Sustainable Development Examples

There are different examples of sustainable development around the world, with sustainable cities, eco-industrial parks. Here are some of the examples:

1. China Rongsheng Heavy Industries, China's largest shipbuilder outside state control, plans to issue an initial public offering (IPO) in Hong Kong this month. The funds raised will be used on shipbuilding, marine engine building, engineering machinery and debt repayment. Rongsheng is a young company, delivering its first vessel in 2008, but has grown to become one of the largest shipyards in the world.

Migration/Immigration Assessment

The sparkly dark night had been covered with shining stars and a bright full moon. Ayaya was sitting on a couch in the backyard and watching the lollipops dropping from the sky. It had been nearly seven years since Ayaya and a couple of her best friends migrated externally from Amivism to Amimism. They all decided to move outside of Amivism because of the two push factors; social migration and persecution. In Amivism, there was discrimination and half of the people died of a gigantic starvation. The Amivist people were starving for months, there was a lack of lollipops, and some of the Amivist including Ayaya and her best friends were harmed by a dangerous gang. It was more safety in Amimism because lolli-guards were everywhere on every single street, flying lollipops were crowded in the air and these were the two pull factors of Amimism that a lot of people from other countries chose to move in.

It was a great idea for Ayaya and her friends to migrate to Amimism because it was a secured country to live in and they enjoyed a better quality of life with enough food. After the migration of Ayaya’s and her friends’, more than the other half of the people moved out of Amivism, the gang suddenly stopped harming and mistreating people because there were only a few people left and they turned out to be good citizens. There weren’t many Amivist people left, therefore, there was a sustainable use of lollipops by that amount of people and no one ever starved for the following decades.
