Over time, most cities get larger.
What happens? | What is the r 71 ? |
Families who live in a city have children who grow up and need their o 72 places to live. People move to the city from other places. | The city needs more houses and apartment buildings for people to live in. |
People build new houses and apartment buildings on green land around the city. | The city gets larger and takes up more land. This is c 73 urban sprawl(城市扩张). |
Farmland around the city is sold so people can build on it. | There is less farmland in the area for growing food. |
When there are fewer farms in an area, more food needs to come from places farther away. | Transporting more food on trucks, trains and planes puts more pollution into the air. |
Trees and plants that grew on the green land are destroyed when new buildings go up. | Animals that need trees and plants for food or s 74 must try to find a new place to live. |
Some animals will not find a new place to live and will die. | Animals can become endangered or extinct. |
How to deal with urban sprawl? Here are some things cities are doing to s 75 or slow down the problem.
●Building houses with smaller backyards: This means more houses can fit on a large piece of land. Then less green land is destroyed for new homes.
●Building taller buildings in a city: Taller buildings provide more s 76 for people to live and work inside the city. Many homes can fit on a small patch of land. Then there is less need to put up new buildings or green land.
●Creating greenbelts. A greenbelt is a green area around a city where people are not allowed to build. O 77 farms, parks and wild countryside are allowed in a greenbelt, so urban sprawl will not take over the land.
