It contributes to society and modernisation but it has its drawbacks. AT least it is not more harmfull than other things such as pollution. Concrete is manmade stone, and in itself it does not harm the environment, but when grass and trees are eliminated to pour concrete, the process is never reversed. Once land is "developed," in this way, no one ever breaks up the concrete to let the grass and trees grow again. So the fault is not with the concrete, but with its overuse.
