Many people see large urban cities as a wonder of human imagination and creativity. They represent
how far the human population has come in terms of community development. Many positive things
come from urbanization, but there are also negatives. This article will discuss and present data on the
implications of urbanization on the physical health of humans living in these large urban areas.
As it would be expected, developing countries tend to see more negative physical health effects than
modern countries in regard to urbanization. One example of a developing country experiencing these
problems is China. China is a country that in the past 30-40 years went from being an agrarian based
society to a significant industrialized country. This industrialization has in effect caused the need for
more centralized cities, centralized meaning having lots of jobs and living spaces within a close
proximity. This is what is known as urbanization. In most recent decades, since China's change to
being more of an industrial based economy, the country has experienced record high numbers of
people migrating within its borders. In effect, the number of cities with over 500,000 people has more
than doubled. These migrations are typically of people from rural areas of China moving to the new
urban areas. Due to this large influx in the urban population, there are many possibilities for health
challenges among these people.
One very common and fairly obvious negative aspect of highly congested urban areas is air pollution.
Air pollution is defined as any harmful substance being suspended in the air. This could include
particulate matter, most commonly attributed to industrial plants and refineries waste, or chemicals
like CO2 or Methane (which are also products of plants and refineries as well as cars and other modes
of transportation). Due to a vast number of people in these urbanized cities, the air pollution is known
to be very extreme. These conditions can lead to many different health problems such as: Asthma,
cardiovascular problems or disease, and different types of cancer (most commonly lung cancer).
When exposed to these conditions for a prolonged period of time, one can experience even more
detrimental health effects like: the acceleration of aging, loss of lung capacity and health, being
more susceptible to respiratory diseases, and a shortened life span.
Another way that urbanization affects the populations' health is people's change in diet. For instance,
urban cities tend to have lots of accessible, quick, and easy to get food. This food is also more than
likely not as high quality as well as contains a large amount of sodium and sugar. Because this food is
so accessible, people tend to eat it more. This increase in consumption of low quality food can then
lead to diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, obesity, or many other health conditions.

A. Because of the change in people's diet.
B. Because this food is so delicious that people have a tendency to eat more than normal.
C. Because the way people get this food is rather accessible, quick and easy.
D. Because of the low quality and the high proportion of sodium and sugar in this food.

A. negative B. harmful C. beneficial D. damaging

B. People in developed countries suffer less harmful health effects from urbanization than those
in developing nations.
C. The bad health effects from urbanization are not greater than the benefits it brings to people in
urban cities.
