Suburbs are inhabited districts located either on the outer rim of a city or outside the official limits of a city (the term varies from country to country), or the outer elements of a conurbation.
Toxic waste is a waste which is toxic (poisonous or hazardous) for a variety of reasons. It originates with industry in most cases, particularly chemical and plastics manufacturing.
The Troposphere is the lowermost portion of Earth’s atmosphere. It is the densest layer of the atmosphere and contains approximately 75% of the mass of the atmosphere and almost all the water vapour and aerosol.
The Sun Belt is a region of the United States generally considered to stretch across the South and Southwest. The Sun Belt has seen substantial demographic and economic growth in recent decades compared to the Rust Belt states of the Northeast and Midwest.

Michael Woo is Dean of the College of Environmental Design, California Polytechnic University, Pomona. The first trained urban planner elected to the Los Angeles City Council (1985 1993), Woo has become increasingly involved in cutting-edge issues such as climate change, smart growth, the relationship between land use and transportation, and the promotion of healthy cities.
Woo is a member of the Los Angeles City Planning Commission, initially appointed by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and confirmed by the L.A. City Council in 2005, and then re-appointed to a second term in 2008. As a planning commissioner, Woo played a key part helping to draft the Do Real Planning principles, adopted by the Commission in 2006, which publicly stated the Commissions expectations of proposed new development projects. He has been a strong proponent of transportation demand management requirements and reform of off-street parking policies. Most recently, Woo initiated the temporary moratorium on new electronic billboards which was approved by the City Planning Commission in November 2008 and enacted by the L.A. City Council in December 2008. He initiated a Planning Department study of land use options for reducing the health effects of breathing polluted air within 500 yards of a freeway.
From 2008 – 2009, Woo worked as a consultant to ClimatePlan, a statewide coalition advocating changes in local land use and transportation policies as a key strategy for combating climate change. In early 2009, Woo was appointed to the Regional Targets Advisory Committee which gave recommendations to the California Air Resources Board for reducing greenhouse gas emission relating to land use and transportation changes in each region of the state.
Dean Woo also chairs the Board of Directors of Sustainable Economic Enterprises of Los Angeles (SEE-LA), the nonprofit organization which runs the Hollywood Farmers Market, the largest certified farmers market in the City of Los Angeles. He chairs the governing board of Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center. He is also chair of the Board of Directors of Smart Growth America, the national coalition promoting smart growth policies at the national level. Woo also is a board member of the KCRW Foundation, California Food Policy Advocates and the Friends of the Los Angeles River (FOLAR).
When he was an L.A. City Councilmember, Woo initiated the Hollywood Redevelopment Plan which set forth the 30-year legal and financial framework for Hollywoods current revitalization. In 1993, Woo gave up his Council seat to run for Mayor of Los Angeles. Out of 24 candidates in the field, he reached second place, ultimately receiving 46 percent of the citywide vote in the June 1993 run-off election.
Woo has served as an Adjunct Professor at USCs School of Policy, Planning, and Development, teaching the undergraduate introduction to urban planning and development.
Woo earned a B.A. in Politics and Urban Studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and received his Master of City Planning degree from UC Berkeley. The Los Angeles chapter of the American Institute of Architects designated him as an honorary member of the AIA in 2008.
