Reflection

        Hi, my name is Renuka Sookram and i would just like to thank every one who visited my blog, and please feedback is always welcome. I began with Urban Culture because i taught that cities are filled with culture and norms that cannot be found elsewhere. Urban In sites focus on everyday sites in the city, problems you might find and solutions. 
       When i visited other blogs i was very impressed, a lot  of them was related with what i had to say, for instance Kelly Bhim's blog Urbanmorphologh.blogspot.com had a post for San Fernando. In this post she spoke about a new high rise building which serves as a teaching hospital. This relates to my post with Le Corbusier, who proposed that high rise buildings occupied less space but still functioned well.
       Another blogger David Quamina caught my attention with his forsaken buildings post. His blog Urbancries.blogspot.com said that old buildings are only conserved if they are perceived to have worth. My post on ghostly spaces directly relates to this, buildings should be preserved and maybe even restores and reused even though it does not belong to a majority group. This is because its architecture may be unique and it would add greatly to the city's history and richness.
      Finally Karen Bally of the blog Karrenballyconcretecity.blogspot.com, posted about traffic. I also posted about traffic, we both had interesting ideas as to solutions. However the most intriguing solution came from Karen, she had a video of Tax collection in Sweden where people would pay to enter the city. It would encourage individuals to carpool and studies showed a significant reduction in traffic. Very cool idea.
       Although i did not get to review everyone's blog i will try to do so. I hope you all enjoy reading, and until another time. Bye.
