Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the advantage in population growth rates has shifted from metropolitan to nonmetropolitan areas during the 1970's, the nonmetropolitan population itself has undergone a marked population deconcentration. Data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census' 1975 Revenue Sharing Estimates of incorporated places show that the population of nonmetropolitan towns grew only 3.3 percent from 1970 to 1975 - less than the average population growth for the nation. The nonmetropolitan population outside of incorporated places of 2,500 and over grew by 9.0 percent--almost twice the national average. Not only is the population outside of incorporated places growing faster than the population inside incorporated places in both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas of each region, but there is also an inverse relationship between the size of incorporated places and population growth. Perhaps the concentration of population around transportation nodes in both large and small towns which was necessary when transportation and communication systems were less extensive and less technologically advanced is no longer needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Doctor Samantha Turner serves as the medical examiner for the city of Sheridan, Wyoming, and it seems that she's getting a bit too much work lately. After all, the M.E.'s job isn't full time and Sam does have other things to do. Unfortunately, one of them is dealing with Derek Turner, her late husband's son, a man who claims to be a foreign correspondent and who makes it clear that Sam is "my father's second wife, not my stepmother."" "Someone in Washington wants information about Sam's latest corpse, a woman who had been part of the Witness Protection Program, and they figure Derek can get what's needed from Sam without any trouble. Which just goes to show you that it doesn't pay to underestimate her." "After all, even though the police refuse to see a pattern in the murders that are occurring on the holidays, Sam knows better. She even knows which one is a copycat killing. The only one who will listen is Derek, and he has his own agenda. That leaves the doctor with one move - and if things don't play out just right, that move is a sacrifice."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Crabgrass Frontier written by Kenneth T. Jackson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1987-04-16 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first full-scale history of the development of the American suburb examines how "the good life" in America came to be equated with the a home of one's own surrounded by a grassy yard and located far from the urban workplace. Integrating social history with economic and architectural analysis, and taking into account such factors as the availability of cheap land, inexpensive building methods, and rapid transportation, Kenneth Jackson chronicles the phenomenal growth of the American suburb from the middle of the 19th century to the present day. He treats communities in every section of the U.S. and compares American residential patterns with those of Japan and Europe. In conclusion, Jackson offers a controversial prediction: that the future of residential deconcentration will be very different from its past in both the U.S. and Europe.

Book excerpt: The report presents findings from the 2018 revision of World Urbanization Prospects, which contains the latest estimates of the urban and rural populations or areas from 1950 to 2018 and projections to 2050, as well as estimates of population size from 1950 to 2018 and projections to 2030 for all urban agglomerations with 300,000 inhabitants or more in 2018. The world urban population is at an all-time high, and the share of urban dwellers, is projected to represent two thirds of the global population in 2050. Continued urbanization will bring new opportunities and challenges for sustainable development.

Download or read book Coping With Rapid Growth In Rural Communities written by Bruce A. Weber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book integrates the most current research findings on the economic, demographic, fiscal, and social consequences of rapid growth in rural communities and offers strategies that can be used to mitigate the often disruptive impact of that growth. While working extensively with government officials and citizens in rural communities, Drs. Weber and Howell became aware of the need for a compilation and synthesis of the research on rural growth; they subsequently invited scholars working in selected topic areas to contribute to that effort. The resulting papers were refined during a meeting sponsored by the Western Rural Development Center, edited, and brought together in this volume. Incorporating 1980 census data, the book outlines the spectrum of changes associated with rapid growth in rural areas, presents specific options for managing rapid growth, and suggests a model that communities can use for impact assessment and for monitoring the effectiveness of various management strategies.

Download or read book Decentralization of Education written by Ketleen Florestal and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In practice, most education systems have both centralized and decentralized elements. Planners involved in a decentralizing reform must identify which components of the system are more appropriately managed at the central level and which at the local level. This book is intended to inform education policymakers, planners, and practitioners about international experience in the legal aspects of decentralizing basic education. It also provides a basic understanding of how laws and regulations can be used for education reform. For purposes of the discussion, decentralization is used to describe efforts to transfer decision making power in basic education from the administrative center of a country to authorities closer to users. The term is also used in a more technical sense to describe one of the many forms this type of reform can take, and in this sense it is contrasted with deconcentration and devolution as educational reforms. The first section examines the general legal aspects of decentralization, and the second looks more closely at decentralization laws and regulations. The third section is, in effect, a checklist of items that should be included in decentralization laws, and the fourth section provides a road map to help the planner prepare and implement the laws required for reform. Although an effort has been made to keep the discussion general enough for use in many countries, the analysis is based on the legal systems of the Western world or those that they inspired.

Download or read book Deconcentration and Decentralization Reforms in Cambodia written by Tariq H. Niazi and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes strategic and programming issues arising from the emerging deconcentration and decentralization reforms in Cambodia and informs the debate on the pace and strategic direction of these reforms. The study looks at the evolving legal and regulatory framework pointing to the gaps and inconsistencies that need to be addressed for a coherent framework over time. The study elaborates on the large cast of complex, and sometimes competing, institutions and the challenges of setting up an equitable and transparent intergovernmental financing system. Evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the government's 10-year national program, the study suggests some critical steps for successful implementation of the reforms, including the need to develop a clear reform policy framework, obtain better coordination among government agencies and between the government and development partners, clarify uncertainties in the assignment of functions between tiers of government, design a robust system on intergovernmental financing, and develop capacities to implement the reforms. The study also suggests some important considerations for ADB programming, including how to best support the deconcentration and decentralization reforms at the central, subnational, and sector levels.
