as population in cities are larger, amount of resources such as water, electricity and consumption of food increases drastically, leading to the increase of pollution
goverment's priority may not focus on dealing with envvironmental repercussions as they are focused on the economical growth, leading to less economic growth
as demand for good and services increase in the form of housing and transportation, more resources will be diverted to those activities
competiotion for natural resources such as water resources will occur as they are limited resources
LAND IS REQUIRED FOR INFRASTUCTURE
WATER POLLUCTION: contaminants, high concentration of fossil fuels and improper management such as household and factories
cities compete for water to meet the needs of urban dwellers and businesses
lack of land = lack of water storage locations
groundwater wil be lowered as vegetation is cleared for land, vegetation act as an absorption for rainwater
