American Cities THE CENTRAL CITY THE SUBURBS THE NEW URBANISM ASSESSING THE AMERICAN CITY We're coming, finally, to a sequence of four portraits of the world's humanized landscapes. That's what human geography is finally about. You could say that we're looking at pattern now, rather than process. Or you could say that we're looking at the visible consequences of all the activities we've been tracing. I want to begin with American cities, because they're the places we know best. What comes to mind with this topic? One thing is downtown, that cluster of skyscrapers that immigrants first saw from the decks of liners coming into New York's harbor. Now we mostly see downtown through a car or plane window, but it still grabs our attention. Around it, there is the huge penumbra of suburbia: freeways, arterial streets, curvilinear residential streets, commercial strips, a carpet of houses with backyard pools, and a scattering of bigger buildingsshopping centerss, college campuses, hospitals, stadiums, warehouses, and factories. Those are the tangibles. There's something else, too. Maybe it's excitement. Maybe it's fear. Maybe it's a sense of a world with nothing worth doing or seeing. Maybe it's some of each.

Terracotta Clues (1 day) The Migrating Jing (5 days) Abstract The geography of cities, particularly planned cities and capitals, are valuable historical documents that can be read to reveal what was important to a society, how the society saw itself in the world, what its priorities were and what it feared. This information can be seen both in the location chosen for cities and in the actual layout of the city plan. Cities are created by humans. Therefore city possess, in their location and design of their buildings and streets, a human logic. Decoding that logic gives powerful insight into the minds of the people who built these cities. This unit explores methods of reading cities that are applicable to ancient Rome, imperial China, modern Boston and any city of any time or place.
Extractions: Orientation to Maryland Maryland lies at the heart of cultural, educational and recreational activities on the Atlantic seaboard. The term "variety" captures the essence of our special state, from Maryland's geography to its economy to its distinct communities. It is also on the leading edge of economic and technological innovation. For example, the recent announcement of the successful completion of the human genome sequencing effort came jointly from two Maryland-based organizations. And Maryland is now home to some of the leading companies in the emerging photonics sector so critical to information technology and related applications. Maryland offers businesses a world of opportunities

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Traditionally, the high school curriculum has been rigidly compartmentalized. Yet, linkages between disciplines in the curriculum increasingly are being made, such as the connections of English to U.S. History courses in many high schools. Another connection may be English with World Geography courses. Students of every ability level could benefit from exploring the interrelationship between these two disciplines. In this ERIC Digest, the term literature refers to novels, short stories, poetry, plays, and folk tales. It consists of narrative as opposed to expository forms of writing that are found in traditional textbooks, reference books, and news articles. By no means, however, should literature be the sole tool used to teach geography or other subjects of the social studies. Rather, each form of narrative and expository writing has its place in the social studies curriculum.

Extractions: Dr. Mila Zlatic, Department of Geography Globalization! An inherited buzz word from the 20th century. Is it really going to change the very texture of life in all of our cities and local communities? How is it going to influence me as a citizen of the world? and why? In this class we will investigate both questions. In remarkably short time, a world of "urban specks" was replaced by a predominantly "urban world." Today, more than 50 percent of the world's population lives in the cities. Cities, besides being our home-towns, are becoming crucial nodes for the international coordination and servicing of firms, markets, and even whole economies. These cities emerge as strategic places in the global economy. The development of the world urban system and the role of cities across the globe, with a special focus on world cities will be discussed. The world cities have become strategic sites for the management of the global economy and

Saving Farms By Saving Cities sprawls effect on the human geography of urban in many neighborhoods of centralcities and (more mandated urban growth boundaries to marylands Smart http://www.msu.edu/~cua/Cnv Spring 99/Saving Farms Sp 99.htm
Extractions: Saving Farms by Saving Cities: Sprawl, Race, and Concentrated Poverty by David Rusk To save our farms, we must save our cities. Nobody has linked the future of rural and urban areas more succinctly than Jack Laurie, Michigan Farm Bureau president, speaking to the House Bi-Partisan Urban Caucus in January 1998. However, urban sprawls effect on the human geography of urban areas has been even greater. Sprawl has accelerated the decline of central cities and older, built-out suburbs, increased economic segregation (even as racial barriers are slowly lowered), and widened fiscal disparities among local governments. The indices of urban sprawl and its social costs are particularly acute in Michigan. Between 1960 and 1990 Michigans ten expanding urbanized areas consumed land at six times the population growth rate. Michigan suburbanized more land (about 545,000 acres) for less population growth (another 630,00 suburban residents) than any state in the nation. Except in the greater Detroit area, Michigan suburbs average 1,000 to 1,600 persons per square mile well below the national suburban average of 2,100 persons per square mile. Michigans six-to-one ratio of land-to-population growth reflects both very low-density development of the urban fringe and hollowing out of the urban core. Almost all of Michigans central cities have lost residents since past population peaks, most notably Detroit (-46%), Benton Harbor (-38%), Saginaw (-34%), Bay City and Flint (-32%), and Jackson (-30%). Since 1950 only Ann Arbor (+62%), Holland (+110%), and Midland (+179%), successfully annexing new subdivisions, are still growing.
Population Estimates: Concepts And Geography In four states (maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia Consolidated cities includeButteSilver Bow, MT; Athens by the Census Bureau's geography Division. http://eire.census.gov/popest/archives/place/concepts.php
Extractions: census population estimates text menu What is a population estimate? The Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program (PEP) produces July 1 estimates for years after the last published decennial census (1990), as well as for past decades. Existing data series such as births, deaths, Federal tax returns, medicare enrollment, and immigration, are used to update the decennial census base counts. PEP estimates are used in Federal funding allocations, in setting the levels of national surveys, and in monitoring recent demographic changes. A methodology reference accompanies most of our population estimates offerings. How are estimates different from projections? There is not a distinct dichotomy between population estimates and population projections, but there are some differences in time reference and derivation. Estimates usually are for the past, while projections typically are for future dates. Estimates generally use existing symptomatic data, for example, (births, deaths, migration), collected from various sources. Projections must assume future trends for fertility, mortality, and other demographic processes. At the Census Bureau, the population projections use the latest available estimates as starting points. In our current product offerings the user may see both an estimate and a projection available for the same reference date, which may not agree because they were produced at different times. In such cases, estimates are the preferred data.

"The New Geography" By Joel Kotkin To Kotkin, the new geography describes a transformation of cities, older suburbsand and biotechnology parks along Interstate 270 in maryland, the fastest http://www.newgeography.com/WashingtonPost_review.htm
Extractions: A fter a half-dozen years of charmed growth, the Washington region's young Internet and telecommunications industries have been caught in a long, harsh storm that has cut away billions of dollars in stock value and millions in expected revenue this year. It may be many months more before the storm passes and we see how much of the new growth is still standing and thriving. But however that battle winds up, the capital region will remain fundamentally changed by the uprising of technology start-ups and the migration of tens of thousands of technology workers to the region since the mid-1990s. The story of that migration is the subject of "The New Geography," a book by journalist and researcher Joel Kotkin, a senior fellow at Pepperdine University and the Milken Institute in California. To Kotkin, "the new geography" describes a transformation of cities, older suburbs and newly planted outer suburbs in places such as the Washington region where information technology industries have taken hold. In Kotkin's view, the power of information technology companies to attract and concentrate wealth will be the decisive factor in deciding which areas of the country prosper and which fall further by the wayside. "Workers in the information fieldwhose numbers are projected to nearly double between 1994 and 2005represent the ascendant new middle class of the twenty-first century, earning roughly twice as much as other private sector workers," he writes.
