Urban system contains several key components or sub-systems, including transportation, land use, economy, energy, population, water and environment systems. These sub-systems are connected to each other either directly or indirectly.
For this assignment, students need to write an essay to review the evidence about the connections/interactions between any two or more urban sub-systems.
One specific example for this essay: The Interactions between Transport, Land Use and Economy Systems: A Review of Evidence. Note: you may use other tittles which can better describe your essay.
The essay should cover the following two topics:
(1) Introduction to the Urban Sub-systems Chosen
The role of the sub-systems chosen in the urban system (e.g., why it is important?)
What are the key components of the sub-systems chosen?
(2) Interactions between the Urban Sub-systems Chosen
Reviewing and discussing the evidence about the interactions between the urban sub-systems chosen
Citing relevant work (e.g., papers and books) to support your argument
Using some specific examples to explain your argument
Students are suggested to review relevant references (e.g., papers and books) before writing the essay. Please check your citation and reference list very carefully. Your essay should NOT contain any sentences which are directly copied from references.
Plagiarism will result into a zero mark for the assignment.

You will be conducting research to find statistics, facts, quotes from experts, and studies to validate your argument in your proposal. Hypothetical examples, anecdotes, and personal experience can also be used in this paper. (You may need to use evidence to define your problem and really convince your reader it really is a problem. You will also likely need evidence to support the validity of your proposed solution.).

A proposal argument
A proposal argument is a type of argument that focuses on presenting proposal as a solution to a problem, outlining the details of the proposal, and providing good reasons to support the proposal.
1. Introduce and define the nature of the problematic situation
Make sure to focus on the actual problem and what is causing the problem. This may seem simple, but many people focus solely on the effects of a problematic situation. By focusing on the actual problem, your readers will see your proposal as a solution to the problem. If you don’t, your readers might see your solution as a mere complaint.
2. Propose a solution to the problem
Be specific. You may choose to break your solution into parts and spend a paragraph or so describing each part. Remember to stay focused. Added length does not always equal a better argument.
3. Describe the workability of the various solutions
There are a variety of ways that this can be done. With a single-solution paper you could break the feasibility down into short- and long-term goals and plans. With a multiple-solution essay, you may instead highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the individual solutions, and establish which would be the most successful, based on your original statement of the problem and its causes.
4. Address the opposition (your rebuttal/counterargument)
When writing an argument, expect that you will have opposition. There will be other people out there who are going to disagree with your arguments. Skeptical readers will have their own beliefs and points of view. When conducting your research, make sure to review the opposing side of the argument that you are presenting. You need to be prepared to counter those ideas. Remember, for people to give up their position, they must see how your position is more reasonable than their own. When you address the opposing point of view in your essay and demonstrate how your own claim is stronger, you neutralize their argument. By failing to address a non-coinciding view, you leave a reason for your reader to disagree with you, and therefore weaken your persuasive power.
5. Summarize and conclude your proposal
Summarize your solution(s), re-state how the solution(s) would work to remedy the problematic situation, and you’re done with your proposal.
Organizing your proposal
You will format your paper in sections. Your paper must follow this exact structure:
(Use these headers in your proposal)
Cover letter
This one-page letter introduces your audience to the problem, its significance, and your proposal to solve the problem. It should be addressed to a specific individual or group.
Summary
This section summarizes the problem, its background, the proposal, and justification in one paragraph.
Problem
This is a one-sentence description of the problem.
Background to the problem
This section is an introduction to the problem.
1. Describe the problem, its background/history, and its significance.
2. Convince your audience that this is a real problem, and something needs to be done about it.
3. Make it personal or show how it affects the reader.
4. Present your proposal (thesis statement) concisely.
The Proposal
After showing a problem really exists in the introduction, you need to show your solution, one which is solvable, doable, and practical. Explain your proposal in detail and justify it (with step-by-step specifics on how your solution works):
1. How much money it will cost?
2. Who will be responsible for implementing it?
3. How easily it can be implemented
4. How much time it will take to set it up and make it work?
5. What kinds of materials and labor are needed to make it work?
6. How it addresses the problem
Give reasons for your audience to implement your proposal. Show how the benefits of your solution outweigh the costs. If the costs are high, appeal to the values of the audience by showing that your proposal will lead to actions that lead to consequences that your audience values.
Use causal arguments
Show how one consequence will lead to another until the problem is solved.
Use analogy
Perhaps your solution or a similar one elsewhere is successful.
Use precedent
Perhaps your solution or a similar has been successful in the past. If a similar solution was not successful, show how your situation is different so that the solution will now work in your situation.
Justify your argument
Give reasons for your audience to implement your proposal (other than those which relate to its being able to solve the problem by giving arguments from the heart and from values). Show how the benefits of your solution outweigh the costs. If the costs are high, appeal to the values of the audience by showing that your proposal will lead to actions that lead to consequences that your audience values.
Counterargument
Summary and rebuttal of opposing views (Counterargument). When you address your counterargument, you must refer to a SPECIFIC outside source/author that would disagree with your proposal.
Conclusion
Sum up the main points and state your case clearly and directly, so that your audience feels convinced to do something about the problem, preferably adopt your proposal.

Briefly present an organization and summarize some problem/issue/challenge that the organization seeks to address using evidence to support their description.
Next analyze how dynamics of power, privilege, and oppression create, support, or inhibit the resolution of the challenge. This will entail identifying factors internal and external to the organization (staff, service users, limited resources, municipal policies, etc.) that contribute to the issue.
Then identify the role of the social worker as a change agent in addressing this challenge and identify the organizations readiness to change, which includes specifying existing (internal and external) barriers and supports.
Then identify three possible alternative change interventions and explain which of these they consider to be the optimal choice. They must justify this choice using the social work values of social, economic, and environmental justice.
Then provide an evaluation strategy to assess the effectiveness of the intervention.
