The paper will also explore urban planning in both cities and compare the problems which resulted from a lack of urban planning.
In the decade between 1880 and 1890, New York City became a highly industrialized center. Even before the last turn of the century, the railroad companies and the growing number of East Coast mills who shipped things in and out of the city helped New York City turn into one of the first American "company towns."1 But the industrial revolution also brought with it pollution, ...

From the Paper
"The population of Los Angeles County has done nothing but grow. As of 2004, it had reached approximately 10,103,000 (Overview, 2005), with only the promise of continued growth for the foreseeable future. For the period 2004 to 2014, the population of Los Angeles County is expected to increase by an average annual compound rate of 0.61%, according to a report from Integra Realty Resources of Los Angeles (Integra, 2005). According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, the average Southern California household uses 500 gallons of water each day (Los Angeles, 2005). Assuming four people per household, that amounts to 1,262,875,000 gallons of water per day, or 460,949,375,000 gallons of water per year just for Los Angeles County. For the entire region of Southern California, the figure can only be higher."

Abstract
This paper compares two figures in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the 'Fertility Goddess' from Pakistan, and the 'Landsdowne Artemis' from Rome, both of which are from around the first century AD. The comparison illustrate differences in culture such as different world views, different traditions, different religious meaning, different mythologies, differences in dress, and so on, and differences in craftsmanship.
From the Paper
"In comparing works of art from different cultures in the ancient world, two major differences can usually be noted. The first involves differences in culture, meaning different world views, different traditions, different religious meaning, different mythologies, differences in dress, and so on. The second involves differences in craftsmanship, with works contemporary in time showing very different levels of development and skill. A comparison of two works from different cultures but from about the same time period shows how these differences might be seen. A work from Pakistan from the first century AD is identified as coming specifically from Sirkap or Charsadda, in the Gandhara region of South Asia. It is a terracotta figure of the Fertility Goddess.

Abstract
This paper discusses the endless cycle of poverty that exists in the Los Angeles inner city and looks at what must be done in order to end this cycle. The paper contends that lawmakers and educators must find new ways to give disadvantaged students opportunities to break out of their desperate situation and that these methods, even if not popular with everybody, must be put into effect if the generational poverty is to come to an end.
From the Paper
"The Los Angeles inner city is plagued by a cycle of poverty in which people live in utter hopelessness both for themselves and for their children. To truly end this cycle, poor people must be given a way out of this situation. However, a solution will only be effective if people have the skills to support themselves with a decent-paying job. Therefore, the only way to end the cycle of poverty that exists in Los Angeles County is through the school system by creating an education program geared towards preparing students for jobs that are high paying and in high demand. This means making changes that lead toward the ultimate goal of providing a good education, even if these changes are not popular. The only way to succeed at anything is to make a plan and stick with it. With this in mind, those people in charge of low-income schools in Los Angeles should make an exerted effort to infuse these schools with new resources, even if it means diverting a certain amount of those resources from more affluent schools."

Abstract
This paper details the lack of political action to proactively combat poverty in Los Angeles County. While many programs exist to fight against gang formations and crimes, these policies are reactive and do not help to solve the actual problem, only contain them. This paper describes why Los Angeles County epitomizes the situation of gross neglect by the government for poor families struggling to break out of the cycle of poverty. Lacking governmental aid or media attention, it is extremely hard for these individuals to gain the same level of equality that everyone else in America takes for granted. The problem of poverty has been a major effecting force in why Los Angeles County continues to experience more crime, violence and racial tension every year. The writer of this paper also looks at the LA county school system, which is the number one cause for continued poverty, as students are told both verbally and through the tacit actions of their teachers that they are worthless and destined for poverty. This paper discusses the dire need for aid and assistance in breaking the cycle of crime and poverty in L.A.
From the Paper
"The problem of poverty has been a major effecting force in why Los Angeles County continues to experience more crime, violence, and racial tension every single year. Poverty leads to desperation, and when people are desperate they are willing to do anything and everything to survive. The only way to better the overall state of Los Angeles is to break the cycle of oppression that poverty stricken families face. Although it may be hard to cure all of the ills of the poor in our current generation, many steps can be taken to help future ones. In order to examine the problem at its roots, a thorough analysis of the causes behind poverty in Los Angeles County must be conducted. One of the causes of poverty in this area is the racial segregation of communities."

Abstract
This paper explains that the New York City water system delivers drinking water to more than 8 million city residents plus 1 million consumers in other counties and then returns the used water into the New York's extensive wastewater treatment system. The author points out that the Metropolitan Sewerage commission was created in 1904 after the discovery of the link between waterborne bacteria and human disease. The paper relates that one of the leading challenges and causes of wastewater collection system blockages is FOG---fats, oil and grease. The author relates that solutions counteracting FOG are large monetary penalties requiring the polluter to appear in court every time a fine is issued, helping businesses comply with regulations and installing grease interceptors. The paper includes a figure.
Table of Contents:

FOG: A Primary Challenge to New York City's Wastewater Treatment System Faces
Solutions to FOG
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Grease interceptors are used to prevent FOG materials from entering and clogging the sewer lines. All City business that dispose of grease, fats or oil should have a grease interceptor installed, including: restaurants, hospitals, day cares, senior centers, nursing homes, and other food handling operations. The interceptor works by separating the grease and oils from the wastewater. FOG laden wastewater enters the interceptor and passes through a vented flow control fitting that regulates the flow of the wastewater."

