Negative Effects of

Sprawling

Social Impacts Concerns over urban sprawl and its

consequences are not new, and this

phenomenon as been subject toconsiderable scrutiny by academics, socialcritics, and public policy makers since theshift of people and economic activities

beyond city cores intensified after1945.Opinion appears to be divided overthe social and economic impacts of sprawl,for the evidence indicates that both

social /economic benefits and costs accrueC1

Environmental Impacts

Sprawls impacts upon ecosystemsand other environmental resourcesare considerable. Sprawl and

associated activities degradeenvironmental resources such assurface water and groundwater, airquality, and landscape aesthetics,and destroys wildlife habitats.

Environmental Impacts

It restricts or eliminates access tonatural resources/raw materials suchas timber, fuel minerals, and non-fuel

minerals including sand, gravel, andlimestone the materials from whichcities are constructed, and results inthe lost of prime agricultural landswithin and nearby metropolitanareas.

Direct Transportation

Service Problems Congestion: 11 mph speed in thecities, resulting in longer travel time,delays, fuel waste, pollutions, stress

(mental & physical) etc.

Inadequate capacity: greater demandvs. supply.

High user cost: Rise in fuel prices,cost of vehicles, spare parts, rise infares, insurance, user fees e.g..Parkin , traffic fines, tolls,etc.C1

High facility costs and low return:Airports construction, bridges,drainage, tunnels etc.

Lack of safety to users: trafficaccidents in cars and terminals, theproblems for the handicapped, thepoor and the young.

Lack of privacy: congested facilitiesat terminal and cars.

Discomfort: Noise, temperature-C1
