Sustainable cities are the way forward
Through the blogging I’ve done for the past 11 weeks or so, I introduced several types of pollution that is commonly associated with cities. I emphasised on the importance of placing focus on cities, as these are the places where humans congregate, and anthropogenic activities are centered. We looked at case studies across different cities, and learnt about different methods in which cities use to reduce pollution and become more sustainable. Although many of the case studies I covered portrayed a relatively bleak situation, we should not be too desolate about the future, looking at the amount of innovative solutions and promising legislative changes.
As the semester closes, I would like to comment that this blog post assignment was definitely an enjoyable and fulfilling one. I hope that readers were able to learn as much as myself from reading these blog posts, and that I was able to raise awareness of the pollutive impacts happening across cities around the world, and introduce several mechanisms, policies and interesting technology that will greatly benefit the environment in terms of the environmental pollution aspect.
Thank you for reading thus far!
