Socioeconomic Structure In Los Angeles As A Stimulus For The 1992 Riots
[ send me this essay ]
A 9 page research paper on social conditions which caused the eruption of the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. The writer posits that the Rodney King verdict was merely a final stimulus ('the straw that broke the camel's back') for the ensuing violence but that various other social, economic, cultural, and demographic factors contributed to it as well. Conflict, race relations, and immigration to South Central Los Angeles are of particular importance in this insightful sociopolitical analysis. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Recycling Cities' Industrial Areas
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing decay in downtown Detroit, the
renovation of the L&N Railroad terminal in Knoxville, Tennessee and the conversion of tobacco
warehouses in Durham, North Carolina to a pedestrian shopping mall. These beautiful old
buildings that have been sitting vacant for decades can have a positive effect on the areas around
them. Narrow, twisting streets may not be conducive to using them again as industrial sites, but
there are higher and better uses available. Whether used for shops, restaurants, offices,
apartments or a combination, cities' old industrial areas can become vital once again, and in ways
never originally intended. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Environmentally Sustainable Cities: A Contradiction In Terms
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. There is no question that the notion of environmentally sustainable cities represents a contradiction in terms for the simple reason that the very aspect of any sort of growth will have a detrimental impact upon the environment. In light of the fact that the world's population continues to explode, thus requiring more and more room and resources in which to appease the earth's inhabitants, the environment is facing continued degradation while much of its wildlife is becoming threatened. However, there are those who believe that the notion of environmentally sustainable cities is more than just a notion; indeed, they contend that modern design will help to allow mankind and the environment to harmoniously co-exist. The writer discusses environmentally sustainable cities in relation to being a contradiction in terms. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
