The growth in population mainly took place in industrial cities, as a result of the drift from agriculture to industry following the Industrial Revolution. I don't think that architects had much to do with the cramped, poor-quality accommodation that was built in and around the cities of the 19th century to accommodate a large part of the industrial working population. I think the activity of architects was limited  to homes for the rich. Housing for the small, but increasing, middle class was mainly built according to fairly standard plans, rather than individually designed. Most housing was rented, rather than owned, and built down to a price for the landlords who were buying up land and developing it as fast as they could.

there are all types of houses in different states of India.\n\nthat's because the type of house depends on the financial condition of the owner/dweller.\n\ntherefore, poor people still live in huts/temporary dwellings, while the ones who can afford; live in cemented houses.\n\napart from that, you'll find the concept of flats/apartments in the major Metropolitan cities of India.

Yes it will\nAll new building sights need to have an enviromental impact study done.\nWouldn't it be so cool to be able to do the study as you are designing the structure.\nThat way you can design around the impacted areas and even design the structure to acent the enviorment that it is to be built in.\nIt will pay off.

Urban renewal or gentrification. \n\nPluses - cleaning up a decaying area, getting rid of drugs and gangs in crime-ridden "poor" neighborhoods.  Nicer neighborhoods closer to the city meaning shorter commutes and less traffic and pollution, bringing old houses that are crumbling new life or getting rid of eyesores that are used for crack houses and squatters and replacing them with nice new homes or condos with businesses on the ground floor.  Bigger Property tax base means that schools and community services get beefed up.\n\nMinuses - less diversity.  the breakdown of the community,  higher prices mean higher property taxes and that pushes out the familiys that can barely afford their mortgages and the rents go up so that those people have to move.\n\nUsually these people are the low income people who rely on social services and public transit, making their lives more difficult with the transition out of the neighbor hood.

Economy\nThe year 2006 is a very crucial in the life of the Obasanjo led PDP Federal Government. It is the only year in the life of the administration that any meaniful economic  work can be done if the president, will, in any way, as he has said again and again leave an economic legacy behind in his eight years of civil rule. As from the second  half of 2006, electioneering campaigns and intense politicking will take over the airwaves with  economic issues taking the back seat.\n\nAides to the president argues that the man is in a hurry to leave a lasting economic legacy behind. Already, the president and his team have rolled out the drums to  beat to the ears of all, that they have achieved a rare feet of $18billion debt relief for Nigeria. Beside that apparently critics of government argue that the  administrations dream of leaving behind, a lasting economic legacy is a far fetched dream to many Nigerians who are yet to see any serious thing to hold on to as what  has been achieved in the last six years of democratic rule.\n\nIt was the expectation of the government and the people that 2005 will open with serious business as the budget was billed for passage by December 2004. Bode  Augusto, the Director General in the budget office of the presidency had, way back as March 2004, started the process of budget articulation through consultation.  He had expressed optimism that by December the budget would have been passed by the National Assembly. But alas, the budget was delayed into the second  quarter of 2005. Already the 2006 budget has been sent to the National Assembly expectations are that it should be passed early enough to enable ministries and  parastatals to commence implementation. If the passage of the budget dragged as it was in some cases, the hope of a brighter prospect for the economy by 2006 will  once again be dashed.\n\nThe 2006 budget has a wider implication for the economy, the prospect of higher oil prices has led the Federal Government to benchmark the budget on an average  crude prices from $30 per barrel as was the case in 2005. While this looks good on the surface, the turn of events in the wee hours of 2005 may mean that part of the  budget may not be realised except if financed by savings from past excess crude revenue. Prices of crude have taken the downward trend in recent weeks.\nThe Chinese and India economies that have been on the driving seat of crude oil price hike are being slowed down by deliberate policies of these government. Also,  the situation in Iraq is getting better and oil supply in that region may become stable in 2006.\n\nAlso, the unprecedented damage that hurricane Katrina has done to US, and the improvement in the weather condition of the North, has further put hold on growth  prospect of the US and oil supplies . The continued turbulence in the Niger Delta has continued to pose a serious challenge to the ability of Nigeria to meet its OPEC  quota.\nYear 2006 is equally crucial for the finance sector. Banks are certainly going to find the year most challenging as the deadline for their recapitalisation draws to a close  today, 31st December, 2005. By 1st of January 2006, being the New Year Day,  25 or 24 banks out of the present 89 banks will commence operation with capital  base of N25billion. This is expected to impact positively on the real sector as interest rates are expected to drop lower. Many of the banks which had hoped to go it  alone have been forced to find a partner to merge with. Several of the banks that are yet to find a marriageable partners may have to be liquidated by the CBN .\nBy the early part of the year, activities in the money market may be low as many of the banks will focus on integration. The banking public may have for the period,  focus on few banks that have met the N25billion capitalisation target.\n\nIn 2006, the reforms being carried out in the CBN will begin to show. The apex bank is to focus on its core mandate of money supply, banker and fi

yes, and they will be rebuilding homes in New Orleans and other affected areas for years to come.\n\nmany people were put into temporary housing of one form or another, but as it was temporary,  many of these people are going to have to find other alternatives since it will take so long to recover the lost homes and businesses affected by Katrina.

The rural economy that supports most Nigerians is based on the productivity of the land, 33 percent of which is cultivated. Soil fertility varies considerably but is generally poor. The most fertile of the soils are the result of alluvial deposition in river valleys. Many, however, are overused and eroded. Trees, which help prevent erosion, are often used for fuel, lumber, material for tools, fodder for animals, and herbal medicines. As a result, the landscape is becoming increasingly barren of trees, especially in densely populated areas and near larger cities.\n\nPetroleum and natural gas, the source of most of Nigeria’s export earnings, are concentrated in large amounts in the Niger Delta and just offshore. Smaller deposits are scattered elsewhere in the coastal region. Iron ore, generally of low grade, is widespread. Lignite (brown coal) and subbituminous coal (coal of a lower grade than bituminous but of a higher grade than lignite) can be found in southeastern Nigeria. Other mineral resources include tin and columbite in the Jos Plateau, and limestone in several areas, particularly in the valleys of the Niger, Benue, and Sokoto rivers. The petroleum and natural gas industries—with their oil spills, burnoff of natural gas, and clearance of vegetation—have seriously damaged the land, vegetation, and waterways in the Niger Delta.
