It is true that Urban sprawl covers land once used for food
production and destroys ecosystems. Many of the large cities that have come up
were once fertile lands for irrigation or were big jungles. These jungles were
cut down or the fertile lands destroyed to build cities and industries.
By the United States Census Bureau standards, a population
of 1000 people define an urban area is completely false statement. As per the
United States Census Bureau, more than 50000 people define an urban area.
