Cities Face A Range Of Social And Environmental Challenges Resulting From Rapid Growth And Resource Demands
Muhtasari
Why is the department store in the centre and the steelworks on the ring road? Why does the same city contain both a street of eight-million-pound houses and a settlement built by its own residents from salvaged materials? Urban land use is not random, and the rules behind it are learnable.
You will work out how locational needs, accessibility and land values sort activities across a city, then examine what a wealthy city and a rapidly growing one each struggle with. London's problems are those of concentrated consumption: food, energy, transport and waste on an enormous scale, plus deep segregation. Mumbai's are those of growth outrunning supply. Both are real, and both need to be described precisely, with named places and figures.
Malengo

- Urban challenges in a named developed country: food, energy, transport and waste disposal demands, concentrated resource consumption, segregation
- Urban challenges in a named developing country or emerging country: squatter settlements, informal economy, urban pollution, and low quality of life
