One major problem in the process of urbanization

New cities have been sprouting out since the moment people found convenience living with each other. Although urbanization provides more people with the opportunity to live more conveniently, it harms the eco-system to an alarming extent.

Roads have been set up in order to support the urban transportation system. While at the same time, some animals have been blocked off from their former places to find food and water. What is more, it has been proved by some scientists that because of human activities, some animals are pushed to the edge of extinction.

More often than not, people usually require more than a certain limit, thus harming the eco-balance of the city.   As a result, the air will be polluted; the water will no longer be safe; the vegetation area will be shrinking and the place will be welcoming a silent spring.
