there are a lot of factories in cities that use up a lot of fossil fuels due to large populations, businesses and transport networks and will cause air pollution as they release a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which will cause more people to fall sick and will impact their health.

Impact: Education and employment

In cities, there will be more education and gain more knowledge so we can have more job opportunities. Cities are home to a variety of educational institutions, including vocational schools and universities.

Example: Singapore has the School of Arts so people who have a particular aspiration in life can gain more knowledge and have a higher chance of getting the job they want. :))))

City: Seoul

One benefit: Well developed city, safe, clean, delicious food good education

Impact and support:

Well developed: well developed public transport , has advanced architecture like lotte world tower, better living conditions

safe: low crime rates ( 0.60 incidents per 100,000 people )

Delicious food: food comes from natural sources. for example: kimchi yum!

Impact: Higher crime rate

Describe: More gun shooters and pickpockets when there is a higher population

Example: America, where it is legal to own guns and school shooting happens often

# data[].attributes.body
There is higher crime rates in cities which puts us in danger if we go out alone. Since cities are very crowded, you can easily get pickpocketed or kidnapped. The most dangerous city in America is Tennessee. The overall crime rate is 237% higher than the national average. Tennessee has 7,913 crimes per 100,000 people, with an exceptionally high violent crime rate.

Impact: Air pollution

Cities are a built-up area so there may not be a lot of vegetations and trees to help absorb greenhouse gases. More people will drive cars and release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and cause air pollution. Poor health due to air pollution may subsequently lead to increased demand for healthcare services.

Example: Hotan, China is listed as one of the countries with bad air quality because of the increased number of cars which produces greenhouse gases which contributes to the bad air quality.

hazards have a negative impact on people, economy, and environment. buildings need to be of better quality to withstand the threat of hazards.

example: Japan design and build earthquake-resistant buildings by investing resources to build better structure and learn from their previous disasters. the building in the picture is build using carbon-fibre preventing it from falling during an earthquake.

Japan has approximately 1,500 earthquakes a year and its citizens are finding innovative ways to support the country’s structures

Describe: Hazards are events that have a negative impact on people, the physical environment and the economy.

Example: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.

travelling around the city is made easier by more transportation options such as buses trams and trains, which are more affordable than cars. Traffic congestion is also reduced when people opt for bigger transport vehicles like buses. when people use public transport less cars are used and reduces the amount of air pollution caused by cars. Pedestrian paths are also cleared for the elderly and there are traffic crossings on the ground to guide the blind

housing is structures constructed to shelter people from weather elements such as rain, a basic human need, and provides places for rest and social gatherings

housing in Singapore is safe and hygenic as there is proper waste management systems and buildings are made of concrete, wont easily collapse

hdb set up affordable public housing, more than 80% of singapores population lives in good quality housing surrounded by many amenities

# data[].attributes.body
Housing is a basic human need, aiming to shelter people from extreme weather elements, such as extremely high or low temperatures and heavy rain. The houses have to be strong to withstand natural disasters such as tsunamis and earthquakes.

One example of safe housing is Japanese houses that uses dampers (also known as shock absorbers) that are installed in the frame of the building to prevent it from loosening and collapsing after an earthquake.

land use planning:

description - it involves making decisions on how land resources will be used for different purposes. planning agencies may disallow constructions if they are in unsafe locations. this is to prevent hazards from occurring. this information will then be shared with land owners and property developers to ensure everyone's safety.

examples - park connectors, housing, recreation and transport.

using water treatment plants

" kranji reservoir is one of the 17 reservoirs in sinagpore and is located in a agriculture area"

there are water treatment plants which hjelp to purify the water when nutrients from the farm gets mixed in the water. the plants on the treatment plant help to purify the water which reduces water pollution. framer have set up drains and water treatment plants around their plots to channel rainwater collevcted

Providing a variety of transportation modes offers much benefits such as the duration of travelling from one place to another would be easier and faster since people has many options to chose from (eg: buses, trains) that's also affordable for people that can't afford cars. This can also reduce the traffic congestion when people opt for public transportation and have to travel during peak hours, which more likely carry more passengers than owning a private cars. The environmental pollution in cities could also be reduced since the greenhouse gases produced with lessen (if people take the public transport and not their own cars)

Example: Singapore is turning to a car-lite city, were an Islandwide cycling network is being expanded and redesigning of streets is underway to enable pedestrians, cyclists, buses and cars to share city's space more efficiently. They also want people to take the public transport more frequently too :D

example: the cities of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei in China have implemented a license plate lottery policy, which enables the city governments to regulate people's actions and industrial activities, cutting down on air pollutants, reducing heavy smog

in Singapore, people need to buy a certificate of entitlement to own a vehicle. as it is expensive, lesser people would want to spend money to own a vehicle and instead take public transportation/walk, reducing the emission of carbon dioxide and reducing air pollution.
