Meerhoven
Meerhoven is a city quarter in the Dutch city of Eindhoven. It is the newest quarter of the city and a Vinex-location, which has been under development since 1997. The development of Meerhoven was started to deal with the shortage of housing in Eindhoven in the 1990s (and it was also part of the general Vinex urban development projects started around that time). In order to facilitate growth of the city, a significant rezoning of the southeast of the province of North Brabant was undertaken, in which part of the territory of the town of Veldhoven was added to Eindhoven. Also, the local airport Welschap was moved west and renamed Eindhoven Airport. The Meerhoven project was then started to develop the now vacated and available land. A large tract of the Meerhoven area was formerly the PIROC terrain (''Pantser Infanterie RijOpleidingsCentrum'', English ''Armored Infantry Drivers Training Center''). Meerhoven is located on the northwestern part of Eindhoven (north of the current ter ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Quarter (country Subdivision)
A quarter is a section of an urban settlement. A quarter can be administratively defined and its borders officially designated, and it may have its own administrative structure (subordinate to that of the city, town or other urban area). Such a division is particularly common in countries like Italy (), France (), Romania (), Georgia (, ''k'vart'ali''), Bulgaria ( bg, квартал, kvartal, Serbia ( / ), Croatia (). It may be denoted as a borough (in English-speaking countries), Spain (''barrio''), Portugal/Brazil (); or some other term (e.g. Poland (), Germany (), and Cambodia ( ''sangkat''). Quarter can also refer to a non-administrative but distinct neighbourhood with its own character: for example, a slum quarter. It is often used for a district connected with a particular group of people: for instance, some cities are said to have Jewish quarters, diplomatic quarters or Bohemian quarters. The Old City of Jerusalem currently has four quarters: the Muslim Quarter, Chri ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Flight En Park Forum
Flight or flying is the process by which an object moves through a space without contacting any planetary surface, either within an atmosphere (i.e. air flight or aviation) or through the vacuum of outer space (i.e. spaceflight). This can be achieved by generating aerodynamic lift associated with gliding or propulsive thrust, aerostatically using buoyancy, or by ballistic movement. Many things can fly, from animal aviators such as birds, bats and insects, to natural gliders/parachuters such as patagial animals, anemochorous seeds and ballistospores, to human inventions like aircraft (airplanes, helicopters, airships, balloons, etc.) and rockets which may propel spacecraft and spaceplanes. The engineering aspects of flight are the purview of aerospace engineering which is subdivided into aeronautics, the study of vehicles that travel through the atmosphere, and astronautics, the study of vehicles that travel through space, and ballistics, the study of the flight of projectil ...

Neighborhoods
A neighbourhood (British English, Irish English, Australian English and Canadian English) or neighborhood (American English; American and British English spelling differences, see spelling differences) is a geographically localised community within a larger city, town, suburb or rural area, sometimes consisting of a single street and the buildings lining it. Neighbourhoods are often social communities with considerable face-to-face interaction among members. Researchers have not agreed on an exact definition, but the following may serve as a starting point: "Neighbourhood is generally defined spatially as a specific geographic area and functionally as a set of social networks. Neighbourhoods, then, are the Neighbourhood unit, spatial units in which face-to-face social interactions occur—the personal settings and situations where residents seek to realise common values, socialise youth, and maintain effective social control." Preindustrial cities In the words of the urban sch ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
