The Newark airport was exploited to take advantage of tight capacity at New York City's airports. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is also making heavy infrastructure investments in Newark (Roney, no date)
Infrastructure improvements are one important step. Crime is a more complex issue, because crime is a response to the lack of economic opportunity (Hamnett, 2003)
The Africans quickly became "masons, carpenters, smithies, lithographers, sculptors, artists, locksmiths, cabinetmakers, jewelers, and cobblers."

Another journalist, Jin Hui, wrote in a published book of criticisms called The River Dragon Has Come:: "By severing the mighty river and slowing the flow of its water, the dam will cause pollution from industrial and residential sources to concentrate in the river, rather than be flushed out at sea. The result will be a poisoned river" (Kennedy)
However, it is uncertain whether the State Environmental Protection Administration could prevail over the government-owned enterprise that runs this huge hydroelectric project. If the construction company did not stop construction at the three sites, it could have faced $24,000 in fines, a small amount for an enterprise whose projects run well into the billions (Ni)
Nationalism in Geography Classrooms: Challenges and Opportunities This journal article begins by stating that political geographers have long been critically engaging with nationalism as a research topic, and it is equally important to continue this engagement in geography classrooms.

In fact, it is actually the first time that the state environmental agency has won legal backing for a major effort since the National Environmental Assessment Law went into effect in fall 2003.

Then, once they begin using the land for its intended purposes such as farming or mining various natural resources, the environmental impact will continue. (Butler, 2010) as these different methods, of using the land will often involve the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere in one way or another
Global City or world city rank is seen as valuable, and because of this a lot of groups have attempted to categorize and position which cities are seen as world cities and which ones which are not. The criterion for classification tends either to be founded on a benchmark value or on a forthcoming determination (Beaverstock, Smith, and Taylor, 1999)
Total remittances are anticipated to go up considerably in the years to come. Policies to decrease poverty will be insufficient without extensive acknowledgment of this vital financial connection between the rich and poor nations (Brottem, 2006)
That number does not include a projected one million or so illegal immigrants that are not counted by the census or the numerous foreign diplomats, business people, and tourists that swarm the streets every day. It is also a continually changing group; while Main Street in Queens was home to Jewish immigrants and their stores a generation ago, today it is dominated by signs in Chinese and Korean (Cohen, 2010)
