Part 1.
Identify an ecosystem of importance, the challenges it faces and suggest measures to protect it.
Part 2.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the Department of City Planning sites for New York (http://www1.nyc.gov/site/planning/index.page ) and Los Angeles (http://cityplanning.lacity.org/ ),
Imagine you are an urban planner. Choose three urban-growth issues to research and resolve in regard to sustaining an urban environment.
Consider the differences you might face when addressing these three issues in a developed nation compared to addressing them in a less-developed nation.
Reflect on which of these three issues is most important, and rank them first, second, and third in a city in a developed nation. How might your ranking choices change for a city in a less-developed nation?
With these thoughts in mind:
Write about the three issues you identified as associated with urban growth, and the priority you assigned each one. Explain the reasons for your prioritization and how you would resolve these issues in a developed nation and in a less-developed nation.
