Cities & Progressivism
(5 Pages, 59.75 $ (USD) )
|
|
A 5 page research paper that the concept of progressivism within the context of urban politics. Paul Peterson has argued that cities are compelled to compete with other cities in regards to the development of new businesses and industry in order to expand their tax base and generate new revenues. Peterson pictures redistributive policies as "pernicious" and "unproductive" because they undermine a city's competitive edge (Peterson 40). Basically, Peterson sees developmental policies as beyond the scope routine local politics, leaving only allocational policies are the only remaining arena for local level debate (Peterson 40-44). Is this pessimistic assessment accurate? Is it possible to have a truly progressive agenda within the context of contemporary urban politics? This question is examined according to the experiences of three cities, San Francisco, Atlanta and Los Angeles. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Urban Sprawl, Good or Bad?
(4 Pages, 47.8 $ (USD) )
|
|
A 4 page research paper that investigates readings both pro and con concerning urban sprawl. Over the past several years, a prominent political movement has developed in the US whose stated purpose is to limit-or even prohibit-the processes of behind suburban growth (Cox and Utt, 2004). This "anti-sprawl" movement has been frequently successful in restricting land-use policies, deriving its justification from the idea that low-density urban development (sprawl) is more costly, both monetarily and environmentally, than the dense development typical of central cities (Cox and Utt, 2004). This examination of this movement looks at viewpoints, both pro and con, before drawing a conclusion as to the validity of either side. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Ecology of Fear: Los Angeles and The Imagination of Disaster
(5 Pages, 59.75 $ (USD) )
|
|
This 15 page paper addresses this major issue. Los Angeles, the City of Angels, has also been described as the city of dreams and the city of hope. In an almost prophetic tale of conflict and decline, Mike Davis, in Ecology of Hope: Los Angeles and The Imagination of Disaster, argues that Los Angeles is a city poised for disaster. It is Davis' developed belief that Los Angeles is a city that was constructed in a manner that lends itself to susceptibility to disaster, and promotes a lifestyle that is completely unprepared for these types of natural responses to urban development. More particularly, the major changes that land developers, business leaders and urban planners have made to the region determine the vulnerability of the city to natural disaster.
