What can land use planners and decision-makers in the United States learn from planning practices in the Netherlands?

A family, or even two, could be found living in one room, often alongside pigs and dogs, living without any form of sanitation. Adults and many children were lodging together in the same room and even shared the same bed, if they
VIRTUALISM IN ARCHITECTURE This subject was suggested as a possible topic from the course outline. As it is an area of much interest and controversy was chosen as the direction of study for the paper. Previous research into Virtual Reality (VR), coupled with a particular interest in its architectural application also proved motivating. However, although the direction of the initial research appeared straightforward, after further investigation it became obvious that there were in fact two distinctly

Bird proposed a five stage model to demonstrate how facilities in a typical port develop based on his research into the evolution of British ports which are setting, expansion and specialization. Setting is the initial setting of a port which is strongly dependent on geographical considerations. For example, the setting
Hello, I’m Chloe Hayden and today I’m going to be conveying to you the untold stories of Wales’ capital city, Cardiff and how its history and growth is unlike any other city in the world.
