INDUSTRY
INTRODUCTION
-What is Urban Industry?
From the word Urban, it refers to
cities or people who live in cities.
and Industry is a group of
manufacturers or businesses that
produce a particular kind of goods
or services. So it means Urban
Industry is concerned with the
processing of raw materials and
manufacturing of goods in
factories located within towns or
cities.
URBANIZATION
It is a process whereby populations move from rural to urban areas, enabling cities and towns to
grow.
INDUSTRIALIZATION
It is a process of applying mechanical,
chemical and electrical sciences to recognize production with inanimate
source of technology.
SIMILARITIES BETWEEN
URBANIZATION AND
INDUSTRIALIZATION
• Follow process of transition.
• Aim for the betterment of human life.
• Carry both beneficial and adverse effects to
environment.
The different events that
caused the emergence of
urbanization.
CAUSES OF
URBANIZATION
• Industrialization
• Commercialization
• Social Benefits and Services
• Employment Oppurtunities
• Modernization
• Rural-urban Transfromations
• Industrialization - Shift from
old agricultural economics
to a novel non-agricultural
one.
• Commercialization-Distribution • Social Benefits and Services-Better
of goods and services and educational facilities, living standards,
commercial transactions. sanitation and housing, health care,
recreation facilities and social life.
• Employment Oppurtunities- Access to well-paying jobs from developmental
sectors such as public health, education, transport, sport and recreation,
industries and business interprises.
• Modernization- More technology, sophiscated communication, infra, changes in

the mode of living namely habits, attitude, food, beliefs.
• Rural-urban Transfromations
- Rural communities start to adopt the urban culture and ultimately become
urban centers.

Effects of Urbanization to
Environment
• Pollution is caused by the way urban populations interact with
their environment. Urban people change their environment
through their consumption of food, energy, water, and land.
Pollution from polluting urban environments can affect the health
and quality of life of the urban population.
• Urban dwellers or the residents tend to consume more food, energy, and
durable goods than those who live in the rural areas.
• Urban populations consume more food, energy and durable goods than
rural populations. In the early 1990s, Chinese households in urban areas
were two times more likely to have a TV than rural households. This
increased consumption is a function of urban labor markets, wages, and
household structure.
URBAN RURAL
Energy Consumption
• Urban populations have
many more cars per capita
than rural populations per
capita, and they use more
energy for transportation and
heating.
• As of 2018, 12.7 million

motor vehicles in the
Philippines are registered and
running. If that were the
norm, there would be 5.3
billion cars in the world, all
using energy. There is one car

amount of
precipitation, air
pollution, and the
number of days with
thunderstorms.
• Urban areas generally generate more rain, but they reduce the infiltration of
water and lower the water tables. This means that runoff occurs more rapidly
with greater peak flows.
• Flood volumes increase, as do floods and water pollution downstream.
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF
URBANIZATION
• BIODIVERSITY
• SCARCITY OF WATER
• AIR POLLUTION
• DISEASES
• ELEVATED EMISIONS OF AIR POLLUTANTS AND GHGs
• DEVELOPMENT OF SLUMS
• BIODIVERSITY- Habitat clearing, degradation and fragmentation of
the landscape endangering species of animals.
• SCARCITY OF WATER- Decrease in the volume of water that

percolates into the ground and decrease in quality of surface water
• AIR POLLUTION- Very high emissions of sulfur
dioxide, smoke, and other particles during stagnant,
foggy weather conditions.
• DISEASES- Reduce physical activity and unhealthy

nutrition, air travel carries bacteria and viruses from
one country to the next.
• ELEVATED EMISIONS OF AIR POLLUTANTS AND

GHGs- Increase in air pollutant and greenhouse gas
emissions, formation of smog andprecipitation of
acid rain, urban GHG emission.
• DEVELOPMENT OF SLUMS- Spread of unlawful

Ways on how to mitigate the negative effects of
Urbanization.
• Combat poverty by promoting • Plant trees and incorporate the

economic development and job care of city green spaces as the
creation. key element in urban planning.
• Involve local
community in
local government.
• Reduce air pollution by upgrading • Create private-public partnership

enegy use and alternative transport to provide services such as waste
system. disposal and housing.
Although urbanization is a
necessary condition for
modernization, we can
mitigate the effect of it. We just
need to learn how to save the
planet and conserve
our natural resources, through
recycling water and the use of
renewable energy.
