It also provides answers to frequently asked questions about bills payment, town meetings, solid waste services, yard waste collection, and more.

This document discusses and compares the advantages and disadvantages of living in both cities and rural areas. The advantages of cities include more job opportunities and access to shops and services, while disadvantages are higher costs of living, pollution, noise and safety issues. Rural living has advantages like more space and lower costs but disadvantages such as lack of transportation, jobs, and entertainment options. In conclusion, city living is more convenient but also more expensive and unhealthy, while country living is calmer but can be isolating.
The document discusses the slum of Rayerbazar in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It began as an area where potters lived near the river to access clay. It is now a densely populated slum with poor living conditions. Infrastructure like roads, electricity, water and sanitation are inadequate. Community facilities such as schools, mosques and markets are limited relative to the population. Juvenile delinquency is an issue, attributed to factors like poverty, broken homes, and peer influence. Solutions proposed include improving infrastructure, adding community facilities, and preventative programs for youth.
Squatter settlements are informal communities that house people who live on abandoned land or in buildings without paying rent or ownership costs. They form due to rising populations and lack of affordable housing, with over 175 million people estimated to live in squatter settlements worldwide. Squatter settlements generally lack basic services like sanitation, water, schools, and roads since neither the residents nor cities can afford them, instead relying on makeshift latrines, wells, and sometimes stolen electricity.
Item # 1a - August 10th City Council Meeting Minutesahcitycouncil
This document summarizes the minutes from the August 10, 2020 City of Alamo Heights City Council meeting.

Rapid population growth is causing issues in cities in LEDCs. Towns and cities are growing due to high birth rates, low death rates, and migration from rural areas. Migration to cities is driven by push factors like lack of jobs and food in rural areas, and pull factors like better jobs and services in cities. This rapid urban growth is straining cities through increased pollution, lack of affordable housing like overcrowded favelas, and insufficient employment opportunities. Solutions proposed include low-cost housing schemes, self-help housing projects, and new planned towns to relieve population pressure.

Rise of Master Planned Estates_Fairfaxnews_Sept2014Richard Wood
Masterplanned estates have become popular over the past 20 years as they provide infrastructure and amenities planned in advance. They offer communal open spaces and a cohesive design style. While early estates focused on quarter-acre blocks, newer developments feature smaller lots and terraced housing. Masterplanned estates appeal to homebuyers because developers are contractually obligated to deliver promised parks, shops, and other amenities. They have become the dominant form of new housing development.

2. A Word from our Mayor...
Welcome Resident:
Dolton has a past steeped in history even before its incorporation as a village in 1892. The Dolton family served
the Underground Railroad in the mid-19th century. In the second half of the 20th century, Dolton thrived as a
home to auto and steel manufacturers, educators and other professionals, and their young families. The village
has struggled in more recent decades with the collapse of the manufacturing economy in northwest Indiana
and the south suburbs, and of course, the great recession of 2008.
As newly elected mayor in 2013, I pledged to move Dolton forward. We are a community ideally located next
to the City of Chicago and major transportation routes. We are the proud home to Thornridge High School,
public and private schools, Dolton Park, and Dolton Library Districts.
I invite you to join us at “Coffee with the Mayor” for regular updates on what’s happening in the village on the
second Saturday of each month at the Dorchester Senior Center.

9. Ordinances
Village ordinances are in place so that Dolton residents can have pride
in their community. These ordinances have been in place for many years
and are similar to surrounding communities. While it is never enjoyable
to get a ticket, village ordinances help to protect village property values
and harmonious relationships between neighbors. After all, would you
rather live next to a house that is in serious disrepair, or next to a house
that is clean and tidy? Your quality of life is affected both positively
and negatively. Listed below are several village ordinances that will
be enforced in the future. These are not new ordinances; however
