environmental impacts of cities
Definition
- A city's urban environment—the area that it occupies—is directly affected by the city's use of materials, air, water, and land. A city's ecological footprint is the space needed to support the city, equivalent to the physical and biological regions disturbed to provide resources to the city and accept its wastes.
