I chose my topic because it is interesting.
What is urban development
Well urban development is when people build on green space and start tearing down trees to make space for buildings and houses. The runoff from the increased pavement goes into storm sewers, which then goes into streams and pollutes it. Globally over 50% of the population lives in urban area today.by 2045 world’s population will by increase by 1.5 times to 7 BILLION!As population has grown, so has the demand for housing, food and cloth. As more cities and towns are developed, they have resulted in increase use of fertilizers to produce more food, soil erosion due to deforestation, increase in construction activities, inadequate sewer collection and treatment, landfills as more garbage is produced, increase in chemicals from industries to produce more materials.
Problems
The speed of urban development is bringing big changes including the demand for affordable houses,jobs and transport systems which means that the department of urban development has to cut down more trees to make space for all of that stuff. Also runoff from streets cary oil,rubber,heavy metals and other contaminants from automobiles.
