Urbanization and Environmental Sustainability: Assessing the Impacts of Rapid Urban Growth
Keywords:
Urbanization, Environmental sustainability, Rapid urban growth, Land use change, Air qualityAbstract
The effects of urbanization on environmental sustainability, focusing on the challenges and opportunities associated with rapid urban growth. Through spatial analysis and remote sensing techniques, we assess changes in land use, ecosystem services, and air and water quality in urban areas. interactions between urban development, environmental degradation, and resource management, offering insights for policymakers and urban planners on promoting sustainable urbanization strategies.
