Urban Geomorphology

Urban geomorphology is the study of how cities and towns shape and are shaped by their physical environments. It examines the landforms, landscapes, and natural processes that influence urban areas, such as rivers, hills, and man-made structures. This field looks at how urban development alters the land, affects drainage, and interacts with ecosystems. By understanding these dynamics, urban planners and geographers can design cities that work better with their surroundings, making them more sustainable and resilient to natural events like flooding or erosion.
