The American Ideal Of Suburbia
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The American ideal of suburbia reflects a trend of living that is conspicuous by the very lifestyles of the people who live within such urban sprawl. It is a decidedly different approach to existence than that of its urban counterpart, which establishes residency inside a significantly closed environment.
Suburbia represents freedom and an unencumbered feeling to the degree that people are able to spread out and have room to grow. Contrarily, metropolitan communities offer nothing like the outdoorsy appeal of living at the outskirts of town, a place where Americans can settle in and take stock of their inherent independence. The writer
discusses the American deal of suburbia. No sources cited.

The Contemporary Suburb / A Response to Fishman’s Technoburb
[ send me this paper ]
In his work Bourgeois Utopias: The Rise and Fall of Suburbia, Robert Fishman (1989) argued that the development of a new kind of city, the technoburb, was occurring that sharply contrasted the suburban development of the 1960s and 1970s. This 8 page paper argues that while the technoburb demonstrates some different elements from earlier suburban regions, it also retains many of the central characteristics of the old suburb.

lists 10 sources.

The Greek-American Community In Chicago
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The natural art of food peddling was the primary talent brought over by the Greeks in the mid to late 1800's. Their quest to find a better life and considerable prosperity drew them to Chicago, first
arriving as ship captains and then once settled polishing their peddling trade. The continued development of food-related commerce made it an easy transition into the
restaurant industry, for which the Greek community is famous. Indeed, one cannot speak of Greek Town without also mentioning the intrinsic connection to delicious food. The writer discusses how the Greek-Americans represent significantly more than just food, explaining how their customs, personal desires and political aspirations served as their ticket to the United States during a time when America symbolized the land of opportunity. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Urban Problems in Virginia Public Housing
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page paper discussing trends in public housing and their effects on urban problems. With the ongoing reductions in funds available through federal and state governments for use in providing low-income housing, cities increasingly are finding it necessary to turn to the private sector and nonprofit groups to aid in providing affordable housing. In the case of Richmond, the city was able to use public housing funds to upgrade decaying urban infrastructure while turning to private sources to provide actual housing in the area the city upgraded with the funds. The new creativity results in more units being made available for habitation while also contributing to a wider sense of community not possessed by those still adhering to the standard method of requiring full public funding. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Urbanization In The Late Nineteenth Century
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The urbanization of America during the latter part of the nineteenth century not only changed the nation's values, but it also created unforeseen problems with regard to the bustling growth of cities, the complications of new technologies and the reactions that people had to such significant transformation. Indeed, for a society to survive, it must be willing to grow. However, there comes a point when that growth turns into a detriment more than the asset it was originally intended to be -- such was the case with America's urbanization during the late nineteenth century. The writer discusses how urbanization changed America in the late nineteenth century. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
