Intro to Environmental Systems
Urbanization is the process by which an increasing percentage of a population comes to live in urban areas, leading to the growth and expansion of cities. This phenomenon is often driven by factors such as industrialization, economic opportunities, and population migration, resulting in significant land use changes and habitat fragmentation. Urbanization can create challenges for biodiversity and conservation as natural habitats are altered or destroyed to accommodate expanding urban environments.
