in the face of societal and environmental changes. It uses the examples of Albania and the Czech Republic after the fall of communism to illustrate the consequences of either doubling down on failed systems or embracing innovation. The main points are: 1) societies that cling to broken paradigms like Albania stagnate, while those open to change like the Czech Republic thrive; 2) Seattle faces conceptual challenges in acknowledging assumptions that are no longer valid; and 3) bold action is needed to transform systems and make Seattle a global leader in sustainability by becoming the first carbon-neutral city in North America by 2030.
1 Intro To Urban Geography
1. Early humans were hunter-gatherers but began transitioning to sedentary agriculture and permanent settlements starting 10,000 years ago in places like Catal Huyuk in Turkey and Jericho in Jordan.
2. The development of cities and civilizations was driven by favorable conditions for domesticating plants and animals. This led to more complex societies with specialized labor.
3. The Industrial Revolution in Britain in the late 1700s increased urbanization as manufacturing grew and people migrated to cities for work, leading to population booms and the rise of the first industrial cities like Manchester.

The document discusses various environmental issues and how artists address these topics. It mentions issues like widening inequality, human impact on other species, consumption patterns, and ecological footprints. It profiles several artists like Chris Jordan who create large-scale portraits highlighting waste like plastic cups and discarded electronics. Another artist, Edward Burtynsky, photographs industrial sites. The introduction asks how understanding of nature is cultural and how the featured artists depict humanity's relationship with and impact on the environment.
Future of Cities presentation
Presentation by Sir Mark Walport at the Foundation for Science and Technology discussion on 'Cities of the future – science, innovation and city management', June 2013
Degrowing urban japan: From vacant lots to biocultural cityscapes
Japan frequently features as a prime example of (involuntary) degrowth. With severe depopulation of about 15% projected for the next 25 years, degrowth seems inevitable rather than utopian, frantic attempts by the Japanese government to boost growth notwithstanding. This trend is strongest in rural areas, but large cities such as Osaka, Kyoto or Sapporo are also expected to shrink by more than 10%. Yet in transitioning to sustainable, non-growth-based lifestyles, rural and coastal Japanese communities are reviving traditional models of landscape stewardship (satoyama and satoumi) that have no urban counterparts.
In this paper, I attempt to envision how such a counterpart for Japanese cities could look like. For this purpose, I draw upon characteristics of the traditional rural models such as biocultural diversity to combine them with key degrowth concepts and recent advances in urban green infrastructure. In particular, I examine what role the vacant lots and other informal green spaces of shrinking cities might play in realizing what Peter Matanle has termed the ‘depopulation dividend’. The aim is an urban landscape stewardship model (satomachi, derived from the Japanese characters for “arable land, home land” and “town, suburb”) that supports both human and non-human livelihood with a high quality of life as well as a functional, diverse ecosystem.
Green Infrastructure
Green infrastructure can provide significant environmental and economic benefits for cities. It can save on energy costs by reducing the need for cooling and improve air quality by removing pollutants. Investing in trees and stormwater management through techniques like rain gardens and bioswales can also save costs associated with pollution, erosion and flooding while capturing stormwater for reuse. When designed as a connected system, green infrastructure maintains ecological processes and supports wildlife.

Ecosystem balance and human impact
This document discusses topics related to ecology, ecosystems, deforestation, population growth in Pakistan, urbanization, and their impacts. It notes that the human population will grow to 8 billion by 2025. Deforestation has cleared large areas of forests for human needs like agriculture and industry, disrupting the delicate balance in ecosystems. Rapid urbanization and population growth in Pakistan have strained resources and increased problems like overcrowding and the spread of diseases.
Increasing Population Uncertainty Essay
The document discusses how increasing human population is putting pressure on the environment and economy. It notes that the world population is growing by 90 million people per year and will soon reach 6 billion people, posing challenges around food production and housing. Rapid population growth coincides with improved health and productivity, but questions whether agriculture can sustainably feed more people, especially with exponential growth. Technology has increased yields but may not keep pace with rising demand from population and diet changes. Overall human overpopulation is negatively impacting the environment, resources and economy.
Plan1900: Global Urban Trends
This document discusses global urban trends related to sustainability and sustainable cities. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It then discusses critiques of this definition and different interpretations. The three pillars of sustainability are identified as the economy, equity, and the environment. Rapid urbanization is occurring globally, with over half the world's population now living in cities. This brings challenges around resource consumption, pollution, infrastructure, and services. Examples of urban trends like sprawl, megacities, and megalopolises are provided. Sustainable cities aim to balance economic development, social equity, and environmental protection.

- 1. B Y : N O A H R E M M E R T Urban Green Space
- 2. Imagine for a moment… a world of concrete
- 3. In 2008, the world reached a milstone: Half of the world’s Population now lives in urban areas. 50 years ago it was 30%.. A century ago it was 10%. (Anthropocene Journal)
- 4. By 2015, it is expected that there will be 23 cities with a population over 10 million people. (UN)
- 5. In Bangladesh, Population density is higher than anywhere in the world, Topping out at 1,229 people per square Kilometer. (Bartholomew Maps)
- 6. The Population of Austin Is about 842,000 people, and rising at the most rapid rate in the United States. (World Population Statistics)
- 7. Along with the rising population, comes the increase in Condominiums, high rises, and other urban housing.
- 8. What is it that makes Austin great?
- 9. The Music?
- 10. The food?
- 11. “The reason people love Austin is all of the parks and trails, so we really need to focus on where the next Zilker park will be, how do we get those things built today, that we are going to need tomorrow?” (Colin Wallis: Austin Parks Foundation Executive Director.)
- 12. Without these Urban Green Spaces, issues like obesity, Crime rates, and quality of life become larger problems In society. (Project Evergreen) (Stromberg)
- 13. “The Austin Parks Foundation takes care of over 300 parks and trails within Austin Proper…” (Sara Marler: Austin Parks foundation Volunteer) But sometimes, it’s not always enough…
- 14. “I think we do really well with the amount of green space that we have right now, but we don’t do a very good job of taking care of it.” (Wallis)
- 15. “Each individual can help by caring, and that’s a big issue.” (Marler)
- 16. “The only way we are ever going to actually keep green spaces nice, is if people really take ownership of their own spaces. To make sure that their own neighborhood park is taken care of, because expecting that someone else is going to do it is never the answer.” (Marler)
- 17. “With urban areas increasing, the short answer would be that the amount of green space we have is sufficient for now, but we should always be thinking 5- 10 years ahead, and we need to be actively trying to help the city acquire green space.” (Wallis)
- 18. “The way for us to be truly effective, is for each individual to take Ownership of their own community.” (Marler)
- 19. Be a steward of your local urban green spaces and parks. In an increasingly urban world, help save what really makes Our city, our Country, and our planet great.
