About this ebook
Urban Growth explores the pervasive phenomenon of cities expanding and the resulting challenges to sustainability and equity. It examines the drivers and patterns behind urban sprawl, demonstrating how unchecked growth leads to environmental degradation and social inequity. For example, the book shows how globalization and technological advancements have shaped urban landscapes since the Industrial Revolution.
The book argues that through sustainable development strategies and innovative planning, cities can enhance residents' quality of life while minimizing environmental impact. Beginning with core principles and historical context, it progresses through factors driving urban expansion, consequences of rapid urbanization, and strategies for sustainable growth, such as transit-oriented development.
What makes this work unique is its emphasis on practical solutions and a focus on equity and inclusion.
