Research Paper– GGB05 – Urban Geography Topic: Urban Dwellers
This paper is examining
on urban dwellings that are in the city where they have all the necessary
access to resources for the residents in the downtown region due to the
location where central business areas that have opportunities. The paper will
look at the benefits of living in the urban dwelling and disadvantage of living
in urban dwellings. This paper will examine some of the aspect of other
countries like India is city was undesirable place for the residents because it
was overpopulated and has traffic but compare to another city’s like Toronto
they used urban stagy to build tall condominiums and desirable malls and
streets to attract the residents in the Toronto, also tall condominiums were to
fit the overcrowded population.
I argue that the
residents live in suburban areas will not have access to shopping center closer
proximity of their dwellings and they have to use car to get to their
destination this will cause pollution however the advantage of living in urban
dwelling areas will be commute time to their job destination and closer
proximity to shopping centers so they don’t need to use car. The urban
dwellings will be expensive, and the housing would be smaller size contrasting
to suburban dwellings because suburban dwelling will be cheaper and contain the
same quality as urban dwellings. The
urban dwellers will have access to public transpiration that is easier and have
bus stops that are more frequent than suburban routs.
