Urban Geology

Urban geology is the study of how geological features and processes interact with urban environments. It examines the physical properties of the ground beneath cities, such as soil type, rock formations, and groundwater, to inform urban planning and construction. Understanding urban geology helps predict natural hazards like landslides and earthquakes, ensures sustainable resource management, and enhances infrastructure development. It emphasizes the importance of considering geological factors when designing and maintaining urban areas to mitigate risks and promote safety, resilience, and sustainability in rapidly growing cities.
