that city and now officials are looking at restricting people's movements in the city of foam they've urged the over $1000000.00 residents of that city to exercise caution be careful with their movements and they've also closed schools and universities there to try and restrict people's travels around the city to try and contain the virus we've also heard from the health ministry that this virus has been reported in the capital as well as a number of other cities we are waiting for official numbers we're expecting a official announcement from the health ministry in the coming hours from now they rein in officials have said they've received 4 kits from the world health organization to try and come back and control the spread of this disease of course iran is population of about 83000000 people and they're worried that many people are not exercising the appropriate measures to try and limit the spread of this disease for now they've said anybody that has symptoms should go to clinics or hospitals to try and be tested for the corona virus for the time being they

feeding people in the world's growing cities is a big challenge. what if the spirit of sharing is even bigger. now there's another problem with growing more and more food in the countryside traditional farmers are choosing to move toward cities in search for a better life money and a secure future in northern cannot to countless agricultural towns have a severe water problem and farming is becoming untenable we met with one man who has gone between the need to own money in the city and his desire to be a farmer. at 7 am every morning and genea sets out on the do hour trip into bangalore. he just so this way onto a local train to get to the city where he earns a 2nd income. anjan is heading in for a full day of work at a garment factory. navigating the infamous bangalore traffic on the day of feels like he's living a double life and that his heart is elsewhere. in the know. and when i'm in a city i count off every minute until the time i can go home while i'm there i suddenly think about the cow dung or which crops need watering i may be in the city

cities finally coming to an end. for brian and while i'm on his part this crisis and nobody has the freedom to live in the city in a more mature way and the future of the cities is the future of morbidity in a new way. the global design studio graphed is developing visions of our future urban mobility. its founders last cook a bag and thomas villa might are specialists in urban planning and sustainable architecture they expect future generations to have far more choice in how they move around their cities. that child all of us. will probably walk quite. some distance because the neighborhoods will be without too much traffic jump on a car maybe their leads then to a connection that probably will take their child into the air and landed right on the working place. flying taxis could be a spectacular urban upgrade but probably not for the masses the biggest changes will affect cars especially our own private ones of which there are more than $1000000000.00 worldwide. there will be no bond anymore between public transportation and individual traffic of the separation of both cities that we see true there. but what could ta

city very quickly. and you can see that in the structures. i think the importance is to give the sense that this area, the panhandle plains and amarillo as a city, is interesting because it is a big, urban center for a large, rural area. we were interested in how the development of cities and their landscape in the west occurred. so the idea of kansas city being another city not as appreciated as it should be for its role in the united states development of urbanity. we were tying those two together, and i think people can understand beyond this area, it is a local history, that is also a regional history and a national history. so it works on a number of levels. >> our cities to her staff recently traveled to amarillo to learn more about its rich history. to learn more, go to c-span.org/citiestour. you're watching american history tv, all weekend every weekend on c-span3.

it went on to buy several other affordable housing properties in this city. his whole notion came with the san francisco housing authority selling off its inventory, our church became very concerned as to what would happen to persons, particularly in this community. we needed to find someone who would listen to us and have an appreciation that we're a faith-based organization. we're interested in people. we're interested in people having safe and affordable housing. although we own several buildings our mission is clear, that we want safe affordable housing. so speaking the others at the neighborhood development community, i always get that wrong -- but, anyway -- we decided that we would forge a relationship and we would do two properties together. so kennedy and the rosa park. we are delighted to have that relationship, that friendship, that allows us to have a say as to what is happening in this community with respect to affordable housing. reverend shaw is about two years new to the san francisco bay area. prior to him being assigned, we had a pastor by th

city-owned sites and other opportunities in and near the city. sites were evaluated for suitability to develop within the five to 10-year timeframe. candidates were -- candidate sites, excuse me, were identified as capable of exports power to the grid to serve cleanpowersf and had no identifiable barriers to development. candidate sites were rated. a high suitability rating means that the site is worth further time, further planning and analysis to determine whether a renewable project should be implemented at the sites and funds requested. a medium suitability rating was assigned to site where is a barrier will need to be addressed before we spend more time on the renewable development at the site. so that could be something like a structural upgrade that we know that needs to happen before we put the weight of a solar system on it. for electric resource planning and procurement purposes, the city defines "local" as the nine county bay area. this approach provides a preference to projects that are located in the region through our bidding proces

a drop in the bucket in a big city, 248. not very impressive. but this was a big deal in a small town. this is another distinctive feature of rural immigration. that is the ability of relatively small groups of immigrants to quickly and dramatically alter the texture of local life. by 1900 immigrants formed 22.2% of monson's population. more than 1/5 of the town was composed of immigrants. that was a higher proportion than in portland which was maine's largest city and under the proportion of foreign-born population in philadelphia. if you factor in the children of immigrants, one quarter of monson's population was at most a generation removed from sweden. such dramatic changes might have been expected to create unease and even backlash. that was in fact the case in some other small towns near monson. we are going to talk about the rebirth of the ku klux klan next week and you will see that the klan was strong in maine including in towns like milo and dexter next to monson. the reason immigrants were better treated that many immigrants in other p
