Environmental Quality

Environmental quality in urban physical geography refers to the condition of the natural and built environments in cities. It involves assessing air and water quality, green spaces, noise levels, and the overall health of ecosystems within urban areas. Higher environmental quality signifies cleaner air, healthier water, well-maintained parks, and reduced pollution, contributing to a better quality of life for residents. Poor environmental quality can lead to health problems, decreased biodiversity, and diminished aesthetics. Understanding these factors helps improve urban planning and sustainability, ensuring cities are livable and resilient for current and future generations.