Abstract
In this article the writer examines the architecture of the city of Los Angeles. In order to make this analysis, the writer discusses Reyner Banham's book 'Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies'. The writer looks at how Banham studies different environments, topography and collections of architecture within Los Angeles.
From the Paper
"In his book 'Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies', Reyner Banham contributes to the literature on architecture by analyzing specifically the architecture of Los Angeles, a city known for its variety and sprawling dimensions. The author combines insights into the two by showing how the city can be divided into different sections on the basis of differing ecologies, by which he means different environments, different topography, and different clusters of architecture linked to each of the regions he considers. He offers four ecologies in his analysis, showing at the same time aspects of the history of the city and of the state of California, a history that helped shape these differing ecologies."

From the Paper
"The literary criteria used for this evaluation include a clear theme to which all the elements of the work relate, characterizations that are both interesting and meaningful in context, a degree of originality, and overall coherence. In this case, the way the work exposes aspects of Los Angeles life and relates to American life is also given importance. Books of short stories are judged on overall effect rather than by giving a grade to each story. Steve Abee, The Bus B: In this novel, the author takes his main character on a bus trip across Los Angeles, tying together the different parts of the city and the different populations and showing how they fit into the city as a whole. The panorama of the city is like that of the country as a whole, with the different ethnic neighborhoods being reminiscent of similar enclaves in other cities."

Abstract
This paper is a critical book review and proposal on the book "Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies" by Reyner Banham, noting that the author points out how Los Angeles architecture involves a mixture of styles and a variety of responses to the environment of the city. In addition, Banham expands the concept of architecture by noting how much of Los Angeles is represented by specialized architecture like the freeway intersections that so represent the culture of the city.
From the Paper
"California is often set forth as a cultural leader and as the state in which new ideas, fads, styles, and trends begin and then move out across the country. Los Angeles is a media leader in the United States and the world and so is one of the prime sources for these new concepts. A study of the architecture of Los Angeles can thus be seen as a look at the beginning point for many architectural movements and features and may suggest something about how the rest of the country relates to architecture. In this book by Reyner Banham, the author..."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the history of Mexican immigrants in Los Angeles and addresses how immigration policies both past and present have impacted Mexican immigrants and the poverty that encompasses them. By looking at the history of attempts made to rectify the problems of immigration and focusing on the failures of immigration policies, the paper examines the responsibilities of both the state and federal governments on policy implementation. The paper also looks at the unique urban community of Los Angeles and the Mexican immigrant population that lives there. The paper focuses on the issues that the city faces at the local level, which includes both social and economic ramifications, and looks at the role of social work in working with immigrants. In regards to social welfare needs of immigrants, the paper demonstrates the role social workers play in addressing the social welfare needs of the Mexican immigrant population in Los Angeles.
From the Paper
"An integrated program of workplace enforcement and border control would provide a steady decline in the illegal immigrant populations. As a result of this policy attempt to reduce illegal immigration, state and local services for education, health, and social welfare services began to widely serve newly arrived immigrants and their unauthorized families in the early 1990?s. Suits were filed against the Federal Government and many people were upset about the fears that immigrants were draining the resources. California?s Prop. 187 addressed earlier, paved the way for the implementation of the Welfare Reform Act, enacted by President Clinton in 1996. The Welfare reform bill limited immigrant?s eligibility for Government assistance programs."

Abstract
This paper discusses the history and development of Los Angeles, California. It looks at Los Angeles' population boom in the 1870s and the 1880s. It discusses how new settlers were recruited and what kind of people came to the area and why. The paper then discusses the role of the railroads and boosterism in settling the region with Anglo-Americans.
From the Paper
"As an increased number of people journeyed to Los Angeles, they seemed to travel in their own communities and stay in diverse areas neighboring the Los Angeles basin. For example, Mormons developed in San Bernardino and Germans advanced in Anaheim for agricultural success. Groups of people implemented their old home culture or ideas to their new city they now live in. In 1870 settlers became conscious of the honey industry because the foothills were ruled with bee-ranching homesteads. An additional method that was used for purposes of attracting persons to Los Angeles was by spreading a rumor that the air of Los Angeles was superior for one's health."

The Los Angeles Riots, 2005.

Abstract
A twentieth century event that was sparked by racial controversy was the Los Angeles riots following the not guilty verdicts of four white officers accused of beating black motorist Rodney King. The paper shows that the riots in April of 1992 caused extensive damage totaling in the hundreds of millions and caused the deaths of at least 45 persons. By far it was the worst civil unrest of this century, surpassing even the Watts riot of 1965 in terms of destruction and lives lost. The paper shows that beyond the physical and economic damage to L.A., was the damage to race relations caused by the riots. Even though the events of the Rodney King beating involved white officers and a black man, the riots knew no racial boundaries as almost every race was affected by the violence, looting and destruction of Los Angeles.
From the Paper
"The officers justified their actions by stating they thought King was on the powerful mind-altering drug, PCP, but tests showed he only had alcohol in his blood (Wall, 2). In light of all this evidence, the all-white Simi Valley jury determined the officers were not guilty of any wrongdoing in the beating. Even though King may have resisted arrest and attempted to attack an officer, no human being or animal deserved such a beating. The television viewers; black, white, Latino, or Asians who saw the videotaped beating knew that this was excessive use of force and that King's civil rights had been violated by these officers."
