Solutions
biggest and easiest way to remediation
what is vegetation growth
these two cycles are affected by urbanization
What are the water and carbon cycles
what is an example of mass transit that is most commonly used in big cities like NYC.
What is train or subway lines (I'll take either)
urbanization is the shift towards this away from this.
What is urban/cities and rural communities
this city has the most urban sprawl
a property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.
what is a brownfield
Movement of saline(seawater) into freshwater aquifers
what is seawater intrusion
due to this, getting to work and going to everyday places is easier and faster
what is everything is short distanced (I'll take something similar)
doing this prevents urban sprawl from happening.
what is urban planning
70% of the world's population is expected to live in these kinds of areas by 2050
What is Urban?
This decreases fossil fuel emissions from cars. Ex. expanding the subway line to go to further down state (another way to bring remediation)
what is expand transportation further
impermeable surfaces can lead to an increase in these two things (both of which can be reduced by growing vegetation)
what is increased runoff and increased flooding
what is fossil fuel emissions
diseases/sicknesses caused by overcrowding and urban sprawl can be either a physical disorder (asthma or obesity) or this
What is a mental disorder (depression or anxiety)
Rapid development and expansion in New York led to these two diseases spreading
What is cholera and smallpox
the design and regulation of the uses of space that focus on the physical form, economic functions, and social impacts of the urban environment and on the location of different activities within it.
what is urban planning
these two main reasons are why impermeable surfaces are bad for the environment
1st- water cant get through, not recharging those groundwater sources that even the city can depend on
2nd- when water land from rains, it has to go somewhere, natural slope of the lands lands in low surface soil areas or in bodies of water
not only does the lack of cars in big cities lower fossil fuel emissions, it also increases this which helps to make/keep you healthy and fit
what is exercise
the three causes stated in the presentation
What is transportation, quality of life, and economic
These two cities were the only mega-cities in 1970
Best way to raise albedo and decrease heat islands from happening. This cools down the temperatures as well.
What is growing vegetation.
urbanized areas that experience higher temperatures than outlying areas. Structures such as buildings, roads, and other infrastructure absorb and re-emit the sun's heat more than natural landscapes such as forests and water bodies.
what is a heat island
Overall, urban cities are just more this than rural cities as everything you need is close together
what is convenient
why is temperatures in the city higher than those sometimes in the rural areas
what is roads, asphalt, concrete
also vegetation causes higher albedo and thus is more reflective of the rays of the sun
this country has the most polluted and worst air quality
What is Bangladesh
