What is urban development? When humans develop land that is in its natural state for living. This includes land such as: –Forests –Fields –Mountains

What are some key concepts of urban development? Water Soil Pollution Resources Habitats

Water Watershed plays an important role in providing wildlife habitat, as well as human habitats CONCEPTS –Erosion –Water shed –Run-off –Precipitation

Soil Individuals have an effect on soil conservation & erosion CONCEPTS –sustainability – erosion –degradation –conservation –biodiversity

Pollution Urban centers are prime contributors to the pollution of the environment. CONCEPTS –water –industry –human waste –soil –air pollution

Resources Lifestyle choices made each day have an impact on wildlife and the environment CONCEPTS –non-renewable resources –renewable resources –impact –organic –inorganic

Habitats Human development of land areas can have effects on plants, and animals previously living in the area CONCEPTS –vegetation –conservation –disturbance –consequences –destruction –food chain –crowding

CONCLUSION There are many advantages of urban development and there are many disadvantages to urban development. Before developing humans research to see if the advantages out way the disadvantages.
