Banana Kelly Community Improvement Association
The Bronx Center Project encompasses a number of cooperative efforts ranging from economic development, health and human services, education, culture, housing, and transportation (Unesco, 2008e). This project highlights the need to attack community programs at the root of the problem. Moving out of degraded communities is not the answer. Revitalization is an excellent use of existing resources. Instead of using new resources and allowing those in local communities to go to waste, community revitalization can be an important strategy for existing communities

Project of Lots and Services for low income population on the North Zone
This project highlights projects for low-income family groups in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is being carried out by APAC, a civil association of non-profit organizations designed to help improve conditions in the community (Unesco, 2008f). It focuses on the basics such as:
1) water supply system
2) electricity supply system
3) road constructions
4) open rainwater drainage system
5) light pillars
6) streets lighting (Unesco, 2008f).
Once again, this project demonstrates that problems that are more complex will not go away until the basics are fixed first.

Other sources, however, indicate that if one were to look at the formal influence of colonization, the many different countries in Africa have been receiving a sort of 'forced' foreign aid even prior to the Scramble of Africa. As such, there has been a substantial amount
In developed nations this is easier because technologies and materials, often expensive and hard to come by, can help to mitigate pollution. In less developed nations, pollution is often somewhat of an afterthought as a product of production or prosperity (Termorshuizen, Opdam, and van den Brink, 380). By creating cheaper, more fuel efficient technologies and by making them available to all nations, pollution in the third world and developing
This in turn drew more workers (Hassan 2004). The result is that Kuala Lumpur has added millions to its population and enjoys a far greater average annual income than does rural Malaysia. Indeed, Harris-Todaro also helps to explain urban-urban migration in Malaysia. As Kuala Lumpur has grown to be the country's primate city, it has captured migration from smaller urban areas, including the region's former primate cities such as

Environmental ethics is a conjecture and an application in relation to apprehensions for principles in, and obligations regarding the natural world. Ethics, basically, is people relating to people in impartiality and love. Environmental ethics begins with human distresses for quality surroundings (Gaston 52). This concern shapes the ethic from beginning to the end. Beyond inter-human concerns, ideals are at pledge when individuals relate to animals, plants, species and ecosystem. Humans
