Making a Model of a City We went to North Yorkshire to a town called Malton (Malton has a total population of 10,000 people, but the town is split in to two. Malton population of 4,000 and Norton population of 6,000) to look at the town and to compare it to two models (burges,hoyts) We tried to think if Malton would look like either of them. We thought it would look more like Hoyt as there is a river going through Malton - well actually by Malton in-between Malton and Norton. We are also going to count the people and cars in certain areas of the town. Plus go around town seeing which areas are residential or manufacturing and so on. We also did a survey at certain points in the town seeing what type of buildings there were, how clean it was, how noisy, how populated. So many people doing this survey over a wide area would get the right amount of data needed for our model of Malton, know where the main traffic flow is and what is the main indicators for the C.B.D. Aims The aims of this project are to make a model of Malton and measure the traffic and pedestrian flow. Earlier we studied two models which were Burgess which and Hoyt so we would know what we were making. We had to decide which of the models we thought Malton looked like. Our first hypotheses was that Malton would look like Hoyt as Malton has a river running through the middle of it so the industry would be along its banks as it can be used for transport, cooling dumping. The second hypotheses is that the traffic would be heavier in the C.B.D as there are more shops, smaller roads and more people want to be there. Over all we were lucky as the day was perfect for our survey. It was not too hot or warm so people would come in to town and it was not cold so people stayed away.
On Monday 5th of July we went and conducted a survey of the river Alyn

This essay focuses upon evidence gathered from people who provide good examples of ‘making and remaking’ on City Road in relation to connections and disconnections. Evaluations are drawn from the relevant Open University reading and visual resources and the essay is revised following ‘TMA 01 feedback’ (TMA FORM PT3e: TMA No 01, 2016).

My group’s aggregate is in East Side Community of Buffalo, NY. For this assignment, a windshield survey of East Side Community was completed. The windshield survey is an assessment of the community through my personal observations. This survey will include an assessment of four categories. These consist of the physical aspects, economical standings, services provided, and social aspects of the community. In addition to the windshield survey, local census data was collected. Below are east side community’s results and local census data findings.

Florida has five point two percent of Americas' population, and just two point eight percent of the nations' roads. Population rose over forty percent in the eighties while the number of vehicles increased fifty percent. This means, roads have about twice the amount of traffic necessary. To maintain and keep up with population growth, twenty-four thousand five hundred ninety-eight additional miles would need to be added by the year 2000. The Department of Transportation has said it is highly unlikely due to the minimum amount of funds.
American artist Squire J. Vickers painted Cityscape with Sun in 1927. The painting is done in oil on burlap. Cityscape with Sun was painted in a cubist style- a painting style that emphasizes the use of geometric shapes. This work is a representational painting of a cityscape. In this artwork, Squire J. Vickers uses organic and geometric lines. He used organic lines to represent the sun in the painting, and geometric lines to represent the buildings. The bright yellow sun is used as a focal point in the work that eventually draws the eye outward to the surrounding city. Further, because it is painted on burlap Cityscape with Sun has a unique surface texture. The bright colors in the work evoke interest in viewers. Painted in 1927, Vickers was

With all of the designing that was happening in the company, it helped to shrink its profits. Lego City was a popular toy for children but the redesigning shrank the sales and attention the product was once getting. A worker of Lego said it well when he said, “Management was to blame, the same people who were doing crappy products then are making world-class products today” (Greene). Essentially the managers and higher up executives didn’t communication what direction the company should be going. They didn’t have a strategy to follow and tell their employees. With no clear strategy and communication in place, things were a free for all. This lead to the declining profits and stability of the company. Lego assumed that if the designers were able to create whatever they saw fit, that somehow it would lead to a breakthrough in the toy maker’s product line. However, this ideology backfired with high production costs and low profit margins.

Quantitative methods in the social sciences are an effective tool for understanding patterns and variation in social data. They are the systematic, numeric collection and objective analysis of data that can be generalized to a larger population and seek to find cause in variance (Matthews and Ross 2010, p.141; Henn et al. 2009, p.134). These methods are often debated, but quantitative measurement is important to the social sciences because of the numeric evidence that can be used to drive more in depth qualitative research and to focus regional policy, to name a few (Johnston et al. 2014). Basic quantitative methods, such as descriptive and inferential statistics, are used regularly to identify and explain large social trends that can then
OTA stated that based on current trends in population and travel … the number of vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) nationwide is projected to increase by 2 to 3 percent per year from now through 2005, resulting in a cumulative increase of about 40 to 60 percent. Obviously, VMT growth could have a major impact on traffic flow in urban areas, as well as on air pollution (84).
