Urban sprawl, the outward growth of cities, presents complex challenges affecting both urban and rural landscapes. It contributes to habitat loss, strains infrastructure, and widens socio-economic gaps. To address these issues, cities must adopt proactive measures, such as prioritizing green infrastructure, implementing smart growth policies, and promoting transit-oriented development. By taking decisive action, cities can mitigate the negative impacts of sprawl and create more sustainable, livable environments for all residents.
