    Urbanization is shifting populations from rural to urban areas, filling areas with buildings and infrastructure. The document argues that increased urbanization is destroying the planet by (1) increasing carbon dioxide emissions and pollution as more factories and deforestation occurred during the Industrial Revolution, and (2) reducing green spaces which many urban areas now have dangerously low amounts of according to the WHO. If current urbanization trends continue, it will lead to less green spaces and wildlife habitats while pollution increases over the next few decades.

    Why urbanization is

    destroying this planet


    By: George Khella
    What is urbanization? And How is it ruining The
    Earth?
    For those who don't know what urbanization is. It’s the shift from rural to urban.
    An example of an urban area is New York City this area is urbanized because its
    filled with industrial buildings, houses, factories, stores etc.

    Now, for the point of this presentation, how and why is urbanization destroying
    the planet, and if we continue to urbanize all areas of the Earth what will
    happen in the next couple of decades.
    Point: Is urbanization really that bad for the
    planet?

    Evidence: The proof for this circumstance is that if we go back to the 19th century when the
    Industrial Revolution began it led to a massive increase in urbanization, which increased the
    factories and deforestation. In 2016 Egypt had produced 219,377,350 tons of CO2. due to
    urbanization Cairo currently only has about 1.65 square meters of green space per capita.
    Which according to the WHO (The World Health Organization) is dangerously low.

    Explain: The increase in urbanization will lead to decrease in green spaces and wildlife habitats
    and increase pollution
