Effects Of Urbanization

I was charged with the immense task of writing an executive summary on the state of our nation in regards to urbanization. Though this is a large and some may say difficult task I am surely up for the challenge. Outsiders looking in on the United States may say that though the U.S has a few problems, for the most part, it is doing well as a country. I argue against that, though compared to other countries it may seem that it is safer with a well-organized government that is just a facade. Though on the "outside" America may seem like it a pleasant place the only thing separating it from many third world countries is our government and big businesses. Aside from that America can be compared to the Wild West with it is massive amounts of violence

Rapid urbanisation has caused a variety of problems, including transport congestion, lack of sufficient homes and living conditions, sanitary and health care issues, and crime. For all these problems, city planners have attempted potential solutions, each with varying degrees of success. Cities including London, Manila and Mumbai have several of the aforementioned problems, and have each tried their own potential solutions. This essay will discuss how successful these schemes have been in resolving these issues.

When we speak of the term urbanization – the outward expansion of human population from the city-centre, many feel the sense of triumph about the current living conditions, and are enlightened to do great works on the planet. Of course, it is not wrong if one feels this sense of triumph at first, but the ambiguity comes when the environmental aspect is placed in the talk. In this capitalistic world where money and status are worshiped, many negative effects associated with urbanization are being forgotten or dismissed.

No matter how strenuous it may be for an urban area to prevent an outbreak from occurring, it is still inevitable. Many organizations have tried to educate the population about the cause of diseases and how to prevent it. Although this method displays a decrease in certain diseases, it still occurs. However, instead of just attempting to prevent these diseases, a profound amount of cures have been discovered to treat it. Throughout multiple sources, such as online articles and lectures on the Industrial Revolution, it is unambiguous that the human race spreads disease through unsanitary environments, direct physical contact, and lack of knowledge, but society adapts to these situations and restrains the expansion of diseases by improved safety

During an epidemic I would anticipate the local health system would be taxed in order to respond to the number of cases impacted by the outbreak. Utilization of the current health care settings, whether it be primary physician offices, Urgent Care or the Emergency Department the ability to triage, staff and provide supplies for these facilities would be challenging. Additional facilities may be incorporated into the reporting system in order to function as overflow from these clinic sites

Throughout history, infectious diseases have impacted communities around the world. Outbreaks of bacteria and viruses in the past have damaged cities and devastated populations. Over the years, new developments in technology have led to advances in medicine and health. The great strides that have been made over the years have helped improve the lives of individuals and have led to a better environment.

Urbanization is a concept that is deeply rooted in the increase in a population within a region in response to the availability of unique opportunities. The opportunities may include the availability of employment chances in factories, investments opportunities in the urban areas, and the presence of sufficient housing and social infrastructure. It is apparent that urbanization began centuries ago in different regions of the world. However, the development of suburban areas has also been an interesting phenomenon over the centuries. Initially, people strived to live in the luxurious houses in major towns and cities. Nevertheless, there was a gradual shift in the desire to live in the cities when various negative impacts of overpopulation

Air quality is also affected by other mechanisms such as airborne toxins that arise from freshwater such as cyanobacteria (Health Implications of Drought…n.d.). Wildfire adds more soot, smoke, and particles to the air (Health Implications of Drought…n.d.). Agricultural dust also pollutes the air through soil erosion from improper farming and exposed bare land in between crops (Drought Measures for Dust Mitigation….n.d.). Increased temperature is not only producing more aeroallergens by earlier flower productions such as pollen and mold spores but also is potential for increasing the allergenicity (A Human Health Perspective .... (n.d.).A research found evidence that particulate matter in the polluted air also affects the environment as it can reduce precipitation in dry regions or seasons and also increase the heat in the atmosphere (Air Pollution a Culprit in Worsening ... (n.d.). A vicious cycle has started where we are creating more pollutants through various activities in everyday life; the environment is becoming warmer, less precipitation, air is getting more condensed. These particulates and toxins threaten health status of the population living there, irritating air passage, worsening chronic and acute respiratory infections (Health Implications of

Urbanization is currently having a huge effect on civilization causing appalling living conditions, widespread disease, and a influx in crime; which is shortening peoples lives. This terrible event is being caused by the appearance of Industrialization. With the increase of machine-based job availability in factories that are alongside each other thousands of people are flooding to nearby cities that are not prepared for them. With many unprepared cities doubling or even tripling in population and nothing to keep them in order the cities are covered in dirty, leftover trash and the housing often includes full families in small, damp, bare rooms. These unfitting environments are the reason people are often coming down with illnesses that are easily spread to become epidemics that can effect everyone.

