Sustainable Cities G. Tyler Miller’s Living in the Environment 14 th Edition Chapter 25 G. Tyler Miller’s Living in the Environment 14 th Edition Chapter 25

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 areas  Rural areas  Villages  Cities  Urban growth: natural increase and immigration  Push and pull factors

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

Urbanization in the US  Migration to large central cities  Migration from cities to suburbs  Migration from north and east to south and west  Migration from urban to rural areas  Spatial patterns of development (see Fig p. 566)

Major Urban Regions in the US Fig p. 566

Impacts of Urban Sprawl Fig p. 567

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

Urban Areas: Inputs and Outputs Fig p. 569

Urban Poor in Developing Countries  Slums  Squatter settlements  Shantytowns  Illegal settlements  Poverty and unemployment  Slums  Squatter settlements  Shantytowns  Illegal settlements  Poverty and unemployment

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

Urban Land-Use Planning and Control  Land-use planning  Property taxes  Zoning  Smart growth  Urban growth boundary  Cluster development (See Fig p. 579)  Greenbelts

Greenbelts Fig p. 579

Cluster Housing Fig p. 579

Solutions: Making Urban Areas More Livable and Sustainable  New cities and towns  Ecocity (green city)  Trees and climate-specific landscaping  People-oriented  High energy efficiency
