Cities as an Ecosystem
Biotic components: Man and selected living organisms
Abiotic components: Urban environment

Urbanization involve the modification of the environment or/and the impact of the environmentThe physical environment may influence the form, functions and growth of the city.A change in either the urban environment or the urban man will affect the other component of the urban ecosystem.
Cities as an Ecosystem

Cities as an Ecosystem
It is an Open systemCannot self-containedCannot function in isolation from the other parts of the worldDepends on external food supply and investmentThe change of it will affect the region, the country and the rest of the world

Humidity
Humidity is lower for following reasons:
higher temperatureWaterproof surfaceLess water is available for evaporation
![Page 13: Impact of development on the quality of Environment.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050816/551661575503469d698b517b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Precipitation
Precipitation increase
Urban atmosphere contains large amount of condensation nuclei.
Higher temperature intensifies the thermal convection formation of cloud
adiabatic cooling condensation

Wind speed & Direction
Three featuresWind speed will be reduced for rough surface of the cityTurbulence may be created in cities.Air circulation system will be induced by the heat island

Noise PollutionSolutions
Planning: separate industrial zone and airport with residential zoneUse new technology in productionLegislation
• Restrict taking off and landing period of aircraft• Restrict noise from 11pm to 6am in residential areas• Restrict construction period• Imposition of speed limits and setup no horns areas• Noise industries must setup protection devices: eg. W
earing special helmetsEducation
