URBAN DEVELOPMENT
• 1. Urban Development
Definition: Urban development refers to the process of land development in
urban areas, including the construction of buildings, infrastructure, and public
spaces. It encompasses planning, design, and implementation of various
urban projects aimed at improving living conditions, economic opportunities,
and environmental sustainability.(Hall, P. (2002).
• 2. Urban Ecosystem
• Definition: An urban ecosystem is a complex network of living
organisms (humans, plants, animals) and their physical environment
in urban settings. It includes interactions between biotic (living) and
abiotic (non-living) components within the urban context.(McKinney,
M. L. (2002).
3. Urban Landscape
Definition: The urban landscape refers to the visible features of an urban area, including
buildings, parks, roads, and other infrastructure that shape the physical environment of a
city. The urban landscape is influenced by cultural, historical, and social factors. It reflects
the identity of a city and affects residents' quality of life. Effective urban landscape design
considers aesthetics, functionality, and ecological impacts.(Relph, E. (1976).
4. Urban Land Management
Definition: Urban land management involves the planning and regulation of land use in urban
areas to optimize the use of land resources for economic development while ensuring
environmental sustainability and social equity.(UN-Habitat. (2016).

Physical Pattern and Form of Urban Growth and Sprawl


Definition: The physical pattern and form of urban growth refer to how cities expand over
time in terms of spatial arrangement and land use. Urban sprawl describes the uncontrolled
expansion of urban areas into surrounding rural land.( Hamidi, S. (2014).
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN URBAN AND SPRAWL IN
COMPARISION

urban sprawl
• Compact development • Low-density, single-use zoning (e.g.,
residential neighborhoods separated
• Mixed land uses (residential, from commercial areas)
commercial, industrial)
• Dependence on automobiles for
• Public transportation availability transportation
• Walkability and accessibility • Lack of public transportation options
• Higher density housing • Increased land consumption and
environmental impact
(apartments, condos)
• Often leads to longer commutes and
infrastructure strain
HOW INDUSTRIALIZATION CAUSES THE ENERGY INEFFICIENCIE
Industrialization can lead to energy inefficiencies through several mechanisms:
1. Increased Energy Demand: As industries expand, they often require more energy for
production processes, machinery, and transportation. This heightened demand can strain
existing energy systems and lead to inefficient energy use.
2. Outdated Technology: Many industrial sectors rely on older machinery and technology that
are less energy-efficient. Upgrading to modern, energy-efficient equipment can be costly and is
often delayed, resulting in higher energy consumption.

HOW INDUSTRIALIZATION CAUSES IMPACTS OF WATER QUALITY AND QUANTITY


Industrialization can significantly impact both water quality and quantity in various ways. Here
are some of the key effects:
Impact on Water Quality
1. Pollution Discharge:
• Industrial Effluents: Factories often discharge untreated or inadequately treated wastewater
containing harmful chemicals, heavy metals, and toxins into rivers and lakes, leading to severe
water pollution.
• Nutrient Runoff: Industries, especially agriculture and food processing, can contribute to
nutrient runoff (nitrogen and phosphorus), which leads to eutrophication, causing algal blooms
and oxygen depletion.
2. Chemical Contaminants:
• Toxic Substances: The use of hazardous materials in manufacturing processes can
result in chemical spills and leaks, contaminating nearby water sources. ?

• Persistent Pollutants: Some industrial chemicals do not break down easily and can
accumulate in water bodies, affecting aquatic life and human health.
3. Thermal Pollution:
• Cooling Water Discharge: Industries that use water for cooling may discharge heated
water back into natural water bodies, raising temperatures and disrupting aquatic
ecosystems.
• Impact on Water Quantity

• 1. Increased Water Demand:

• • High Consumption: Industrial processes often require large volumes of water for
cooling, processing, and cleaning, leading to increased demand on local water supplies.

• • Competition with Other Uses: As industries grow, they can compete with agricultural
and domestic users for limited water resources.
2. Groundwater Depletion:
• Over-extraction: Industries that rely on groundwater can lead to over-extraction, lowering the water
table and affecting the availability of water for other uses.
• Subsidence: Excessive groundwater withdrawal can cause land subsidence, further impacting water
availability.

HOW INDUSTRIALIZATION CAUSES PUBLIC AND SOCIAL HEALTH


Industrialization can have profound effects on public and social health, both positively and
negatively. Here are some key impacts:
Negative Impacts on Public and Social Health
1. Air Pollution:
• Respiratory Diseases: Emissions from factories, vehicles, and industrial processes can lead
to poor air quality, resulting in respiratory issues like asthma, bronchitis, and other chronic
diseases.
• Cardiovascular Problems: Long-term exposure to air pollutants is linked to heart disease
and stroke.
2. Water Pollution:
• Contaminated Drinking Water: Industrial discharge can contaminate water supplies with
heavy metals and chemicals, leading to serious health issues such as cancer,
3. Chemical Exposure:
• Toxic Substances: Workers in industrial settings may be exposed to hazardous
chemicals, leading to acute and chronic health issues, including cancers and reproductive
health problems.
• Community Exposure: Nearby populations may also be at risk from chemical spills or
leaks.
• Positive Impacts on Public and Social Health

• 1. Economic Growth:

• Job Creation: Industrialization can create jobs, improving economic stability and access
to healthcare and education for communities.

• Infrastructure Development: Increased industrial activity often leads to improved


infrastructure, including transportation and healthcare facilities.

2. Advancements in Medicine and Technology:

• Healthcare Innovations: Industrial processes have led to advancements in


pharmaceuticals and medical technologies that improve public health outcomes.

• Public Health Initiatives: Economic growth can fund public health initiatives, improving
overall community health and health awareness.
