It sounds bureaucratic but a governmental system is the first order of the day. Next is tax schedules to raise money for and implement the all-important infrastructure planning, water, sewer, electricity, roads etc.

Look for retired mayors and city managers from larger, well run cities. These people do consulting work of this type all the time. Find a city that you think is well run and start from there.\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\nRestaurants/Retail/Bars\nbodell1@cox.net\nhttp://www.bodellconsulting.com

To develop we need to streamline so we need Business Process Re Engineering. Of course your land has to free and ready for it all. If it's a country where war rages then you would social process re engeering, if that exists. I think in a country like India - go for it

If you mean cities that were planned out before they started getting built - there are dozens, if not hundreds of them.  See the attached link for more info.

You might try web search and word it waste products of a city. You may even try your own city. I tried it and got some information, you can try it and at least you will have some stats. to work with. The information is out there, writing it won't be to difficult, just thinking up a theme to convey the numbers or stats. across might. Good luck.

First thing is MAKE IT DIFFERENT. There are far too many subdivisions that all look the same. Secondly, since it is small you must target a niche section of the market and design and sell it on that basis.  Planning permission and various government regulations pertaining to your plans can easily be obtained from the City Hall in whatever area you choose to put the subdivision....but that's the easy part. The hard part is to come up with something unique or you'll lose your pants!

One of the most devastating problems facing the entire world today is the spread of slums - ghettos - and poverty, and starvation.\n\n I would write a steel solid business plan - - it would take weeks or months just to write the plan, to get it right. \n\nThen I would spend the money to stop the spread of these slums and ghettos and all that come with it. \n\nMaybe I would have constructed some type of special neighborhoods or community-run citypods, anyway it would take much more thought and planning but that's what I would do with the money.

You should check out The Pentegon's New Map by Thomas Barnett and maybe email some embassies in the US for really booming countries like India and China.  Also, depending on how technical you want to go, you may want to look at Jan Aart Scholte's book Globalization: a critical introduction.

Man, homework assignments have changed a great deal since I was a kid.\n\nThe simple answer is you can't. Because it's based on theory and there is no absolutes in theory. It's kinda like appraising a house, just on a larger scale and it pays way more.\n\nHowever, if you want to play along with that liberal socialistic crap that they brainwash you with in school, then to answer your question you will have to locate previous similar developments with similar variables (population demographics, geography, laws, economic factors and cycles, etc) and analyze the outcome to determine if the development increased the price of the affected area. Then you have to adjust your results if there were any additional variables that might have hindered or improved the results. Again, there is no absolutes in theory, so you could be way off even if your data was on par, especially since it was a government development plan, and not from the private sector. ;) \n\nRegards...

Head to Brigade road and simply walk up and down to start with! \n\nA buddy of mine says, if he just stood somewhere on Brigade road and let everyone pass by, he insists half the population of Bangalore passes by in about 8 hours!\n\nNow that you have probably 'brushed past' a good number of Bangaloreans, take your pick, make friends. \n\nBuy someone a drink! Stop reading this and just get out there.
