Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Tom Bishop

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion

Nathanael Hewitt (asker) Dec 14, 2008:
Clarification On other pages, under other headings, residential development and land market/use are discussed. But on this page and under the current heading it seems to speak only of public area development in urban outskirts.
Lisa Mann Dec 14, 2008:
Is the rest of your text only about the construction of public areas? Or is that just a part of it?

It really depends on the context of your text. Does it go on to talk about the construction of others spaces/areas? If not, then I would say it is 'based on' / with regard to /
