After listening “There Goes the Neighborhood – Our Town”, I understand better of how to make a podcast. I think they are doing a good job on their podcast because the podcast is running so smooth. the podcast use a question, information, and conclusion technique to make the podcast. the beginning of the podcast is well done too, it used an important question to attract the listener curiosity or interest. I think I also can do a podcast like what they did, starting with an interesting question or information, then just shoot out question, information, and answer.

Walking seems too far me, except every day walking to the train station. As Jonn Elledge said walking refresh our mind, and walking in the City is not only a walk but to recognize and get familiar to the City. However, some people just don’t like walking, just like me. My opinion is, when there is an easier, faster, and safer way to get to a destination, why not using it! An aimless walking could be dangerous, especially when walking by yourself, because you never know what kind of people you will encounter, a drunker, a robber, or maybe a killer?

Human history is all about improvements, we get out of the cave and lives in a tent, after that, we abandoned the tent then build house, and now it time to leave the house and move to building. In my opinion, a City is called City aren’t how many lands it had, neither of how it was built, but the density of the populations. It is normal to me that when the population of a City growth to certain level. The governor, people in charge of the power and wealth, need to find a way of expanding the City. Land is a limited resource, so making more buildings are the best way of expanding the City. Human are different than animal because we are intelligent, and language is one of the best ways to show human intelligent. For the long human history time, we had not lost our communication skill to severe condition, then why should we fear of loosing it just to move out of houses and be put in buildings. To be honest, does an open street safer then a close play ground or park? I believe a park or play ground surrounded with walls are safer. I’ve been in Hong Kong for couple days, stayed at one of my relative apartments. However, the place where my relative lived had no house, all buildings. To see a house, one need to drive a car for an hour. In those few days, I meet most of the family who lived in the same building and some of the people lived in another building near it. I had the feeling of the whole building is a big family, they help each other’s. just like the scene on the film “Citizen Jane: Battle for the City” when kids are playing on the street and parents watch them at the windows or in front of the doors. City is everyone’s City and community is everyone’s community too. We all have the right and the responsibility to make it better.
