In the class we mentioned 19 proposed strategies to the water crisis problem. Select a specific site (area, city, county, ..etc in the US or international) of your choice and describe it’s current water profile/problem, then identify top three strategies that can work effectively in the site that you identified. The suggested strategy will depend on many factors such as the level of education, the public’s reorientation, the type of resources, the availability of technology, the current state/quality of main water resource, the local governance…etc) Explain why did you choose these three strategies.

In one page explain what are the most two significant environmental factors influencing and shaping our cities and why do you consider them of more importance than the other? In your 2nd page, discuss, in your views, how to integrate nature in cities on the continuum below? What is your preference and why?
In the 1st page: In your view, what are the most two significant environmental factors influencing and shaping the built environment, and why do you consider them of more importance than the other? In your 2nd page: Discuss, in your views, how to integrate nature in cities on the continuum that we used in class. And if there is a way to balance the social and ecological benefits of the spatial arrangement of the exact same program

As in Timothy Doyle’s book and as we discussed in class, there are three categories of people’s movements: (i) Social Movement, (ii) New Social Movement, and (iii) Environmental Movement. As per the discussion in class and as per Manuel Castelle’s lecture give an example of each category summarizing briefly the main cause & characteristics of each of the examples you will discuss.
Timothy Doyle suggested a framework to unpack and understand different environmental movements. Select one environmental movement from any country in the world and explain its history, how did it start, the key players, what is it’s main cause and its impacts on making the needed change. Make sure you use the framework stating clear the nation, issue banner, and campaign.
Note: Do not select any of the 6 examples Timothy Doyle used in his book.
