  • Human Environments Urban Revision1
    Lornshill Academy Geography Department Higher Revision Human Environments - Urban Human Environments Urban Reasons for increased urban growth There are many reasons for increased urban growth in the developing world. Some of which are: increasing birth rates and decreasing death rates improved health care in many developing countries leading to longer life expectancies employment opportunities are greater within urban areas better paid jobs in the cities, an expected higher standard of living, and more reliable food are all pull factors - reasons why people are attracted to the city people who migrate to towns and cities tend to be young adults and therefore have higher birth rates better medical conditions compared to the countryside mean more successful births and a better life expectancy However, there are many problems associated with rapid growth. These include unplanned housing (squatter settlements/shanty towns), dealing with urban waste, pollution and stress on infrastructure and the city's services. Problems in urban areas Population growth has led to problems in many urban areas. Traffic congestion is a major issue in developed and developing countries. In developed world cities, there has been an increase in the number of cars on the road. As more people move to the edge of towns and cities, traffic congestion may get worse. Many people will drive their cars into the city centre for work. Substantial numbers get there on newer, larger roads or motorways. These roads then link up with older, narrower roads in the city centre. This causes a bottleneck and congestion. Many inner city areas, with a network of narrow roads and many junctions, cannot cope with the increased volume of traffic.
