  Worn Out - How Our Clothes Cover...

  Worn Out examines the underside of our historic clothing binge and the fashion industry's fall from grace. Former InStyle senior news editor and seasoned journalist Alyssa Hardy's riveting work explores the lives of the millions of garment workers—mostly women of color—who toil in the fashion industry around the world—from LA-based sweatshop employees who experience sexual abuse while stitching clothes for H&M, Fashion Nova, and Levi's to "homeworkers" in Indonesia who are unknowingly given carcinogenic materials to work with. Worn Out exposes the complicity of celebrities whose endorsements obscure the exploitation behind marquee brands and also includes interviews with designers such as Mara Hoffman, whose business models are based on ethical production standards. 
   
   
   
  Like many of us, Hardy believes in the personal, political, and cultural place fashion has in our lives, from seed to sew to closet, and that it is still okay to indulge in its glitz and glamour. But the time has come, she argues, to force real change on an industry that prefers to keep its dark side behind the runway curtain. The perfect book for people who are passionate about clothing and style, Worn Out seeks to engage in a real conversation about who gets harmed by fast fashion—and offers meaningful solutions for change.

  Urban Land Use - Patterns...

  Urban land use plays a crucial role in shaping the physical, economic, and social landscapes of modern society. As cities continue to grow, the way land is utilized within urban areas directly impacts the quality of life for residents, the sustainability of the environment, and the functionality of the economy. Understanding urban land use is not only a matter of interest for urban planners and policymakers but also a concern for all individuals who live and work in urban spaces. 
  The development and organization of land use in cities reflect broader societal priorities and challenges. Housing, transportation, commerce, recreation, and green spaces must coexist within a finite area, often leading to complex decisions about how to allocate resources. A well-planned urban area ensures accessibility, connectivity, and economic opportunities, while poorly planned spaces may result in congestion, social inequality, and environmental degradation. 
  Urban land use is also at the center of many contemporary challenges, including population growth, climate change, and the need for sustainable development. As cities expand, urban sprawl often consumes valuable agricultural land and disrupts ecosystems. Compact, efficient urban designs that incorporate green infrastructure, mixed-use developments, and public transit systems are essential to mitigate the environmental impacts of urbanization. By prioritizing these elements, cities can address pressing issues such as air quality, carbon emissions, and biodiversity loss.
