Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I picked this article to evaluate because it is a topic I have been interested in since a couple semesters ago when I read very surface level about it. I also picked this article because it is the article I am going to be working on during this semester.

Evaluate the article
{| class="wikitable" Complete your article evaluation below. Here are the key aspects to consider:
 * Evaluate an article
 * Evaluate an article

Lead section
A good lead section defines the topic and provides a concise overview. A reader who just wants to identify the topic can read the first sentence. A reader who wants a very brief overview of the most important things about it can read the first paragraph. A reader who wants a quick overview can read the whole lead section.


 * Does the lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? yes
 * Does the lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? yes
 * Does the lead include information that is not present in the article? (It shouldn't.) no
 * Is the lead concise or is it overly detailed? it is in the middle. concise at the start but more detailed at the bottom.

Content
A good Wikipedia article should cover all the important aspects of a topic, without putting too much weight on one part while neglecting another.


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic? yes
 * Is the content up-to-date? yes
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? no
 * Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics? This topic addresses topics related to historically underrepresented topics.

Tone and Balance
Wikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point of view; if there are substantial differences of interpretation or controversies among published, reliable sources, those views should be described as fairly as possible.


 * Is the article neutral? yes
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? no
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? no
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another? no

Sources and References
A Wikipedia article should be based on the best sources available for the topic at hand. When possible, this means academic and peer-reviewed publications or scholarly books.


 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? yes
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic? yes
 * Are the sources current? yes
 * Are there better sources available, such as peer-reviewed articles in place of news coverage or random websites? (You may need to do some digging to answer this.) The sources in this article are mostly academic
 * Check a few links. Do they work? yes

Organization and writing quality
The writing should be clear and professional, the the content should be organized sensibly into sections.


 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? yes
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors? no
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic? yes

Images and Media

 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic? yes
 * Are images well-captioned? yes
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way? yes

Talk page discussion
The article's talk page — and any discussions among other Wikipedia editors that have been taking place there — can be a useful window into the state of an article, and might help you focus on important aspects that you didn't think of.


 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? I don't think we have talked about this really in class, at least not present day. I feel like in class we talk more about historical things.

Overall impressions

 * What is the article's overall status? good
 * What are the article's strengths? The strengths are that the article is organized and has examples of the topic in sections
 * How can the article be improved? This article can be improved by developing more on Urban Planning and what all goes into it
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed? This article is not poorly developed but it still has a lot of room for growth
