Summary

City Growth Factors explores the key drivers behind urban expansion, focusing on the interconnected roles of industrialization, education, and infrastructure. The book argues that these factors, while evolving over time, remain foundational to understanding why cities grow. For example, the promise of economic opportunity attracts individuals, while investments in education foster skilled workforces essential for sustained development. Infrastructure, encompassing transportation and digital connectivity, facilitates efficient urban functioning. The book adopts a data-driven approach, using case studies and quantitative analysis to examine how cities have experienced rapid growth. It delves into topics like the transformation of rural areas and the impact of industrial policy. By integrating insights from economic geography, urban sociology, and public policy, the book offers a holistic view of city growth. Structured around a logical progression, the book introduces concepts like agglomeration economies before delving into case studies. It culminates by emphasizing the need for integrated urban planning strategies that address the interplay of these growth factors, offering practical applications for policymakers and urban planners. This comprehensive exploration aims to inform strategies for inclusive economic development and improved quality of life in our increasingly urban world.

    Renowned social justice advocate john a. powell persuasively argues that we have not achieved a post-racial society and that there is much work to do to redeem the American promise of inclusive democracy. Culled from a decade of writing about social justice and spirituality, these meditations on race, identity, and social policy provide an outline for laying claim to our shared humanity and a way toward healing ourselves and securing our future. Racing to Justice challenges us to replace attitudes and institutions that promote and perpetuate social suffering with those that foster relationships and a way of being that transcends disconnection and separation.

    Even though emotional intelligence lacks the volume of quantitative empirical cognitive research that IQ has, the research in the field of cognitive learning has suggested that emotional intelligence is a key fundamental aspect of education. According to a report published by the National Center for Clinical Infant Programs, the level of success that a student has learned new material boils down to their levels of confidence, self-control, curiosity, their ability to communicate, their cooperativeness, their relatedness, and their intentionality. All these traits are aspects of emotional intelligence. More recently, social scientists are beginning to uncover the relationship of emotional intelligence to other organizational psychologies, such as leadership, group performance, individual performance, interpersonal exchange, performance evaluations, and change management. Humans are social beings, and as such, our level of success when dealing with people is intimately linked with our level of emotional intelligence.

    Ann Arbor has seen many cherished landmarks and institutions come and go - some fondly remembered and others lost to time.When the city was little more than a village in the wilderness, its first school stood on the now busy corner of Main and Ann. Stores like Bach & Abel's and Dean & Co. served local needs as the village grew into a small town. As the town became a thriving city, Drake's and Maude's fed generations of hungry diners, and Fiegel's clothed father and son alike. Residents passed their time seeing movies at the Majestic or watching parades go down Main Street. Join authors Patti F. Smith and Britain Woodman on a tour of the city's past.
