Sustainable Cities: Urban Land Use and Management G. Tyler Miller’s Living in the Environment 13th Edition Chapter 25 Dr. Richard Clements Chattanooga State Technical Community College

Key Concepts Distribution of urban and rural populations Factors determining urban development Resource and environmental problems in urban areas Effects of transportation systems on urban growth Planning and controlling urban growth Making cities more sustainable and desirable

Urbanization and Urban Growth Urban (metropolitan) area Rural area Village City Degrees of urbanization Urban growth: natural increase and immigration

Patterns of Urban Growth Increasing proportion of population Great increase in large cities (>1,000,000) Increasing rapidly in developing counties Urban growth slower in developed countries Poverty in urban areas increasing (See Spotlight p. 663)

Urbanization in the US Migration to large central cities Migration from cities to suburbs Migration from north and east to south and west Urban sprawl Spatial patterns of development (see Fig. 25-9 p. 667)

Major Urban Regions in the US Fig. 25-6 p. 665

Impacts of Urban Sprawl Fig. 25-8 p. 666

Urban Resource and Environmental Problems Air and water pollution; waste management Reduction in vegetation Importation of food, energy, and materials Climate impacts: urban heat island Noise pollution Impacts on surrounding rural areas

Urban Areas: Inputs and Outputs Fig. 25-11 p. 669

Urban Heat Island Fig. 25-13 p. 670

Transportation and Urban Development Individual transit Mass transit Buses Trains Automobiles (See Pro/Con p. 673)

Urban Land-Use Planning and Control Land-use planning (See Case Study p. 677) Ecological land-use planning (See Solutions p. 681) Property taxes Zoning Smart growth Urban growth boundary Cluster development (See Fig. 25-22 p. 682) Greenways

Solutions: Making Urban Areas More Livable and Sustainable New cities and towns Ecocity (green city) Trees and climate-specific landscaping People-oriented People-involved See Guest Essay p. 684
