Urban Physical Geography

Urban physical geography refers to the study of the natural features and processes that shape urban environments. This includes examining the landforms, climate, water bodies, and ecosystems that interact with urban areas. It explores how these physical characteristics influence the layout, growth, and sustainability of cities, affecting infrastructure, transportation, and recreational spaces. Understanding urban physical geography helps city planners and residents make informed decisions about land use, conservation, and disaster preparedness, ensuring that cities can thrive within their natural surroundings.
