[QUOTE=Sana Rasool;915182]Anybody drew sketches, diagrams or flowcharts?[/QUOTE]
I did it for a couple of questions. |
I drew Urbanization flow chart, growth rate diagram in question number 2:
Urbanization: According to Mitchell urbanization is a process of becoming urban, moving to cities, changing from agriculture to other pursuits common to cities. More than 50% of the world population now lives in cities & that figure is set to rise to 75% by 2050. High urbanization in the world is in both Asia & Africa. Population living in urban areas: Source: UN, World Urbanization Prospects: 2003 Revision (2004) Also UNPD (Population Division) & WB depicted it: ----------29 (1950) ----------------37 (1975) ---------------------47 (2000) -------------------------61 (2030) 50% people of the world are living in urban areas 750million people are living $2 per day & 290million on $1 per day (Report: WB 2013) Deteriorating condition due to urbanization with respect to socioeconomic aspects & population. Though, urbanization is engine for economic growth S.Asia, due to urbanization, confrontation of socioeconomic problems in today's world. In question 3, I drew diagram of CBD/Ring, Axial & Nuclei theories along with a hierarchy settlements. In addition to that, I drew tree zoning chart of agro-industrial sector, commercial, socio-economic zoning and incorporated some statistics of USA, Canada & Australia models along with India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. I could not drew any diagram flow chart in rest of the questions due to short of time. To me it was an average attempt, could not make it what I used to project it to attempt. |
