Urban sprawl refers to the expansion of poorly planned, low-density, auto-dependent development, which spreads out over large amounts of land, putting long distances between homes, stores, and work and creating a high segregation between residential and commercial uses with harmful impacts on the people living in these areas and the ecosystems and wildlife that have been displaced. Although some would argue that urban sprawl has its benefits, such as creating local economic growth, urban sprawl has many negative consequences for residents and the environment, such as higher water and air pollution, increased traffic fatalities and jams, loss of agricultural capacity, increased car dependency, higher taxes, increased runoff into rivers and lakes, harmful effects on human health.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Explanation:

Urban sprawl is the spreading of urban areas into the countryside. It is not only spread to the rural areas but also towards the wildlife habitats. The cause of urban sprawl is the lack of space in towns and cities and an increasing population.

Many villages also grow into urban/semi urban areas. This is a sign of economic growth but with the cost of environmental damage. This damages 3 things - air, water, and land. Due to urbanization, many roads are constructed. It passes through the natural habitats of other wild animals. These roadways split their habitat, and cause a reduction in their number.

The urban sprawl causes set up many factories, the use of vehicles which does air pollution. People are more prone to use vehicles which are responsible for air pollution.  

The agricultural land is used more and the use of chemical fertilizers increase. It causes land pollution. The construction of more houses, factories decrease the land space, also causes land pollution. Increase pollution extract more groundwater. It reduces the level of groundwater.

On earth the natural resources are limited and our demands are limitless. This causes the decrease and contamination of natural habitats. Urban sprawl is an example of such damage.
