In chapter 15 Tom Rough shared two ways in which urban growth derive deforestation. In conjunction with Barbara Torrey’s paper, describe these two drivers and, as expert in the field, how would you advise or suggests reforms to reduce this deforestation process. Also add few lines on urbanization factors that were not mentioned in the text. (in one page). In your 2^nd page, and based on Roger Keil’s research about global cities network and the research presented in class by Ronal Wall, identify the top one or two social and/or economic factors in the city that you believe highly influence, shape and derive the spatiality and inter-urban network.

Urbanization is a trend that will continue to occur as an ongoing process. The urban rural continuum is a complex one that has the city at one end and the country on the other. According to discussion in class different settlements can be placed on any point on this continuum; and the factors that dictate where the settlement may fall on this urban/rural continuum do change form a place to another and a settlement to another. In the case of Chicago, and according to Cronon, describe in one page the factors that contributed to its transformation on the urban-rural continuum. These can be: locational, social, economical, infrastructure, transportation, and many more. You may upload photos or diagrams to illustrate your ideas.

In your 2^nd page, and based on the Robert Mugerauer chapter, focusing on the city only, elaborate how tourism influence the development of the city and if it actually contributes to further urbanization within the same city.
