The relationship between urbanization and air quality is intricate, as rapid urban development often leads to increased pollution and deteriorating air conditions. Urban areas typically have higher concentrations of vehicles, industries, and construction activities, releasing pollutants such as particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, and nitrogen oxides. These pollutants can harm public health and exacerbate respiratory diseases. Additionally, urbanization may reduce green spaces that naturally filter air pollutants, compounding air quality issues. Understanding this relationship is crucial for implementing effective urban planning strategies that prioritize green spaces, sustainable transportation, and regulations to improve air quality and promote healthier communities.
