Negros Occidental

Negros Occidental (Filipino: Kanlurang Negros; Hiligaynon: Negros Nakatundan), also known as Occidental Negros or Western Negros is a province in the Philippines located in the Negros Island region. Its capital is Bacolod City and it occupies the northwestern half of Negros Island; Negros Oriental is at the southeastern half. Across the Panay Gulf and the Guimaras Strait to the northwest is the island-province of Guimaras and the province of Iloilo on Panay Island. Known as the "Sugarbowl of the Philippines", Negros Occidental produces more than half the nation's sugar output.

The primary spoken language is Hiligaynon (also known as Ilonggo) and the predominant religious denomination is Roman Catholicism. With a population of 3,100,651, it is the most populated province in the Negros Island Region, the second-most populous province in the Visayas after Cebu and the fifth most populous province of Philippines.

History

Negros Island was originally known to the natives as "Buglas". When the Spaniards arrived in April 1565, they named it "Negros" because of the dark-skinned natives they found. Two of the earliest native settlements were Binalbagan and Ilog which later became towns in 1572 and 1584, respectively. Other settlements were Hinigaran, Negros Occidental, Bago, Marayo (now Pontevedra), Mamalan (now Himamaylan) and Candaguit (a sitio in San Enrique).

City Central

City Central is a Business Improvement District (BID) representing approximately 630 businesses in the retail and leisure heart of Liverpool city centre. The BID covers 49 acres and includes 61 streets: Bold Street, Church Street, Lord Street, the Cavern Quarter, Whitechapel, Williamson Square, Queen Square, Ranelagh Street and all inter-connecting streets. Key shopping centres located within the City Central area include: Cavern Walks, Clayton Square, Metquarter and St. Johns.

The BID raises a 1.2% levy on the annual business rates of its members to fund a five-year programme that enhances the public services of the local authority to provide a safe, clean, attractive and well promoted trading area within Liverpool city centre.

Its core aim is to enhance the experience for shoppers, visitors and workers to the city centre and establish the high standards necessary to support Liverpool’s reputation as a premier European city.

The BID sits under the umbrella of Liverpool BID Company and is a company limited by guarantee. It reports quarterly to an Executive Board and also to an Operating Board whose members are re-elected annually at its A.G.M. The BID will seek to enter a third term through a ballot of its members in May 2013, which would run until October 31, 2018.

City

A city is a large and permanent human settlement. Although there is no agreement on how a city is distinguished from a town in general English language meanings, many cities have a particular administrative, legal, or historical status based on local law.

Cities generally have complex systems for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing, and transportation. The concentration of development greatly facilitates interaction between people and businesses, benefiting both parties in the process, but it also presents challenges to managing urban growth.

A big city or metropolis usually has associated suburbs and exurbs. Such cities are usually associated with metropolitan areas and urban areas, creating numerous business commuters traveling to urban centers for employment. Once a city expands far enough to reach another city, this region can be deemed a conurbation or megalopolis. In terms of population, the largest city proper is Shanghai, while the fastest-growing is Dubai.

Origins

There is not enough evidence to assert what conditions gave rise to the first cities. Some theorists have speculated on what they consider suitable pre-conditions and basic mechanisms that might have been important driving forces.
