Abstract

This paper presents a review of urban slum and suburban sprawl situations across the world. The article is more descriptive in nature than analytical and has the objective of bringing out the interrelationships among urbanization, urban slums, suburban sprawls, and environmental sustainability. It begins by examining the concepts of urbanization, urban slums, suburban sprawl, safe cities, resilient cities, and sustainable cities. It then goes on to look at the causes and consequences of urban slums and suburban sprawl. Findings from the study revealed that slums and suburban sprawls are cogs in the wheel of safe, resilient, and sustainable cities. Therefore, the study recommends efficient urban management, the implementation of urban master plans, development control, and citizen participation in urban planning and management. Above all, for the achievement of safe, resilient, and sustainable cities, this study places more emphasis on the use of modern techniques of environmental monitoring and management.

城市贫民窟和郊区扩张:安全、有韧性和可持续城市的环境挑战
本文回顾了世界各地城市贫民窟和郊区无计划扩展的情况。文章的描述性多于分析性,旨在阐明城市化、城市贫民窟、郊区无计划扩展和环境可持续性之间的相互关系。文章首先探讨了城市化、城市贫民窟、郊区无计划扩展、安全城市、弹性城市和可持续城市等概念。接着,研究了城市贫民窟和郊区无计划扩展的原因和后果。研究结果表明,贫民窟和郊区无计划扩展是安全城市、有韧性城市和可持续城市车轮上的齿轮。因此,研究建议进行有效的城市管理,实施城市总体规划、发展控制以及公民参与城市规划和管理。最重要的是,为了实现安全、有韧性和可持续发展的城市,本研究更加强调使用现代环境监测和管理技术。
