Urban sprawl may also be specified as the spreading of new development on isolated tracts, separated from other areas of the vacant land (Ottensmann, 1977). Urban sprawl may be specified as the spreading of new development on isolated tracts, separated from other areas by vacant land (Shekhar, 2005). The effect is an increment in the built up area and associated changes in the urban land usage practices, causing loss of rich agricultural lands, vegetation, land, fallow land and scrub land, loss in surface water bodies, depletion in ground water aquifers and increasing layers of air and water pollution; …show more content…

  • Gentrification Analysis

    804 Words  | 2 Pages

    Gentrification is defined as the process by which the wealthy or upper middle class uproot poorer individuals through the renovation and rebuilding of poor neighborhoods. Many long-term residents find themselves no longer able to afford to live in an area, where the rent and property values are increasing. Gentrification is a very controversial topic, revealing both the positive and negative aspects of the process. Some of the more desirable outcomes include reduced crime rate, increased economic activity, and the building of new infrastructures. However, it is debated whether the negatives overwhelm the positive. An increase in the number of evictions of low-income families, often racial minorities can lead to a decline of diversity

  • The Rise of Social Isolation in America is a Chief Factor in the Proliferation and Continuation of Suburban Sprawl

    1866 Words  | 4 Pages

    At the very backbone of the body of reasons for which sprawl has accelerated so much in recent decades is the changing social culture in America. One must remember that sprawl is all about people, and one of the greatest factors that drive the trends of their behavior is culture. It is true that there are many other factors (I.E. economic) at play in the manifestation of sprawl, but the factor of culture is what lies at the very core of the entire issue. This core is the argument that Americans have gradually moved toward a socially and individually isolated culture. Essentially, the American community has become more disjointed and impermanent, creating an atmosphere in which living in a more dense population has become undesirable.

    It is clear that urban consolidation can not solve the range of urban problems. It presents new dilemmas as it does not provide sufficient green space, limits people’s freedom, many people do not like living in an urban consolidated environment and it could potentially increase people’s time traveling out of the city. Planners must consider all these factors when assessing urban consolidation potential. Failure to do so could result in descent to achieve efficient, urban development.

    Suburban sprawl is linked to obesity and type two diabetes. This will be the first generation of children whom will have a shorter life span than that of their parents. Obese children are not physically fit and have now become morbidly obese in today’s society. This is due in part to the lack of places for children to achieve the necessary exercise they need due to safety concerns.

  • Urban Consolidation

    * Urban Professional^s recognition of the increased variability, robustness, and interest in both the urban area and their work. * Conservation Activist^s commendation of the lower consumption of resources, and reduced pressure on sensitive environment areas, suggestive of a reduction in urban sprawl. * The Development Industry^s equations of profit established through better and higher levels of land use. Essentially urban consolidation proposes an increase of either population or dwellings in an existing defined urban area (Roseth,1991). Furthermore, the suburban village seeks to establish this intensification within a more specific agenda, in which community is to be centred by public transport nodes, and housing choice is to be widened with increased diversity of housing type (Jackson,1998).

  • STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: M.S. City planning.

    886 Words  | 2 Pages

    Indeed, many global cities face compelling urban planning issues like urban sprawl, population, low density development, overuse of non-renewable natural recourses, social inequities and environmental degradation. These issues affect the cities themselves, the adjacent regions and often even globally. The resulting ecological footprint upsets the balance in adjacent rural and natural areas. Unplanned or organic development leads to urban sprawl, traffic problems, pollution and slums (as evident in the case of Mumbai city). Such unplanned development causes solid waste management and water supply to fall inadequate. Urban sprawl gives rise to low density development and car dependent communities, consequently leading to increased urban flooding, low energy efficiency, longer travel time and destruction of croplands, forests and open spaces for development.

  • Urbanization in Africa

    ...population distribution designed to reduce the rate of rural-urban migration appears to have had limited success in many developing countries. Policies must be directed at altering the rural economy in order to slow the rate of urban sprawl. Broad land use planning and changing of planning standards and governmental procedures would go a long way to reduce many of the problems that face urban populations in the developing areas, especially Africa. Urbanization can cause a lot of problems for a city or even a country. It can cause cities to become overpopulated which are known as mega-cites, and cause problems with living arrangements and finding a job. Urbanization can also cause health problems. Urbanization is supposed to be good for developing countries on the rise but with this rapid growth in Africa, these problems can become a major concern in the future.
