10 Facts Every Urban Planner Should Know About Cities
A lot of knowledge has to go into the planning of a city. This is not just a collection of buildings but a living organism that can only thrive if it is well put together. Everything must be in its proper place and an urban planner should know where that place is. Here are 10 facts that every urban planner should know about cities.
Every City Is Different
There isn't one blueprint that can be followed to make every city a great one. Every city is unique and must be designed to meet the needs of the people who live there now and who will live there in the future. With every city an urban planner is asked to reinvent the wheel.
Cities Grow
A city is not a work of art that you create and then it's done. Cities grow and change and every urban planner should know that. This allows urban planners to create one version of a city that leaves the potential for an expanded version to be formed later on.
Every City Location Has Its Advantages
There are upsides to every city location. An urban planner can use these natural advantages to make any city the best it can be. These natural advantages can also help to set a city apart from the rest.
Every City Location Has Its Disadvantages
Every city location is bound to have some challenges. They are probably not insurmountable but they will be there. Every urban planner has to be aware of these disadvantages and to do their best to overcome them.
Cities Have Personalities
Cities themselves have personalities. Some cities are known for having a cold, distant feel before you speak to anyone there while others feel warm and welcoming even if you never speak to a single soul. Knowing this, you can craft the personality of a city to be what you would like it to be.
City Layouts Affect The Environment
City layouts can be conducive to different types of transportation such as in the form of cars, mass transportation, pedestrians, and bicycles. The ease of travel by each of these methods will help to decide how people get around a city and how much pollution they create while traveling.
City Layouts Help Determine What People Do
People do what a city gives them to do. Parks, museums, and whatever else is conveniently located are going to be more popular than attractions that are inaccessible or that are simply not there.
City Businesses Are Affected By Urban Planning
You just need to be aware of this. The specifics depend on a city and its businesses. If you want businesses to be successful ask yourself how urban planning can help.
Cities Need To Be Beautiful And Functional
Many urban planning foibles have happened because urban planners became too wrapped up in make a city beautiful or functional. Every city needs to be both.
Cities Are Living Things
Cities are living things. They grow, change, have personalities, and can thrive or wither. If something isn't working then you need to take action to restore a city to a robust state of health.

Psoriasis
As a teenager I always hated skin problems – pimples, rashes and so on. Most of all, I hate dandruff! But this scared me when I found out about psoriasis symptoms and that dandruff could be one symptom!
Well you see psoriasis isn’t just a joke because it’s a serious skin problem most people are suffering right now. It’s so itchy that it’s so annoying. Scratching it will just cause you to get blisters and more skin problems so it is best you consult your doctor now if you think it’s getting worse.
Do not disregard the itchy scalp and the flaking skins you’re experiencing if you have any of those, it could lead to a worse scenario or illness so I hope this post reaches out to you to let you know that you should not forget your health. And yes, even the little things can cause a lot of problems such as dandruff – worsening to psoriasis.
And if you want to help others, it won’t hurt by informing them about this, let them be aware the dangers there could be with this skin illness, what can they do and how they can avoid making it all worse. Remember, doing good to others will do good for you too.
I miss playing the guitar
When I was in first year high school, my uncle introduced me to guitar playing. I was so in loved with playing the guitar – I made my own songs, sang my favorite songs while playing the guitar and so on. But then my passion for it faded until eventually, I just quit.
Well, not really quit. But I haven’t used my guitar for already almost 2 to 3 years. I’ve been thinking maybe guitar lessons can refresh my mind on my lost passion for playing guitar.
Actually maybe one of these days I will buy a new small guitar. My old one is really huge, it’s acoustic but I can’t use its “acoustic-ness” anyway because the wires inside the guitar are broken or something. It’s an old model guitar but I kept it because my parents gave it me and of course – it was my very first guitar!
Will I have another? Well I don’t know. Maybe you can let me borrow? Hehe, anyways if I were you I’d go for those lessons so I’ll enjoy having a guitar and who knows maybe you’ll become a star with playing the guitar and singing just like a few famous ones we know of.

