    Cities affect the environment in several negative ways. Urban populations consume more energy through goods like televisions and refrigerators, increasing air, water, and land pollution. The high concentration of people and energy usage in cities also creates heat zones that influence weather patterns, making storms, hail, fog, and clouds more frequent than in rural areas. This subjects city areas to greater weather risks and traps pollutants in the atmosphere, contributing to long-term environmental damage and health issues for city residents.

    HOW DOES
    CITIES
    AFFECT THE
    ENVIRONMEN
    T
    SO HOW DOES CITIES AFFECT
    THE ENVIRONMENT?

    • Urban populations, by merit of their higher incomes and more leisurely lifestyles, are more likely to consume high
    quantities of energy-using consumable goods such as televisions, refrigerators, and other technology. Research
    has indicated that this increases air, water and land pollution, and creates concentrated heat zones that influence
    weather patterns, generating thunderstorms, hailstorms, fog and cloudiness in greater frequency than rural areas.
    This not only puts the area at risk in the form of weather-related damage, it promotes trapping of pollutants within
    the atmosphere, contributing to long-lasting environmental damage and health risks for those in the area.
