Part A
The African region has been experiencing rapid urbanization in recent years, leading to
significant changes in the environment. Urbanization is a complex process that involves
the growth of cities and towns, accompanied by the expansion of infrastructure and the
influx of people into these urban areas. This phenomenon has profound effects on the
environment, particularly in terms of habitat loss and destruction, as well as pollution
associated with urban environments. This essay critically examines the anticipated effects
of human activities on the environment in the African region through urbanization, with a
specific focus on these two aspects.
Habitat loss and destruction are among the most significant consequences of
urbanization in the African region. As cities expand, natural habitats such as forests,
wetlands, and grasslands are increasingly being converted for human use. This includes
the construction of residential and commercial buildings, roads, and other infrastructure,
as well as agricultural activities. The loss of natural habitats not only directly reduces the
available living space for numerous species of plants and animals but also contributes to
habitat fragmentation, which further exacerbates the negative impacts on biodiversity and
ecological processes.