With the advent of globalization and industrialization, urban migration and expansion of cities have become a global trend. South American nations are amongst being most rapid urbanized countries. As more people migrate to urban areas in search of better work opportunities, the cities here are growing in size and number (Ferguson & Navarrete, 2003). This problem is native to not just Latin American countries but is a major concern for most of the developing world. As estimated by the UN (United Nations, 2016), 3 billion people or about 40% of the world population would be living in substandard housing as a result of urban expansions and population growth. This is perceived to be a direct impact of rapid urbanization and excessive strain on

Recently, urbanization has become the newest form of progress. However, it seems that urbanization has created some unforeseen problems. Bocquier suggests “economic uncertainties that prevail in most urban settings lead to a deterioration of living conditions…this deterioration particularly affects the urban poor” (pg. 1). As society began to change and progress at such a quick pace, many people have been left behind and have had to adapt to survive to their new environments.

The Economic boom from factories connection to air pollution is unconventional. The reason factories stay open is only for the monopoly it has over monetary distress. The economical perspective affects the health concerns beyond a doubt. Nearly 5-6 million people die every year due to an illness related to air pollution. The pollution is tremendously bad in China, which the people of China have to stay inside their homes with the windows shut at all times. China has faced their first “red alert” which has put a halt to usage of motor vehicles, and factories stopped operation. People all over the world are suffering from air pollution, some cases worse than others. Urbanization constantly grows each year which contributes to air pollution which has an immense impact on the

The process of people moving into cities, which is called urbanisation, was happening around the world in past decades. It causes cities to have more labourers and resources than before. This makes a big contribution to the social development of cities. Thanks to these social developments, public services are becoming better in these areas. Citizens can enjoy a better life by access these public services such as better medical care, more education resources and well-built transport. It means an equitable society can be created. An equitable society means citizens can have more opportunities to access social resources and to live a better life. This essay will argue that

Air pollution is one of the major problems in the world. It is influenced by four major factors, such as industrialization in the cities, increase in traffic, rapid economic development, and higher level of energy consumption. The growth of both an industrial and residential area is unplanned in many developing cities of India, thus, it contributing to the air pollution problems. In urban areas, the mobile or vehicular population is predominant and significantly contributes to air quality problems. In recent past, air pollutants, responsible for vegetation injury and crop yield losses, are causing increased concern. Air pollution is one of the serious problems in the world, its facing today. It deteriorates ecological condition and can be defined as the fluctuation in any atmospheric constituent from the value that would have existed without human activity .It has been observed that plants particularly growing in the urban areas affected greatly due to varieties of pollutants (oxides of nitrogen and sulphur, hydrocarbon, ozone, particulate matters, hydrogen fluoride, peroxyacyl nitrates (PAN) etc.) .Chlorophyll is found

In the research by the Statista, it gives a graph to show passenger and commercial vehicle sales in China from 2008 to October 2015. About three million commercial vehicles and sixteen million passenger vehicles had been sold in China (Statista, 2015). According to the research, Beijing has over six million on its road. The huge number of vehicles also stand for the release of plenty of automobile exhaust in China. The automobile exhaust makes the smog problem be more serious. Because of the urbanization, the green belts are reducing. Most of cities prefer to build more buildings in the center of the cities. Everyone know plants are the important roles to absorb dirty air and release fresh air. However, the urbanization breaks this cycle. In addition, the air has its own self purification capacity, which is an ability to clean itself. However, the progress of self purification capacity is slow because of the rapid development of cities. The air does not have enough time to clean itself and the ability become weaker. The reduction of plants and the increase of automobile exhaust make the smog problem become the most serious problem in China.
