Urbanization
Urbanization refers to the increasing movement of populations from rural areas to cities, leading to the expansion of urban settlements. While urbanization can drive economic growth, innovation, and improved access to services, it also presents significant challenges. Rapid and unplanned urbanization contributes to overcrowding, air pollution, inadequate housing, traffic congestion, and strain on water, sanitation, and healthcare systems. From a public health perspective, urbanization influences disease patterns, mental health, lifestyle-related conditions, and environmental exposures. Sustainable urban planning aims to address these challenges through smart infrastructure, green spaces, efficient transportation, and inclusive housing policies. Managing urbanization effectively is essential for improving quality of life, reducing health inequalities, and building resilient cities that support environmental sustainability and population health.
