Curriculumdevelopment in urban geography at the high-school level is alsobriefly described. The first of six articles, "Aspects and Trends ofUrban Geography," explains the urban geographer's interestin iuter:Ial city structure, interaction of static functions within thecity as well as changing patterns over time, and use of mathematical modelsof urban characteristics. The second article, "Historical and Comparative Urban Studies," defines cities as centers of exchangeand traces urbanization historically and geographically. The elements of Christaller's central place theory are explained in thethird paper, which includes definitions of cercral place, centralgoods and services, and the range or complementary region of a good."Public Policy and the Centra] Business District" (CBD), thefourth article, compares the CHD's assets and deficitsand explores the need for public policy when growth in outlying areas is sapping itsstrenyth. The last two articles discuss the urban unit of theHigh School Geography Project and the need for nrban geography in U.S.high schools.

  • Urban Chaos and Replacement Dynamics in Nature and Society
    Urban chaos and replacement dynamics in nature and society Yanguang Chen (Department of Geography, College of Urban and Environmental Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871, P.R.China. E-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: Many growing phenomena in both nature and society can be predicted with sigmoid function. The growth curve of the level of urbanization is a typical S-shaped one, and can be described by using logistic function. The logistic model implies a replacement process, and the logistic substitution suggests non-linear dynamical behaviors such as bifurcation and chaos. Using mathematical transform and numerical computation, we can demonstrate that the 1-dimensional map comes from a 2-dimensional two-group interaction map. By analogy with urbanization, a general theory of replacement dynamics is presented in this paper, and the replacement process can be simulated with the 2-dimansional map. If the rate of replacement is too high, periodic oscillations and chaos will arise, and the system maybe breaks down. The replacement theory can be used to interpret various complex interaction and conversion in physical and human systems. The replacement dynamics provides a new way of looking at Volterra-Lotka’s predator-prey interaction, man-land relation, and dynastic changes resulting from peasant uprising, and so on. Key words: bifurcation; chaos; fractal dimension; logistical map; replacement dynamics; Volterra-Lotka’s model; urbanization 1 Introduction Logistic function typically reflects a kind of replacement in nature and society, and can be used as one of the substitution models. In early literature, the law of logistic substitution was mainly researched in economics, especially in industrial and technological studies.

ISBN 978-0-321-73643-7 Course Description Over 50 percent of the world’s 7 billion people lives in urban areas and more than 80 percent of the U.S. population is classified as urban by the U.S. census definition. Urban geography is an important sub-discipline of human geography characterized as the scientific study of geographic patterns of urban landscape at different scales. This introductory level course discusses the spatial aspects of cities and metropolitan areas in the U.S. and worldwide. Lecture materials are from the course textbook and from handouts or documents posted on Blackboard. Important concepts and theories presented in this course: Urbanization in the U.S. Concept of urban areas Urban housing and neighborhoods Urban land use and internal structure Urban poverty and crime Urban economic activities Inner city decline and suburban sprawl Metropolitan governance and planning Racial and residential segregation Urban geography of European cities Course Objectives This course has two objectives: first is to introduce students the basic concepts and theories about the geography of urban landscape and second is to teach students hands-on practical skills and expertise such as data analysis and mapping skills that are useful for solving real world problems.

  • Coag/2020/12 E
    July 2020 COAG/2020/12 E COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE Twenty-seventh Session 28 September - 2 October 2020 Agricultural Transformation and the Urban Food Agenda Executive Summary Today, 55 percent of the world’s population resides in urban areas and 85 percent live in or within 3 hours of an urban center of at least 50 000 people. By 2050, the urban population is expected to rise to 68 percent, and over 90 percent of this increase will occur in the urban areas of low-income countries. By 2035, the category that will have the largest share of population will still be towns of less than 300 thousand inhabitants, with a total of 2.08 billion people or 37 percent of total urban population in the world. At the same time, close to 75 percent and 85 percent of rural people or between 2.5 billion and 2.8 billion people will live near urban areas. Therefore, the rural-small city continuum/interface will account for around 4.9 billion people, or 57 percent of the world’s total population with a large part of them being poor and food insecure. Development of sustainable food systems in those “functional territories” holds the potential for sustainably reducing poverty and food insecurity. This paper proposes to assess this new rural-urban reality and the role of small and medium size cities in shaping agriculture and food systems from a “functional territories” perspective. It also introduces FAO’s Framework for the Urban Food Agenda as an entry point for FAO to support and scale-up policy, planning, governance and food system actions in those functional territories.
