Environmental And Urbanization Degradation Vs Welfare in Developing World: A Sociological Appraisal

Sociologically speaking, environmental degradation widely affects the depletion of natural resources such as air, water and soil. Increasing number of countries currently face a decline in their environment. Due to increasing urbanization, air pollution is widely observed, and water shortage is touched in many areas of the developing world. Environmental degradation has included the destruction of ecosystems, habitats, wildlife extinction and many more. Therefore, such countries should put the improvement of environment on the planning agenda. If not, the overall efficiency of society will be sociologically jeopardized. Population itself has a determining impact on the quality of environment. Access to advanced technologies, increasing factories and new industries, large number vehicles and other related technologies, all differently affect the healthy environment. The scenario will even continue to the year 2050, when the world population will be above 10 billion (WPDS, 2020). Most of the effects of urbanization are on developing societies, which are experiencing high population growth. That is why the greatest environmental degradation can be seen today in developing countries. Generally speaking, environmental health is achieved through the type of circumstances that public welfare is ensured in a society.
