Create a good city environment is an eternal theme of human development. The urbanization has brought not only economic and social development, but also urban sprawl and environmental damage, which make the city become a tool to complete various functions and no longer suitable for residents to live. A strange phenomenon appears that the more development of the city, the lower residents’ satisfaction to the urban environment. This article argues that meeting the needs of the people is the true meaning of urban development, and discusses the needs of the residents to the urban environment.

This chapter describes the shifting ecologies of the spaces along the railway tracks in the provincial capital city of Northeastern Thailand, Khon Kaen. It traces the land’s history by describing how the Thai state railway transformed from a national infrastructural project into a space of dwelling. By intertwining infrastructural histories with stories of dwelling, the chapter shows how state actors remake the land through their efforts to govern it and how residents have transformed it through political struggles to secure their homes, assert their political status, improve their communities, and maintain their rights to the city. The interrelationship between these histories reveals the ways ecologies—both actual and possible—make and are made through social relations, political struggles, and spatial policy.

In the nineteen twenties a group of graduates from the Colegio de San Nicolás and the Universidad Michoacana in Morelia, the capital city of the state of Michoacán, drafted a program for the economic and social development of the countryside that, in the next decade, influenced federal policies and ideas about health care. This article examines the ideas and efforts of two Morelian physicians, Jesús Díaz Barriga (1891-1971) and Enrique Arreguín Vélez (1907-1989) who, during the 1920s and early 1930s, developed an incipient system of rural health in Michoacán. In 1935 they organized the First Congreso of Rural Hygiene, an event which they hoped would launch a state-managed system of rural health, and eventually the socialization of medicine in Mexico.

Lanzhou, the provincial capital city of Gansu Province in north-west China, released two logos about the image and the tourism successively to propagandize the city. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to analyze the logos from the perspective of linguistics and to identify how images and words in the logos work together to fulfill the aim of propagandizing the city, what the respective advantages and disadvantages of the two logos are, and how to achieve a better propaganda aim of the city logos. METHOD Based on the Kress and Van Leeuwen’s visual grammar, this paper attempts to adopt a multimodal analysis and descriptive-analytical method to two logos about Lanzhou China and make a comparison between them, analyzing the representational meaning, the interactive meaning and the compositional meaning of the two logos. CONCLUSION We found that images and words can work together to create a synergic effect of propagandizing the city, and multimodality is an effective way to present such information about the characteristics of a city in meaning-making process of logos. Through the interaction of these different semiotic elements, the logos express much more abundant information than separate ones.

This study explores the process of economic development of Surabaya residency in the period 1830-1930 and its implications for the natives’ economy. The indicator of economic development is focused on export of agricultural and export-import activities of Surabaya in 1830-1930. The natives’ economic progress will be seen at the level of their income. The minimum standard used to measure the level of prosperity is the per year income of a native.The rise and decline of the Surabaya economy during the period of Cultivation System and the liberal period can be observed from the export of agricultural products and the value of the foreign trade surplus. The highest value of foreign trade surplus in the Cultivation System period occurred in 1850s. At that time the overall value of foreign trade surplus of Surabaya showed was 0.54 per cent. The highest foreign trade surplus in liberal period was 0.96 per cent which occurred in 1920, when the price of sugar was rapidly increasing. The implication of the economic development of Surabaya for the native can also be differentiated between the period of the Cultivation System and the liberal period.  In the period of the Cultivation System the economic condition of people was really miserable, especially in sugar cane plantation areas. The hardship of the people in Surabaya was describe by the nineteenth-century historian Hageman as temporary slavery (tijdelijke slavernij). The economic condition of the people in Surabaya in liberal period can be considered prosperous, especially after the abolishment of the compulsory work. In the city of Surabaya which was the capital city of the residency, as a result of the expansion of trading, shipping and industry, employment was abundant and the people became prosperous too. After 1870 a skilled laborer (tukang) in the capital city of Surabaya received an income of 1.00- 1.50 guilders per day. The depression of the people resurfaced when the economic crisis hit 1930s. As a result, much investment went bankrupt. In addition, a number of development projects of the government had to be stopped which resulted in increasing unemployment.
