Week 6- Internship Complete
With the last remaining days of my internship, I continued to focus on the report. Throughout this entire internship I have experienced more than I could have possibly asked for. In Europe, especially the areas I focused on, were infused with signs of sustainability on every corner. The transportation model is just one facet of how environmental considerations are at the forefront of European policy. While the European continent possesses plenty of space for expansion of population, their urban city lifestyle restricts the amount of space in cities. This actually has benefited them in the long run due to the short travel time, thus achieving sustainability unlike less spacious conscious environments (such as the U.S.) where cities and the suburbs often are great distances from each other. In European development, space is utilized to the highest level of efficiency and thus provides shorter transportation time. The trading of goods and free flow of human capital has also been very beneficial thanks to the European Union. As the EU continues to grow while recently gaining Croatia, the European continent will strengthen the relationship it has with neighboring countries, as well as tackling larger problems such as sustainability and job creation.
