This has a positive impact in regard to production and industries continue to expand. As a result of urbanization, the economy of the country is impacted positively as production in industries increase. Another positive result of urbanization in India is expansion of investments especially in real estate (Nath, 2007). This is a major step towards economic development of the country as more housing units continue to be constructed. The demand for housing in the urban cities in India is very high as people move from rural areas to urban cities.
Lots of people means over crowded places. Then, people produce garbage, and being a big population they will not recollect the contamination as fast as it is produced being an important pollution cause on the world. Besides waste, another way to see that population growth as a cause of pollution is that cities become being bigger and as big is the city, big is the pollution on it. Also, Transports are another source of pollution related with population growth. For example, a research found that USA 60% of the gas pollution is caused by auto vehicles.
Changing Urban Environments: What are the characteristics and causes of urbanisation? (Urbanisation=a process where an increasing proportion of the population lives in towns and cities) Causes: Rural-urban migration and natural increase. Rural urban migration works because of push and pull factors bringing someone from the countryside to the city. Pushes factors include bad living quality and pull factors include better jobs. Natural increase is where more people come into the city because of natural factors such as more births.
Lacia Vaughan 5 November 2012 ENGWR 102 The Effects of Urban and Rural Living What is the difference between Urban and Rural living? What are the pros and cons of living either of these different lives? Lets us see. Urban Sprawl is the uncontrolled spread of urban areas, usually taking place on the outskirts of cities, involving the mass construction of residential areas and commercial buildings. Two causes for this being the fact that land and housing costs are cheaper compared to cities, and higher property and business taxes have pushed businesses to the suburbs where taxes are typically low.
(More detail plus facts). However, there are other push and pull factors aside from transportation that have been significant in terms of their contribution to suburbanisation. Firstly in almost all CBD’s there are high levels of pollution caused by industry, high population
Due to the history of these sites, many will be contaminated and pose threats to health and the environment. Furthermore, Brownfield sites are more expensive to develop than floodplains or Greenfield land because they usually require a lot of regeneration to get them up to standard. On the other hand, there are many benefits of building on Brownfield sites. In England, the government has said that sixty per cent of all new homes should now be built on Brownfield sites as they offer the opportunity to recycle used land, therefore protecting Greenfield sites and promoting sustainability. They also allow for the use of existing sewage systems and services such as transport.
Urban Sprawl: currently urban sprawl is the most colossal phenomenon our world is experiencing - Urban sprawl is known as an uncontrollable spread of urban development the concept includes spreading outwards from a cities core to low density suburbs that are automobile dependent urban development on the outskirts of the city is growing faster than development of the infrastructure, due to the intensive growth of suburbs Disadvantages: - Urban sprawl contributes to the degradation of our natural environment,air quality and water resources,as well as the consumption of agricultural lands and other natural resources so critical to the future economy. inefficient use of land/ infrastructure - inefficient use of infrastructure, and isolated communities carry with them high social, environmental, and economic costs. These costs not only undermine the high quality of life that Ontarians expect, but also severely reduce the Province’s ability to attract skilled workers and compete with other jurisdictions around the world. low density dependence on automobiles: inefficient land use, often found at the edge of town or in rural areas Loss of farm land - natural resources, endangerment of species Advantages: Economic stimulation: the development being created by urban sprawl is creating many new job opportunities (1.7 million jobs are expected to be created by 2031), helping to continue the growth of our economy. Lower Land prices: Developers are buying land further away from the inner rings of the Greater Golden Horseshoe, this is due to low purchase prices Single family homes: the fact that they are building on the outer lines of the GGH, it gives them to build housing in areas of low density zoning lower crime rate in the suburbs, How did we get to this point?
Issues are views or concerns that people may hold about a feature or event which may be beneficial or problematic. Examples of urban issues are crime, pollution and overpopulation. Overpopulation is an issue which is rapidly affecting cities across the globe, and can have a detrimental impact on urban areas. Hyper-urbanisation is a problem which can stem from this. This is caused when a city’s population increases at a faster rate than the growth of economic and industrial development, which results in a strain on resources.
Evaluation of the Engines Impact on Society The Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester introduces some exhibits and inventions, which have an influence on human being. This essay will mention some of the engines from the power hall，and evaluate their impact on society with the negative aspects and the positive aspects. It is obvious that some engines have negative effect on the environment and the natural resources of the world. The more quickly the population grows, the more the engines are used. The inefficient engines consume too many resources so that people are anxious about that.
Car exhaust causes pollution such as carbon dioxide which is caused from the burning of fuel. This is a major issue for our environment but an even larger issue in urbanized areas. These areas have millions of cars on the road everyday producing a massive amount of air pollutions to one congested area. This is one leaning factor to Global Warming. With urbanization comes expansion when this happens cities must make more roads, buildings, roads and homes to accommodate its population.
