The breakdown of traditional communal practices and values, particularly in rapidly urbanizing areas, often leads to increased pollution and the expansion of slums. As people migrate to cities for economic opportunities, the loss of traditional land stewardship results in unsustainable resource use and environmental degradation. Additionally, the lack of infrastructure and planning in these burgeoning urban areas contributes to the proliferation of slums, where waste management and sanitation are severely inadequate. This combination exacerbates pollution and deteriorates living conditions for inhabitants.
The breakdown of traditions can lead to increased pollution as traditional practices that promoted sustainability may be abandoned. The expansion of slums contributes to negative aspects such as poor living conditions, overcrowding, and inadequate access to basic services like sanitation and clean water.
increased pollution
Expansion can potentially lead to overcrowding, increased demand on resources, strain on infrastructure, and environmental degradation. It can also disrupt natural habitats, increase pollution, and exacerbate social inequalities. Managing expansion carefully is essential to mitigate these problems and ensure sustainable development.
Physical changes due to the expansion of cities include increased urban sprawl, deforestation for construction, higher levels of air and water pollution, loss of green spaces, and increased traffic congestion. These changes can have negative impacts on the environment and human health.
The use of chemicals and fuel in factories resulted in increased air and water pollution and an increased use of fuel.
