As we can see from the graph in the left side, urbanization is of Bangladesh increasing rapidly. But it is also clear that with the increase of urbanization population of our country is also increasing! And with the raise of population the need for food, clothes and shelter are also rising…With the increase of basic needs, people are looking for better jobs and moving towards the cities, thus making the cities over crowded and densely populated.
All those are related and are discussed as follows:
With urbanization industries and factories are also increasing, which is again followed by air, water, soil and sound pollutions.
We are losing the beauty of our country as we are losing the greenery. Which is due to cutting down forests and trees to fulfill the demand of rising population and for the industries. As such farmers are losing their farms and jobs due to pollution created by those factories and also because they want to move in to the cities for better paid jobs. Which might lead us to a worse situation…
With Urbanization global warming is increasing. For which we can say, its not only effecting human beings but also all the living creatures in the world. Due to deforestation animals are losing their homes and thus some of those r on their way to extinct.
Due to population growth cities are becoming impossible to live in near future .
