Abstract
Rapid urbanization has become a defining feature of the 21st century, profoundly transforming landscapes, societies, and economies. However, alongside the benefits of urban development come significant challenges, including the deterioration of air quality. This journal article explores the complex relationship between urbanization and air quality, drawing on interdisciplinary research from environmental science, urban planning, public health, and social sciences. Through a comprehensive review of literature and case studies, this paper examines the drivers and impacts of urbanization on air quality, including emissions from transportation, industrial activities, energy production, and urban heat island effects. Furthermore, it investigates the disproportionate burden of air pollution on vulnerable populations in urban areas, such as low-income communities and minority groups. Finally, this article discusses innovative strategies and policy interventions for mitigating urban air pollution, promoting sustainable urban development, and fostering healthier and more livable cities in the face of ongoing urbanization trends.
