The High Price of Urban Sprawl

Urban expansion is a social model that explains how cities continue to develop uncontrollably. People who do not want to live in the urban atmosphere frequently ask evacuation to the suburbs where they can enter the metropolitan area. As more and more people follow this trend, the suburbs are gradually evolving and we have to find new areas where people live. This is responsible for several hours commuting as some urban workers work on trains, cars, and even buses. Expansion of the city is not very high class, but it is a costly social model.

Especially in North America, it is a particularly annoying problem, but the main determinant of troublesome urban expansion is the presence of cheap oil. When the oil price recorded a record high in 2008 and the global economic crisis was exacerbated, the most distant people first made default of mortgage. In addition to China, the rapid urbanization of these developing countries has resulted in the explosion of informal urban settlements or slums. In India, millions of slums residents live in core urban areas, poor people in urban areas are causing a fairly unique phenomenon of the Indian community living in the middle class.

Supporters of urban expansion believe that living in the suburbs other than major cities is a matter of personal choice and freedom. In addition, they can bring various benefits of urban expansion, such as short-term economic growth and increased employment caused by new buildings. However, the spread of the city is receiving increasing attention in the United States. When choosing your next home, consider the negative impact of urban expansion and the impact it will have on you, your community, and the environment. Expansion of development can cause water distribution problems and lead to excessive water consumption. Typical low density or suburban communities use more water than high density urban communities. Landscaping is the main cause of excessive use of water. In the US 30% of the water used daily for outdoor use

This poses a problem of urban spread. Meanwhile, since some of the space currently used as a parking lot has been redistributed to the residence, the movement of urban residents to the shared AV may lead to denser cities. New high-density houses are already planned and provide access to cars and parking spaces. Meanwhile, AV can also promote widespread adoption of long distance commuting more easily. This is because riders can work while traveling or even get to sleep. Joel Kotkin of Chapman University says: By excluding driving and making access to the city center easier, AV enhances the appeal of suburban life. Therefore, according to the road toll system, AV seems to make cities more dense and more dispersed.
