Urbanization

This issue was inspired by a documentary I recently watched, which I will detail about tomorrow.

It's no secret that our population is growing and our world is staying the same size. The rate of population is growing faster than we are able to develop or adapt. Not only is the population growing, but it continues to grow denser and denser rather than spread out because people move to crowded cities in search of job opportunities. The resulting issues are lack of adequate housing and increase in pollution. Additionally, our environment suffers as habitats are destroyed to make room for new development projects. Finally, the people who are most effected by new development projects are often left out of the decision making process.

Here's a site I found on the issue.
