Question

Which of the following are NOT environmental problems commonly associated with urban areas? A. brownfields B. compact development C. dust domes D. urban heat islands E. all of these choices are correct

Answer 1

Answer: COMPACT DEVELOPMENT.

Explanation: Compact development can be defined as a form of development that involves efficient use of land through higher-density planning, creative and intensive site, neighborhood and district design.

As can be deduced from the definition, it can be clearly observed that this is not a problem in its own as it seeks for efficient use of land in urban development.

It is based on an efficient public transport system and has an urban layout which – according to its advocates – encourages walking and cycling, low energy consumption and reduced pollution
