    Femingdon Park Demographic Analysis

    Flemingdon Park is located in the North York region of Toronto. It is home to approximately 22,000 residents mainly from foreign places. This collective population accounts for approximately 0.8% of Toronto’s total population. This paper will thoroughly cover the diverse demographics of Toronto’s “Apartment City.” The conclusions will be drawn through strategically chosen features of the community’s demographics in relation to planning principles. Aspects that will be touched upon will include; age, gender, ethnicity/immigration and income in reference to dwelling types. By exploring such facets of the community, one will be able to depict the demographics of Flemingdon Park, thus the planning ideals as well. Furthermore, these numbers will then allow us to make a comparison between the City of Toronto as a whole and Flemingdon as a region. Careful analysis and interpretation of these sets of data will lead to a further understanding of Flemingdon and its social and developmental components. This information will give insight into the methodology and reasoning behind specific planning decisions. We will begin this study by examining the age groups within the neighbourhood, and then strategically progress and conclude with more specific findings with reference from Statistics Canada.…

    Chesapeake Bay Research Paper

    The Eastern Shore of Maryland is one of the most beautiful places, not only on the East Coast, but in the United States. Given this fact, which most of the locals are painfully aware of, it only makes that the Eastern Shore receives thousands of visitors throughout the year every year. One must wonder however, what exactly it is that brings all of these people to The Shore? First of all, it is a beautiful place to visit; between the views of the water, the wildlife, the historic towns, and the history scattered across each of the unique towns. This makes the Eastern Shore a prime location for low key vacations, as well as destination weddings. Another equally predominant factor to the amount of tourists which come to The Shore is the “local grub.” Everyone who visits The Shore wants to eat Maryland Blue Crabs, oysters, and rockfish. So, how is it that the Chesapeake Bay’s watershed directly impacts the number of tourists who visit The Shore in a…

    Stanley Park Project

    The City of Kelsey’s founder, M. Kelsey’s vision was to “preserve the natural resources of the land and maintain a close-knit community” (Apollo Group, 2011). The elected and appointed officials who have followed consistently meet the needs of the community by continuing to build upon foundation that the city was built – self-sufficiency and a strong sense of community (Apollo Group, 2011). The city has seen a significant increase in population over the past few years and expects this trend to continue into the foreseeable future. As the City of Kelsey grows, businesses and industries will also continue to progress and particular care must be taken to preserve the natural resources and the tradition of the city while balancing between the city’s overall growth and preservation needs (Apollo Group, 2011). The city government sees the immediate need in parks and recreation. Over the past two years, the city has invested millions of dollars in the Parks and Recreation Department in continuous improvements. The Stanley Park Project will offer state of the art park and recreation amenities that will meet the needs of all residents; from parents walking through the park with infants in strollers, teenagers skateboarding on the skate ramp, senior citizens learning computer skills in the computer learning center, to dogs using the enclosed dog park. This innovative state of the art multipurpose-multifunctional park with recreation facilities enforces what the City of Kelsey offers, “Amenities of the big city without sacrificing the small town charm” (Apollo Group Inc., 2011).…

    searching for sugar man

    Searching for Sugarman is a carefully constructed documentary by director Malik Bendjelloul, which recounts the search for a supposedly dead folk-rock performer from the 1970’s known as Rodriguez. In an attempt to create intrigue and a sympathetic feeling towards the artist the director manipulates the delivery of information to the audience. For much of the documentary several versions the idea that Rodriguez met a horrific death during a public performance, was key to creating the image of an enigmatic artist. Key musical and visual backdrops were employed to stories of a lone drifter whose poetry was equated with prophetic insight by one of the films narrators. Further clever manipulation by Bendjelloul invites the audience to rejoice when the artist is ‘amazingly’ discovered to be alive in Detroit and his career is seemingly resurrected. The clever use of plot, setting contrasts between the cities of Detroit and Cape Town, and the notion that Rodriguez was the lost poet for the apartheid generation work to manipulate audience sympathy. The following will explore this argument in further detail.…
