Abstract

This article examines the complex relationship between urbanization and environmental sustainability from a sociological standpoint. It explores how rapid urban growth contributes to environmental challenges and the sociopolitical measures needed to mitigate these impacts. By analyzing urban policies, green initiatives, and community engagements, the study aims to provide a framework for understanding and addressing the environmental consequences of urban expansion. Our research highlights the critical role of social behavior and policy in fostering sustainable urban development. This article seeks to inform policymakers, urban planners, and sociologists about effective strategies to balance urban growth with environmental stewardship.
