 Lyon, France
Lyon is the chief town of the Rhône-Alpes région, the préfecture of the Rhône département, the chief town of the arrondissement of Lyon, and the chief town of 14 cantons, covering 1 commune, and with a total population of 445,452 (1999).
Lyon was founded in 43 BC by the Roman Empire, who named it Lugdunum after the Celtic sun god Lugh ("shining one").
In 843, by the Treaty of Verdun, Lyon, with the country beyond the Saône, went to Lothair I. Fernand Braudel remarked, "Historians of Lyon are not sufficiently alert to the bi-polarity between Paris and Lyon, which is a constant structure in French development" from the late Middle Ages to the Industrial Revolution (Braudel 1984 p.327).

 Executive Summary - Lyon County Fire Plan - Nevada Community Wildfire Risk / Hazard Assessment - RCI
This report was prepared specifically for the communities in Lyon County identified in the 2001 Federal Register list of communities at risk within the vicinity of federal lands that are most vulnerable to the threat of wildfire.
Four primary factors that affect potential fire hazard were assessed to reach the community hazard assessment score: community design, structure survivability, availability of fire suppression resources, and physical conditions such as the vegetative fuel load and topography.
Fuel treatments are recommended near these communities on both public and private lands in Lyon County to reduce the fuel hazard and the potential for the worst-case wildfire scenario.

 Lyon Overview | Lyon City Guide | iExplore.com
Two hours from the alpine ski resorts and three hours from the sea, Lyon – the capital of the Rhône-Alpes region and the second largest contributor to the French economy after Paris – is more than worthy of a detour on the way to the sun or the ski slopes.
As a city, Lyon is characterized by contrasts in its setting, between its two hills – the Fourvière and Croix-Rousse – and between its two rivers – the Rhone and the Sâone.
Lyon also demonstrates its mixed heritage, by displaying traits of a typical northern French town in some areas, while other features bear witness to its Latin heritage.

 First Forum of the World Alliance of Cities Against Poverty: Workshops
In this region, which still exhibits a strong rural component, it is in the urban centres that social practices, cultural creativity, and economic dynamism are being elaborated to determine to a large extent the outline of XXI century Africa.
In the case of Dakar, the urban poverty profile is heavily influenced by uprooted, often illiterate, rural migrants, who form a social class exhibiting very limited integration into the economic and social life of the city.
Public urban development strategies between 1970 and 1990 were not favourable to these poor, in the sense that they promoted their settling in peripheral zones with poor urban infrastructure.

 12.0 Silver Springs - Lyon County Fire Plan - Nevada Community Wildfire Risk / Hazard Assessment - RCI
The low community hazard rating is attributed primarily to adequate accessibility, fire suppression resources, fire-resistant construction materials, and defensible space around homes.
The urban interface condition in Silver Springs can be described as predominantly intermix, where homes have been built on large lots with wildland fuels often contiguous up to each residence.
Increased public education on fire safety is critical in communities that have rapidly growing populations, especially when many of the areas being developed are larger lots intermixed with wildland fuels.

In California at present, 60 percent of all new housing is being built in a community association.
At that time the problems of America's urban areas—some of which had burned recently in riots—were at the forefront of public attention.
The rise of the neighborhood association was thus seen as a parochial and divisive turn away from the higher ideals of a unified national community.
