Urban sprawl is the migration of a population from a densely populated city to a rural/suburban area. This is not a recent trend its been going on for a long time, however cities and suburbs are becoming overcrowded. This is a problem to the environment because as cities and suburbs are taking over land that belongs to wildlife. Because of this generations to come will have less biodiversity. Infrastructure also adds pollution into the sky.
To reduce the issue of urban sprawl it should be suggested to downsizing the population. That however becomes a controversial subject, because should the government be able to control how many children you are allowed to have, or should that be outlawed. Ultimately, though if we do not think of the long term effects there will be huge effects on the populations society as well as the environment. http://www.conserve-energy-future.com/causes-and-effects-of-urban-sprawl.php
