Urban Planning Question

You are expected to use as many readings as possible to support your answers. Do not use reading materials that were not assigned in the class. There are THREE POSSIBLE questions – CHOOSE TWO OF THE THREE TO ANSWER.

Answers should be approximately ¾ to 1 page for each question (double space, 12-point font and 1-inch margins) and include a separate bibliography. The answers cannot exceed two pages (this does not include the bibliography). Citations and referencing should use standard formats (e.g. MLA or APA).

NOTE:

Write clearly and concisely
Do not include extraneous information
Answer given the information (readings/lectures/videos) from the course only
Key terms/phrases in your answer should be in bold

QUESTION 1:
Newly established pastoral capitalist landscapes were marketed not only as desirable because of the impact such a setting would have on the workforce, but also coincided with the suburban movement that was occurring more generally in the Post WWII years. In these wide-open, new green spaces, American corporations found cheaper rents, bucolic surroundings, and increasingly, a widely accessible suburban workforce.

Refer to Mozingo’s discussion of pastoral capitalism, and any other discussions from the article on Pereira and UC Irvine, and compare the campus of UC Irvine to design preferences occurring elsewhere around the country and in California. How did the design of UC Irvine reflect growing suburban sentiments and land use ideals? Refer to specific campus design features in your answer.

QUESTION 2:
Describe the Federal Policies that contributed to the expansion of suburban cities throughout the country, including Los Angeles?

Describe Fordism’s impact on housing. And, what are the early industries that Soja and Scott refer to when discussing the economic development of Los Angeles prior to WWII?

QUESTION 3:
Describe the conditions of cities in the U.S. in the Industrial era. In what ways did city leaders and early planning initiatives attempt to improve the conditions of cities approaching the twentieth century. What role did parks play in New York and Milwaukee in this era? (hint: parks are one of the key initiatives aimed at alleviating the crowded conditions found in cities at this time)

EDTD 6381 Module 5 – Annotated Bibliography

Purpose: An annotated bibliography is an organizing tool that is helpful when working on a research project. An effective annotated bibliography is used to compile research sources in one location and provide the researcher with quick access to the information contained in each source.

Audience: This assignment should be directed at your scholarly peers, and you may assume that they have only a casual familiarity with your topic or issue.

Content/Subject: Your annotated bibliography will consist of the sources that you have deemed relevant to your topic and/or question(s) of inquiry. While you may encounter sources that are not relevant or do not fit the scope of your project while researching, for the purposes of this assignment, you will only include the ones that you find useful and relevant.

Constraints: The annotated bibliography is a fairly rigid genre. Your citations must adhere to APA 7th Edition format. This will be one of the central components of the grade for this assignment. Failure to follow APA 7th Edition format will harm your grade significantly. There are documents embedded in this module to assist you with the format. You may also seek guidance from a reference librarian.

The annotations for each source should follow an APA academic style. This means that you must construct, with elevated and sophisticated language, correct grammatical sentences that effectively summarize what each source has to say. Additionally, you should explain how each source is relevant to the issue that you have selected and what it adds to your knowledge about your issue.

  1. Choose one of the articles found in the “Module 5 Article Options” tab that interests you. Read the article. Both of the articles are related to curriculum, 21st century skills, and assessment
  2. Locate 4 more sources/articles that are about the same topic via online (Galileo/Reese Library = https://www.augusta.edu/library/reese/) search or references found within the article you initially chose. Read the new articles.
  3. In a word document, use APA format to create a reference citation for each article, including the one you chose from my list of options. Write a brief summary of each article in your own words. (1 paragraph 3-5 sentences each *per article). Do NOT copy/paste a citation from Google. Type it yourself in the correct format.
  4. Answer the following questions about your articles as a whole. (4 paragraphs total that encompass your thoughts on all articles chosen for the assignment. Do not answer these questions for each article individually)
  • Why is this topic important at this particular point in time?
  • Where should we (researchers/educators) go from here in terms of addressing this topic?
  • What has to happen for there to be agreement on this topic?
  • What do these articles add to your understanding of the topic and the debate on the topic?
