Urban Sprawl In Metropolitan Detroit
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. The land developers and the environmentalist have yet to meet eye-to-eye on the issue of urban sprawl in metropolitan Detroit and likely never will. According to those who believe that environmentally sustainable cities are a workable solution, the concept will incorporate enough protective aspects to make it a worthwhile proposition. From the environmentalist point of view, however, as long as people continue to spread out into the land and development continues, there is absolutely no way the notion can hold up to its claims of wildlife protection and sustainability.

Urban Sprawl, Good or Bad?
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that investigates readings both pro and con concerning urban sprawl. Over the past several years, a prominent political movement has developed in the US whose stated purpose is to limit--or even prohibit--the processes of behind suburban growth (Cox and Utt, 2004). This "anti-sprawl" movement has been frequently successful in restricting land-use policies, deriving its justification from the idea that low-density urban development (sprawl) is more costly, both monetarily and environmentally, than the dense development typical of central cities (Cox and Utt, 2004). This examination of this movement looks at viewpoints, both pro and con, before drawing a conclusion as to the validity of either side. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Wood Construction for the Fire Service
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing considerations of wood construction for the fire service. Fire service and assessment regarding the fire safety of any structure is considered a key component to establishing appropriate fire regulations. The many factors which are considered include fire hazards within the buildings, the number of people inhabiting the buildings at any given time, means of fire escape, fire containment, emergency facilities, alarm systems and the fire equipment available within any region (Wong, 2003). A main component in regards to fire hazard assessment of a structure is the type of construction materials used and the type of construction. One of the most common materials used in the construction of almost any structure is wood, a highly combustible material. Despite the combustibility of wood however, it can be positively used in construction when properly treated and properly applied with consideration of the fire hazards present within the building and in the environment.