Seven Guilty Pleasures
Pop Music
Some fans are very vocal about their adoration of Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus. Others you find out by surprise when you accidentally overhear them humming in the bathroom or letting their hair down at karaoke.
Not Getting Dressed
It’s lovely not having to set the alarm, knowing you can spend the whole day in your pyjamas if you wish.
Rom Coms
Sometimes there’s nothing better than unwinding with a star-studded, chewing-gum-for-the-eyes, cheesy romantic comedy film that you noticed happened to be starting on TV when you were just about to pop in that black-and-white subtitled DVD you rented because you wanted to impress the cute sales assistant.
Chocolate
Although too much can be a bad thing, chocolate contains phenylethylamine, which gives rise to emotions similar to those associated with falling in love, and consumption also releases the chemical serotonin in the brain. If there are two of you, you’ll feel less guilty about indulging in Devil’s Food Cake or that sundae-to-share in the diner that you formerly ate alone. You can also both turn this guilty pleasure into a bona fide hobby by baking together.
Smells
The word ‘smell’ isn’t particularly pretty. But some actual smells are. There are those we can all agree on – freshly mown grass, baking (see above), roses. And then there are those that we may feel make us a teensy bit geeky, such as the smell of a new car, an old dusty book or a leather jacket.
Celebrity Gossip Mags
We don’t know why reading about other people’s lives is so interesting. It just is.
Computer Games
Some are addictive. Some are expensive. Some you’d be ashamed to admit you owned. Sometimes zapping aliens and collecting rings is so very much more important than going travelling, spending time with friends or working for that promotion. We would never say that out loud, but the high scores tell the truth.
These seven guilty pleasures can only be improved by one thing – sharing the experience with someone who feels the same way! Imagine dipping into chocolates while lounging around in your pyjamas, singing along to the pop soundtrack of your favourite rom com together. Perhaps you can meet that special someone through work, study, through a friend or through online dating, where it is easy to judge compatibility levels before you even meet. But if they don’t feel the same way about golf or cross-stitching as you do, don’t fret, because you still have the opportunity as a twosome to explore new interests together you were perhaps afraid to try out on your own before.
So there you have it – seven guilty pleasures. Like the seven deadly sins, but with more of an emphasis on treats than trouble!
Ah, I sleep late again.
1. Some of them were not linking back to me anymore.
2. Some of them are outdated, and it seems like they don't blog anymore
Sleep when you say so.

Patio Heaters!
So, I researched on what they could do when they’re outside. From a friend, I heard cold days outside the house makes them sick a lot – get colds and coughs which is really not nice. So I took a little break from my online errands and found out about it that you can always use Patio Heater to keep the heat and warmth.
It’s not available here in our country because we don’t have snow here, but I want others to know about it so if they need one, they know where to get it! Plus, they will be good outside during winters.
You can also have it in summers! I heard some people like using them during that time. This is a good find of useful things for different kinds of weather and what’s best is that you can buy it online, anytime.
You know how changing weathers make you feel – so if you need anything to keep yourself healthy, this is the way. Look for what you really need! Even a soup can help you with that.
I've never tried...
I don’t like partying, I don’t like drinking, and most of all I don’t like getting drunk. Not that I have anything about those who like going out. Drinking wine is good once in a while, especially if you’re stressed. My mom even mentioned once that particularly, red wine – is good for the heart, something like that.
You see- it’s also a good thing to have during celebrations, so definitely once in a while you drink wine. If you do why not get the best wine that your family will enjoy?
I’m not into drinking, but when I do I make it a point it’s unforgettable! Such as having a nice drink of wine with the people I love, with the finest wine, and with the best food of course. Haha, I don’t know yet if I plan to drink wine in the following six months. Probably not.
