Summary
Urbanization is changing both the ecological and socio-cultural characteristics of landscape. Population growth and structural shifts in demography, combined with change in land use and water resources, could largely influence how our society interacts with the natural environment. In this book, the authors present current research from across the globe in the study of urbanization and the environment. Topics discussed include the interrelation of land use change, nature conservation and urbanization in the Hungarian hillside; the impact of urbanization on groundwater quality in India; the socioeconomic and residential differences in environmental perception and behavior in metropolitan Brazil and post-urban sprawl in European cities.
