The purpose of this article is to present the city of Mesa, in Arizona, in which efforts are taken to adopt “modern urban design” (“City”, 2008, para 3). Indeed, the idea of developing a new part of the city according to urban development is a drastic change in the city that mostly had only one-story high buildings and looked like a regular American suburb. Changes are adopted in a part of the city close to the airport in order to facilitate long distance transport that can help the development of the city.
