Throughout the increase of population in the world, it leads to more technology being invented, which results in global warming. Viewing “Sprawl City”, “Radiant City: Suburban Landscape”, and “End of Suburbia: Trailer”, it explains how the amount of people is the answer to global warming. People that lives in places such as the suburbs uses tons of technology, which shows how the factories that are being use affects the world.
From the clip of “Sprawl City”, Leon Kolankiewicz discusses how the increase of immigration affects the environment. Having immigrants coming to the United States of America will impact the U.S by creating more technology. According to Leon Kolankiewicz “population, affluence, and technology equals impact.” This exemplifies how the more people that are being entered in the United States, more technology needs to be invented. Leon Kolankiewicz stated that through the 1960’s through the 1970’s, the populations of the United States have been increasing quickly approximately two and a half million of people go the US each year. I believe that with a large amount of population that have jobs that deals with carbon dioxide affects the world extremely.
Suburban areas also play apart as in why the technologies that are being use effects the world. Andres Duany explains the way that people go to their destination, which is using vehicles. Suburbia area disaggregates places that demands people to use cars to go place to place. In other words, there will be an area that you will only see homes, and other areas that only have jobs, and another area that is only to shop. This disaggregates the elements of daily life, which makes people drive to one place to another. According to Andres Duany video clip Radiant City - "Suburban Landscape", “Traffic injuries and deaths are three times more common in the suburbs than in the inner cities”. With a lot of people living in the suburbs, this connects to how a lot of cars are being in use, which affects global warming.
Gas, oil, and carbon dioxide are examples that are harming the world. Since there is a large amount of people living in the suburbs that use cars to go from place to place, the pollution of gas that is used is harming the world. If there was a decrease of people in the suburbs, or a decrease in areas to go to, suburban areas would not be a place where a lot of situations happen. The result of a lot of people that have cars to go to their destination shows how there is a nonstop increase of air pollution. According to a YouTube mini clip “Radiant City – Commute”, “every year, the average North American driver spends fifty eight hour workdays driving.” What this means is that gas is being released, which causes an accumulation of global warming.
