8. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings This lecture will help you understand: The scale of urbanization Urban and suburban sprawl Planning and land use strategies Transportation options The role of urban parks Impacts and advantages of urban centers Sustainable cities

9. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Central Case: Managing growth in Portland, Oregon Sprawling development can ruin communities Urban Growth Boundaries (UGBs) separate urban from rural areas UGBs are a key to quality of life, but critics say it’s elitist Urban reserves will allow development Rural reserves will preserve farms and forests

10. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Our urbanizing world* Urbanization = the movement of people from rural to urban areas - The greatest change of human society since its transition to a sedentary agricultural lifestyle Urban areas are growing rapidly -The growing human population -More people are moving to urban areas Urbanization began when agricultural surpluses allowed people to leave their farms

11. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Industrialization drove urbanization Urbanization began when agricultural surpluses allowed people to leave their farms -Creating specialized manufacturing professions, class structure, political hierarchies, and urban centers The industrial revolution spawned technology -Creating jobs and opportunities in cities -Increasing production efficiencies In 1950, 30% of the population was urban; today, it’s 49% -Urban populations will double by 2050 -Rural populations will decline by 16%

12. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Trends in urbanization In developed nations, urbanization has slowed -People already live in cities and suburbs (smaller communities that ring cities) Developing nations are urbanizing rapidly -Searching for jobs, wars, ecological damage

13. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Today’s urban centers are unprecedented Urban centers have been part of human culture for thousands of years -The sheer scale of today’s urban areas is unprecedented Today, 20 cities are home to more than 10 million residents -Tokyo, Japan, is home to 35 million people -Mexico City and New York City, each hold 19 million The majority of urban dwellers live in smaller cities

14. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Urban growth has often been rapid* American cities grew rapidly -Due to increased trade -Crowding and deteriorating economic conditions occurred -Residents moved to the suburbs Cities in southern and western states have grown -People in northern and eastern states moved in search of warmer weather or more space

15. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Urbanization in developing countries * Most fast-growing cities are in developing countries -Less need for farm labor due to industrialization -Wars, conflict, and ecological degradation Many of these cities face overcrowding, pollution, and poverty -Their economic growth does not match their population growth

16. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Factors influence the geography of urban areas Climate, topography, and the configuration of waterways help determine if a small settlement becomes a large city Many well-located cities are linchpins in trading networks -They funnel in resources from agricultural regions -Portland, Oregon; and Chicago, Illinois

17. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Spatial patterns of urbanization change Today, population centers are decentralizing -Global commerce, jet travel, television, cell phones, the Internet -Businesses don’t need to be in urban areas -Highway networks make it easier to commute

18. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings People have moved to suburbs* By the mid-1900s, the U.S. and other countries had accumulated more people than jobs -Unemployment caused poverty and crime -Affluent city dwellers moved to cleaner, less-crowded suburbs Suburbs had advantages of space and privacy -More space, better economic conditions, cheaper real estate, less crime, and better schools But natural space decreased with increasing suburbs -People had to drive everywhere, increasing traffic congestion

19. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings What enabled people to move to suburbs? Millions commute to downtown jobs from suburban “bedroom communities” -Automobiles and an expanding road network -Abundant, cheap oil Business could import and export resources, goods, and waste using roads and fossil fuels -Helped by the U.S. government’s development of the interstate highway system Jet travel, television, cell phones, the Internet allow easier communication from any area

20. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Sprawl* Houses and roads supplant more than 2 million ha (2.5 million acres) of U.S. land per year Sprawl = the spread of low-density urban or suburban development outward from an urban centerSprawl -Physical spread of development is greater than the rate of population growth -Phoenix, Arizona’s land area grew 27 times larger, while its population grew 12 times larger between 1950 and 2002

21. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings People in suburbs take up more space Each person in a suburban region takes up an average of 11 times as much space as does a resident of the city proper

22. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Several types of development lead to sprawl

23. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Sprawl has several causes* Human population growth Per Capita Land Consumption: more land per person -The amount of sprawl = the number of people added to an area times the amount of land the average person occupies -Interstate highways -Technologies (telecommunications and the Internet) free businesses from dependence on the centralized infrastructure and workers can live wherever they desire People like their space and privacy Economists, politicians, and city boosters have encouraged it -“Growth is good”

24. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings What is wrong with sprawl? Transportation: people are forced to drive cars -Pressure to own cars and drive greater distances -Increases dependence on nonrenewable petroleum -Lack of mass transit options -More traffic accidents Pollution from sprawl’s effects on transportation -Carbon dioxide, nitrogen- and sulfur-containing air pollutants -Motor oil and road salt from roads and parking lots

25. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings What else is wrong with sprawl? Health: promotes physical inactivity because driving cars replaces walking -Increases obesity and high blood pressure Land use: less land is left as forests, fields, farmland, or ranchland -Loss of ecosystem services, recreation, aesthetic beauty, wildlife habitat Economics: drains tax dollars from communities -For roads, water and sewer systems, electricity, police and fire services, schools in new developments

26. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings City and regional planning* City planning = the professional pursuit that attempts to design cities so as to maximize their efficiency, functionality, and beauty -Planners advise policymakers on development options, transportation needs, public parks, etc. Daniel Burnham’s 1909 Plan of Chicago = the first thorough plan for an American city

27. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings The Plan of Chicago Expanded city parks, playgrounds Streamlined traffic systems Removed industry and railroads from Lake Michigan

28. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Washington, D.C. was a planned city Pierre Charles L’Enfant’s 1791 plan called for splendid diagonal avenues, monuments, a spacious, stately feeling

29. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings City and regional planning City planning grew throughout 20th century -Expanding urban populations -Decay of inner cities -Wealthier residents fled to suburbs Regional planning = deals with same issues as city planning, but with broader geographic scales that must coordinate with multiple municipal governments

30. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Zoning Zoning = the practice of classifying areas for different types of development and land use -Can restrict areas to a single use or can allow a combination of residential and commercial use Opponents say that zoning’s government restriction violates individual freedoms Proponents say government can set limits for the good of the community

31. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Urban growth boundaries (UGBs) Limits sprawl: keeps growth in existing urbanized areas -Revitalize downtowns -Protect farms, forests, and their industries -Ensure urban dwellers some access to open space May reduce infrastructure costs Disadvantages: -Increases housing prices within their boundaries -Restricts development outside UGB -Increases the density of new housing inside the UGB -Increasing pressure to expand boundaries

32. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Oregon’s urban growth boundary The long-term goal was to prevent growth of a megalopolis stretching from Eugene to Seattle

33. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Smart growth Smart growth = urban growth boundaries and other land use policies to control growthSmart growth Proponents promote: -Healthy neighborhoods and communities -Jobs and economic development -Transportation options -Environmental quality Building “up, not out” -Focusing development in existing areas -Favoring multistory shop-houses and high-rises

34. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Principles of smart growth Mixed land uses Compact building design Range of housing opportunities and choices Walkable neighborhoods Distinctive, attractive neighborhoods Preserve open space Develop existing communities A variety of transportation choices Predictable development decisions Community collaboration in development decisions

35. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings New urbanism New urbanism = neighborhoods are designed on a walkable scale -Homes, businesses, and schools are close together Functional neighborhoods in which most of a family’s needs can be met without the use of a car

36. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Transit-oriented development Transit-oriented development = communities arrayed around stops on a major rail transit line -People can travel by train and foot alone Zoning rules must cooperate with new urbanism -Denser development must be allowed

37. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Mass transportation A key in improvement of quality of urban life Options include: -Public buses -Trains and subways -Light rail = smaller rail systems powered by electricity Cheaper, more energy efficient, and cleaner Traffic congestion is eased

38. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Train and bus systems The most-used train systems in the U.S. are in the largest cities -Carry more than 25% of each city’s daily commuters Most countries have bus systems more accessible than in the U.S. Light rail systems are rapidly increasing

39. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings U.S. mass transit lags behind other nations Most nations have extensive, accessible bus systems -The U.S. lags behind in mass transit systems Other nations have high-speed bullet trains -The U.S. starves its only national passenger trains (Amtrak) of funding Why is U.S. mass transit behind? -Low population density and cheap fuel support roads and cars -In 2009, Congress set aside $8 billion for high- speed rail

40. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings 40 Mass Transit

41. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Problems with mass transport* Expensive to replace existing roads Types of mass transit differ in their effectiveness -Depends on city size, size of the transit system Governments can encourage mass transit -Raise fuel taxes -Tax inefficient modes of transport -Reward carpoolers -Encourage bicycle use and bus ridership -Charge trucks for road damage -Stimulate investment in renewed urban centers

52. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings 52 Biking in Beijing

53. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Parks and open spaces are key elements* City dwellers want to escape from noise, commotion, and stress of urban life Natural lands, public parks, and open space provide greenery, scenic beauty, freedom, and recreation Protecting natural lands becomes more important with increased urbanization -Because urban dwellers become more isolated and disconnected with nature

54. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings City parks* Originated in America in at the end of the 19th century -People wanted to make dirty, crowded cities more livable -Began in eastern cities -Lawns, groves, and curved pathways originated with European ideals

55. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Conflicts between the wealthy and labor classes* Conflicts over park’s intended purposes arose -Rich citizens wanted aesthetic “pleasure grounds” -Carriage rides -Poor citizens were interested in active recreation -Ballgames

56. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Smaller public spaces are also important Small spaces can make a big difference -Playgrounds, community gardens

57. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Greenways Greenways = strips of land that connect parks or neighborhoods -Protect water quality -Boost property values -Corridors for wildlife movement Ecological restoration in cities -Enhances “naturalness” of cities -San Francisco’s Presidio area is being restored to native dune communities

58. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Greenbelts Greenbelts = long, wide corridors of parklands -May surround an entire urban area Many cities are trying ecological restoration to restore the area’s naturalness -Volunteers help remove exotic plants, restore prairies Chicago’s 100,000 acres of forest preserves stretch through the suburbs

59. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Urbanization impacts the environment* Resource sinks = cities must import resources from long distances -We rely on large expanses of land elsewhere for resources -We need natural land for ecosystem services (air and water purification, nutrient cycling, water treatment)

60. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings People don’t feel the consequences of choices Isolated urban residents don’t feel the environmental impact of their choices Long distance transportation of resources requires a great deal of fossil fuels -But, a world without cities would require more fossil fuels

61. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Efficiency in urban areas Efficiency = the concentration of people in cities allows efficient consumption of resources -City density facilitates social services that improve the quality of life -Medical services, education, water and sewer systems, waste disposal, transportation

62. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Consumption in urban areas Consumption = heavy use of outside resources extends ecological footprints of cities to a level far beyond their actual sizes -Cities take up only 2% of the land surface, but consume more than 75% of the world’s resources -Urban dwellers have far larger ecological footprints that rural dwellers -But, urban residents tend to be wealthier, and wealth correlates with consumption

63. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Cities preserve land but export pollution Because people are packed densely in cities, more land outside cities is left undeveloped -If cities did not exist, we would have much less room for agriculture, wilderness, biodiversity, or privacy Cities export wastes and transfer the costs of activities to other regions -Citizens are exposed to pollution such as heavy metals and chemicals -The poor bear the brunt of pollution because they are too poor to move

64. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Cities have noise and light pollution Noise pollution = undesired ambient sound -Degrades aesthetic surroundings -Can induce stress and harm hearing Light pollution = lights obscure the night sky, impairing the visibility of starsLight pollution

65. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Urban centers foster innovation Cities promote a flourishing cultural life -They spark innovation and creativity -Promote education and scientific research -They are engines of technological and artistic inventiveness -They serve as markets for organic produce, recycling, and education

66. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Some seek sustainability for cities Cities must replace the one-way linear metabolism of importing resources and exporting wastes -Destabilizes environmental systems and are not sustainable Urban ecology = cities can be viewed explicitly as ecosystems -Fundamentals of ecology and systems apply to cities

67. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Urban sustainability: cities should… Use resources efficiently Recycle Develop environmentally friendly technologies Account fully for external costs Offer tax incentives for sustainable practices Use locally produced resources Use organic waste and wastewater to restore soil fertility Encourage urban agriculture

68. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Green buildings: key toward sustainability Constructing or renovating buildings using efficient technologies -The best way to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions -Buildings consume 40% of energy and 70% of electricity Green buildings = structures that reduce their ecological footprints -Built from sustainable materials -Minimize energy and water use -Recycle wastes

69. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings LEED program Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) = a certification program run by the U.S. Green Building Council New or renovated buildings apply for certification -They can be granted silver, gold, or platinum status Green building techniques are more expensive -But not as much as expected LEED certification is booming in the U.S. -Built with local, nontoxic products; are energy efficient, educational

70. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Cities can become sustainable Singapore, Japan, produces all its own meat Curitiba, Brazil, has a highly effective bus network, as well as provides recycling, environmental education, job training, and free health care Developed countries should invest in resource-efficient technologies to reduce their impacts Developing countries should invest in basic infrastructure to improve health and living conditions

71. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Conclusion As half the human population has moved to urban lifestyles, our environmental impact has changed Resources must be delivered over long distances Urban sustainability makes urban areas better places to live -Expanding transportation options to relieve congestion -Ensuring access to park lands and greenspaces prevents us from becoming isolated from nature American cities are becoming more livable
