Abstract

Development is an inevitable force making its way through the world. No matter one's view on development, it will occur somewhere around the world. Governments use this tool to hopefully give a boost in the economy and sometimes bring areas into the 2lst century through gentrification. Development is not a task met without controversy, as it impacts the lives of many. Development has been known to ignore the citizens of communities, taking up government funds, and. ruining the environment. I will be looking at various areas: Florida, Colorado, Sweden, and Poland, where these issues are present and provide insight to these Issues. I analyze these issues and offer solutions to make development a more positive endeavor.
