We can interpret the concept of sustainable development in more than one way, but
within its content is a development project that seeks to balance the different needs
and often the competition, as opposed to the awareness of the environmental, social
and economic constraints we face as a community, more than 50 per cent of people
worldwide Live in cities, and the World Health Organization predicts that this proportion
will continue to rise. People migrate to cities for many reasons, including family links
and career opportunities. Urbanization changes the economic, social and political
situation of a country or region and has many major negative effects. Air pollution,
suspended particulate matter in the air comes from combustion of automotive fuel by
exhaust. Dust, lead and smoke form particles. They pose a serious threat to health. Lead
alone has great damage to the brain of the human mind, learning difficulties and early
death in children, and some solutions can be found to solve such damage as,Combating
poverty by promoting economic development and job creation, involving the local
community in local government
Intensified urban growth may cause greater poverty, with governments unable to
provide assistance to all people, and increased reliance on energy may lead to increased
air pollution with a major adverse impact on human health. Cities are usually at a high
level of accumulation and overcrowding in activities Which are complex populations
supported by transport systems. The larger the city, the more complex it is and the
potential for health problems, especially when this complex process is poorly managed.
Urban productivity depends heavily on the efficiency of the transport system in
transporting workers, consumers and shipping between producers and multiple
destinations. Traffic congestion, parking difficulties, is one of the most common
transport problems in large urban gatherings, usually exceeding the threshold of about
one million people. By the 21st century, drivers were spending about 3 times more time
in congestion than they did in the latter part of the 20th century. One of the important
factors behind this trend is the affordability of housing where housing is located away
from central areas (The Geography of Transport Systems,urban transport challenges). We
can find solutions to these problems by devising tough policies to reduce urban
encroachment, such as setting a certain limit in each area, making some fines and
reusing them to take care of The environment.
So is everything about caring for the environment?Living within our
environmental range is one of the fundamental principles of sustainable
development. One of the consequences of not doing so is pollution and
climate change.But the focus on sustainable development is much broader
than just taking care of the environment. It is also a guarantee of a strong,
healthy and just society which is a good investment for the future. This
means fulfilling the diverse needs of all people in current and future
societies, promoting personal well-being, social cohesion and integration,
and creating greater opportunities for all.
How does this affect me?,The way we deal with development affects
everyone. Making environmental decisions in the community affects
everyone directly or indirectly. Poor planning of communities, for example,
reduces the quality of life of people living in them.Sustainable development
provides an approach to better decision-making on issues that affect our
lives. By developing health plans that suit current life, for example, we can
ensure that people are easily accessible to health care and recreation
facilities.)sustainable development commission ,what is sustainable
development).
Urbanization solutions,Despite the progress of China economically, but still
suffer from problems in the standard of living of the individual and then
because of non-urbanization also brings benefits as if creating new
opportunities and wide openness to the world ,Urbanization has a
systematic and equitable system for everyone in society,(mckinsey and
company,the Urbanization solutions,lu mai)
Urbanization poses a danger to the environment if it is dealt with in the
wrong way, which is already happening now, we can benefit from
urbanization in one way or another we can develop a clean environment
for cities in which we can expand our living areas without harm to the
environment. In this regard will not care about him, although the damage
caused by it affects everyone, setting up an environmental regulatory body
that limits toxic emissions is very necessary.
