urban sprawl and loss of green spaces

Urban sprawl refers to the uncontrolled expansion of urban areas beyond their original boundaries, often resulting in the proliferation of low-density development, increased dependence on private transportation, and the spread of infrastructure into previously undeveloped areas. This process leads to the loss of green spaces, which are natural and open areas covered by vegetation, as they are converted into buildings, roads, parking lots, or other urban infrastructure.
