1 Chapter 10 The Urban World
2 Overview of Chapter 10 Population and Urbanization Characteristics of Urban Population Urbanization Trends City as an Ecosystem Environmental Problems in Urban Areas Environmental Benefits of Urbanization Urban Land Use Planning Transportation and Urban Development Suburban Sprawl Making Cities More Sustainable
3 Population and Urbanization Milestone: As of 2008, half of the world s population lives in urban areas
4 Population and Urbanization Urbanization Process in which people increasingly move from rural areas to densely population cities Jobs define urban vs. rural, not populations Rural area occupations involve harvesting natural resources Urban area occupations involve jobs not connected with natural resources People are moving to cities due to decrease in employment opportunities in rural areas
5 Characteristics of Urban Population Basic characteristics of city populations: Diverse population in terms of race, ethnicity, religion and socioeconomic status Younger population than local rural area More males in developing nation cities More females in developed nation cities
6 Urbanization Trends Urbanization is increasing rapidly Especially in developing countries World s 10 largest cities are in developing countries
7 Urbanization Trends Urban Agglomeration Urbanized core region that consists of several adjunct cities or megacities and their surrounding developed suburbs United States Urban Agglomerations (Population of 50,000 or above)
8 Substandard Housing Typically occupied by squatters No city services Water, sewage, garbage collection, police and fire protection 1/3 of urban population in developing countries are squatters
9 City as an Ecosystem Urban Ecosystem: A heterogeneous, studied in the context of a broader ecological system Studied based on four variables: POET Population Organization Environment Technology
10 Cities are dynamic open systems
11 Environmental Problems in Urban Areas Growing urban areas affect land use patterns Fragment wildlife Encroach wetlands, forests, desert, etc. Impermeable surfaces and urban runoff discharged into waterways Motor oil, lawn fertilizers, heavy metals Noise pollution
12 Environmental Problems in Urban Areas Brownfields Urban areas of abandoned industrial or residential sites that may be contaminated from past use
13 Environmental Problems in Urban Areas Long commutes Buildup of emissions due to cars and industry Urban heat island Local heat buildup in an area of high population density Affect local air currents and weather conditions Contribute to buildup of pollutants- dust domes
14 Urban Heat Island Temperature variations on a summer afternoon
15
16 Environmental Benefits of Urbanization Well-planned city can benefit the environment Reduces pollution Preserves rural areas Compact Development Design of cities where residential buildings are close to shopping, jobs and public transportation
17 Urban Land Use Planning Process of deciding the best use for undeveloped land in a given area Based on economic concerns Influenced by political and economic factors Regulated through zoning Commercial Residential Industrial Property owners must meet zoning ordinances
18 Transportation and Urban Development Transportation availability affects city s spatial structure Ex: An east coast US city (a) (b) (c) 20th century
19 Suburban Sprawl Suburban Sprawl Patchwork of vacant and developed tracts around the edges of cities Problems Loss of wetlands Air & water pollution Loss of biological habitat
20 Suburban Sprawl Smart Growth: urban planning and transportation strategy that mixes land uses Commercial Manufacturing Entertainment Housing At least 11 states currently using these management laws
21 Making Cities More Sustainable Characteristics of a sustainable city Clear, cohesive urban growth policies Efficient use of energy and other resources Reduction of pollution and waste Large areas of green space Designed to be people-centers, not carcentered Food grown IN the city (rooftop gardens) Compact development
