  • A Global Perspective on Cities of the Future: Focus on China Created by Cholehna J
    A Global Perspective on Cities of the Future: Focus on China created by Cholehna J. Weaver 2015 Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Program Participant, China INTRODUCTION: Population growth is central to many of the environmental, social, and political issues we face today. One of the primary objectives of the Social Studies teacher is to educate students on the impact of human numbers and lifestyles on the surrounding world to ensure that we leave a sustainable future for generations to come. As students examine population changes and their effects on resources, population education is relevant and cross-curricular. China’s rapidly growing and urbanizing population provides a relevant and dynamic case to study in the classroom. As China and the United States have embarked on a joint commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the urgency and immediacy of the implementation of more sustainable measures is apparent. While much of the focus on carbon emissions is centered on big businesses and energy consumption, much of the human use of resources in the future will occur in densely populated regions and cities. The planning and construction of cities will determine the future of how individuals use natural resources and impact environmental quality within an urban context. This series of lessons presents the broad challenges associated with global urbanization, examines the existing challenges in China as it shifts to a majority urban population, and analyzes possible steps and plans to achieving a more sustainable urban environment as new cities are established in China and around the world. The lesson is broken into three sections beginning with an examination of population growth as it relates to urbanization, challenges associated with crowded cities, and an examination of new technologies being rolled out around the world aimed at producing a more sustainable city model.
