that the only way to achieve the sustainable population is by controlling population so that overpopulation does not occur. However, some cities and regions like Curitiba with the green exchange, expansion limits, green spaces etc. and London with the congestion charge have been able to achieve environmental sustainability without controlling the population, but by adding rules and regulations that let the city run efficiently and cleanly, and therefore in turn, run sustainably. Population control is

California might be the greenest, it is pushing new housing to less temperate climates such as Houston and Dallas, thus dramatically increasing carbon footprint (p. 212). The fifth section compares and contrasts the two opposing visions of environmentalism: Livingstone 's “big-city modernism” and Prince Charles 's “agrarian utopianism” (p. 215). After evaluating the contrasting visions, Glaeser supports the urban dense living. The sixth section highlights the challenge of sustainable urban development
REFLECTION ON INTEGRATION OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT THROUGH HEALTH IMPACT ASSESSMENT: CASES FROM THREE CONTINENTS, GOVERNING TRANSITIONS IN THE SUSTAINABILITY OF EVERYDAY LIFE, AND CITIES AND THE MULTILEVEL GOVERNANCE OF GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE Introduction Environmental issues expand into a global level, and it is not likely tackled by the country itself. A raising awareness on the environmental matter among nations, the cooperation between nations is essential. In the three articles, they have adopted
people use them for the school run due to the safety aspect of the cars, many just like to show off their wealth and have the "big car". The problem occurs when many people drive these vehicles around town and in the inner cities, as they cause congestion and produce more carbon dioxide than other cars. Many people believe that in these circumstances the "Chelsea tractor" should be taxed more than other vehicles due to their size and emissions factor. Many people agree but some do not see why they
vehicles on the road. Traffic accidents account for one of the major reasons that the current techniques of traffic control need revision. Traffic jams, along with broken cars and the lack of alternate routes, account for one half of the traffic congestion in the United States (Clark 387-404). Although the number of traffic accidents in the United States has slowly decreased over the past several years, it is still alarmingly high. In 1990, approximately 7 deaths occurred for every 10,000 people
Along with many established universities, University College London (UCL hereafter) is located in the centre of a busy city. This prime location brings many advantages for its student population, such as easy access to a range of facilities and the latest research, in addition to encouraging greater participation in the vibrant local culture. At the same time, the university’s central location denies it the possibility of expansion to cater for ever-increasing numbers of students, and the local environment

produced during construction. During the building process, noise from piling, concrete mixing and other machines can be as high as 90 dB⑴, which may disturb neighboring residents and induce various health effects such as sleep disturbance. Being in charge of construction process, civil engineers have to reduce the noise nuisance on neighbors, which is bided with the law in Hong Kong. According to the Noise Control Ordinance, construction works using powered mechanical equipment cannot be undergone
of living: on farms and sparsely placed homesteads. Industrial production required hundreds of thousands of workers and, especially in the second industrial revolution, scientists. The urban centers that emerged during this period, such as Paris, London, and Berlin, were quickly changing the ratios of population from rural to urban Berlin's population, for example, went from 66% rural in 1871 to almost 66% urban before the first World War (see "The Second Industrial Revolution"). With the influx
