Research Paper: Rapid Urbanization in the Environment
In my dissertation, I will study the effects of rapid urban development on our
environment and society, focusing on megacities such as cities in China (e.g., Beijing
and Shanghai). Another human geography aspect of this issue is urbanization, as cities
grow and people migrate from rural areas to urban centers, impacting food needs, air
quality, and water supply. I will be looking for what these patterns look like in the world
of government initiatives. Along with urbanization, this will be related to what we learned
about human-environment interaction, and it will provide more in-depth insight into the
challenges of China’s rapidly growing urbanization.
I. Introduction
● A. Background
○ Explain what rapid urbanization is and why it’s important to study.
○ Focus on megacities in China, such as Beijing and Shanghai, as
examples of rapid
urban development.
● B. Thesis Statement
○ Rapid urbanization in Chinese megacities has significant effects on the
environment and society, including challenges with air quality, water resources, and the
balance between urban growth and sustainability.
II. Environmental Impacts of Urbanization
● A. Air Quality Issues
○ Discuss how rapid urbanization leads to increased air pollution in cities
like
Beijing and Shanghai.
○ Mention efforts to manage pollution but highlight ongoing challenges.
○ Source: World Bank, “China’s Rapid Urbanization: Benefits, Challenges
&
Strategies.”
● B. Water Resources
○ Explain the impact of urbanization on water supply and quality.
○ Highlight problems with overuse and contamination in megacities.
○ Source: United Nations Development Programme, “Rapid Urbanisation:
Opportunities and Challenges to Improve the Well-Being of Societies.”
III. Social and Economic Effects
● A. Migration and Urban Growth
○ Describe the movement of people from rural areas to urban centers.
○ Talk about the strain on housing, infrastructure, and food supply.
○ Source: BSR, “Megacities in China: The Opportunity for Collaboration
on
Sustainable Urbanization.”
● B. Quality of Life in Megacities
○ Discuss how rapid urbanization affects living conditions, such as
overcrowding
and public health.
○ Connect to societal inequalities in urban areas.
○ Source: World Resources Institute, “5 Ways China’s Cities Can Drive
Equitable
and Sustainable Urbanization.”
IV. Government Initiatives and Policies
● A. Policies to Manage Urbanization
○ Talk about the Chinese government’s efforts to balance growth with
sustainability,
like urban planning and environmental regulations.
○ Highlight successes and areas for improvement.
○ Source: China Britain Business Council, “China’s Push for Megacities:
Is Bigger
Better?”
● B. Lessons from China’s Urbanization
○ Discuss what other countries can learn from China’s approach to rapid urban
growth.
V. Conclusion
● A. Summary of Key Points
○ Reiterate the main environmental and social challenges of rapid
urbanization in
Beijing and Shanghai.
○ Highlight the role of government policies in addressing these issues.
● B. Final Thoughts
○ Emphasize the importance of sustainable urban development for future megacities
worldwide.
