It's safe to say that humans are one of the most dominant species, populations spreading and settling themselves in all corners of the world. However this case of urban sprawl has caused more harm than good. Those who promote this are also fully aware of the pollution, extinction, sickness and destruction this brings about. In the end, it brings no benefit to anyone-even the people creating it. It's time to stand against urban sprawl, before we ruin our own futures.

Some people have already ruined their own sense of sympathy, carelessly tossing away the lives of thousands of species that lived in the areas where skyscrapers and trams rapidly replace them. A habitat with factory smoke and concrete streets is no place for an animal. Don't you have any sympathy for these pitiful creatures? Don't you have any pride in preserving the native wildlife of your country, the unique characteristic that makes your country your country? They never chose to have this happen to them. It has been purely our decision to destroy their habitats. At the very least we should be grateful to the benign wildlife which we have been blessed with.

It's not just others whose living conditions suffer with the spread of human settlements. We suffer too, even if modernisation sounds beneficial in retrospect. No child can work properly in a city filled with pollution and a din of car horns and motorbikes outside their school. No one can commute to work if they have to get through hours of traffic every morning. Thus the money that can go into living and learning resources diminish, as there are more people to provide for. How can anyone even live properly if their surroundings are just one big traffic jam?

Those who benefit from urban sprawl are likely the ones who have the worst moral standards. This 'upgrade' only benefits their wallets. They're fully aware of the sickness and suffering they bring about, yet they continue to do it because it doesn't affect them. Living in such cramped, crowded spaces has detrimental effects on people's moods and makes sickness more likely to spread. From the Black Death to COVID-19, densely populated cities are always hit hardest because of the low hygiene standards and constant person-to-person contact. Would you risk your own health, your family's health just to be sheep to these corrupt people?

In a society where everyone's evaluating their actions, it's time we backtrack and think about the impact that we have by enforcing urban sprawl. Judging by the suffering we bring to wildlife, developing generations and even ourselves, it's safe to say it's not the best idea. It's important that we preserve our moral standards than factories and business offices. Keep our country the way Mother Nature intended it. Stop the spread of urban sprawl.
