Urbanization and its effect on environmentHILLFORT
Urbanisation and its effect on environment explains both positive and negative impacts in a broad sense. I took help from many study materials available over internet and library and tried to make a brief out of them. Hope, this presentation will help new learners to visualise the real scenario. Students of Urban Planning, Architecture, Environmental Planning, Law and sociology can use it for their reference.
Urbanization refers to an increase in the proportion of people living in urban areas compared to rural areas. As countries industrialize, more people migrate from rural to urban areas for employment in factories. This led to the development of inner cities with dense rows of terraced housing for workers.
Urbanization can cause problems like congestion, lack of housing, and environmental issues. Many cities also have sharp inequalities in housing, health, and employment. Some try to escape these problems through counter-urbanization or moving to the edges of cities. Long-term solutions involve making cities more sustainable.
Urbanization refers to the increasing proportion of people living in cities and suburbs. It is closely connected to industrialization, as factories located in cities and drew workers. The main causes of urbanization are the industrial revolution, emergence of large manufacturing centers, job opportunities, and availability of transportation. Chicago's population grew from 15 people in 1820 to over 1.6 million in 1898, reflecting the effects of urbanization. Positive effects include opportunities not available in rural areas and a higher standard of living in cities. However, rapid urbanization also led to issues like overcrowding, lack of sanitation, unemployment, poverty, and increased crime rates.

Flat Stanley traveled about 1000 miles to visit a farm in rural Manitoba, Canada where winters are very cold and snowy. At the farm, Flat Stanley met a horse named Cheyenne that stays outside all winter, helped feed sheep and lost part of himself in the process, and also encountered a cat that sleeps in straw bales to stay warm and chickens that live in a barn to survive the winter weather. The family had fun hosting Flat Stanley and showing him around their winter farm activities.
Stanley had several transportation options to get around New York without a car, including walking, taking a taxi, or riding the subway. While in a taxi, Stanley asked his driver to slow down because he was going too fast. Most people use the subway, which requires a metro card each time and costs $2.25 per ride, with different colored trains going to different neighborhoods. Stanley followed a map so he didn't get lost on his travels around the city.
Stanley ate a typical New York breakfast of coffee and a French toast bagel from The Bagel Store in Brooklyn. For lunch he had a plain cheese pizza from one of New York's many pizzerias. He also bought fruit from a local farmers market and drank orange juice labeled "NY OJ" throughout the day. Stanley then ordered groceries including vegetables for a salad online to be delivered to his home the next day, as over half of New Yorkers do not own a car.
Stanley enjoys the expansive views of New York City landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and Times Square from a rooftop in Brooklyn. Some interesting facts about these landmarks are that the Statue of Liberty weighs 450,000 lbs, the Empire State Building has 102 floors, and Times Square attracts thousands each New Years Eve for its ball drop countdown.
Stanley spent much of his time at the park swinging and also went with his dog Penny to the designated dog park area within the larger city park where dogs can play since many New York City dogs do not have backyards of their own.
