Urban sprawl, the expansion of urban areas into surrounding regions, has wide-ranging implications for communities and the environment. It leads to habitat fragmentation, strains infrastructure, and exacerbates socio-economic disparities. To mitigate these effects, cities must adopt comprehensive strategies, including sustainable land-use planning, investment in alternative transportation modes, and promotion of compact, mixed-use development patterns. By embracing these approaches, cities can foster more resilient, inclusive, and environmentally sustainable communities for current and future generations.
