Urban areas in Pakistan are more polluted than rural areas primarily due to high population density, industrial activities, and increased vehicular emissions. The concentration of factories and construction sites in cities contributes significantly to air and water pollution. Additionally, inadequate waste management and limited green spaces exacerbate environmental degradation in urban settings. In contrast, rural areas generally have lower industrial activity and more open land, leading to relatively cleaner environments.
Approximately 40-50% of Pakistan's population (around 80-100 million people) live in urban areas, which include cities and towns. The urban population in Pakistan has been steadily increasing due to rural to urban migration and natural population growth.
