The document discusses trends in urbanization from the 1980s to present day and the consequences if urban growth continues unplanned. It notes that from 1980 to 1992 in California, over 200,000 acres of farmland and forests were converted into urban areas. If current trends continue globally, all farmland and open spaces could be lost. Rapid and unplanned urbanization can lead to overcrowded cities with deteriorating living conditions, homelessness, and suburban sprawl overtaking agricultural lands. The document recommends improving cities through better land use planning, mass transit investments, inner-city renovations, and preserving open spaces and green areas within urban areas.

The document discusses the unsustainability of modern cities and proposes a new urban design model called "urban eco-regions". It argues that cities are overly dependent on resources from outside their boundaries and produce too much waste. It suggests redesigning cities to be more self-sufficient by including their surrounding productive lands and ecosystems within their political jurisdictions. The goal would be for urban eco-regions to meet most of their residents' needs locally while dramatically reducing their ecological footprints to become contributors rather than burdens to the global environment.

This document discusses the relationship between fiction and autobiography. It examines how authors draw from their own lives and experiences when writing fiction, using examples from works by Mark Leyner, Tao Lin, Anne Carson, Sylvia Plath, and Michael Lista. However, the document questions how much scrutiny fiction receives regarding autobiographical elements, compared to poetry. It also analyzes Lista's insistence that his work The Scarborough is not about Paul Bernardo, even though it engages with similar themes. The document suggests Lista's work may have had a different reception had he openly acknowledged the autobiographical influences.
