The key point in this question is to explain why synergy between these factors makes it harder to disrupt sprawl. You won't be successful with a single action that reverses a single factor.

 

Q5 - (3 points) Urbanization has positive and negative aspects. Explain how you would use multiple perspectives to address the problem of the environmental impact of large cities and give some examples of the type of information you might get.

how they are used - should be to construct narratives and give some particular information gathered

need an example of where the perspectives gives different information and how that is handled

why is important to focus on disagreement - most obious reason is that people already agree on the other parts, however it also drives the effort to collect information that is contradictory rather than just reinforcing the current paradigm
