Environmental

Neighborhood environment concerns refer to the various issues affecting the quality of life, health, and well-being of residents within a community. These concerns can range from pollution, such as air, water, and noise pollution, to improper waste disposal and lack of green spaces. Inadequate infrastructure, such as poor drainage systems, can lead to flooding, while deteriorating roads and sidewalks pose safety hazards. Climate-related risks like heat islands, due to excessive concrete and minimal tree cover, also impact neighborhoods. Other concerns include the overdevelopment of urban areas, loss of biodiversity, and environmental injustice, where marginalized communities often bear the brunt of environmental degradation. Addressing these concerns is crucial for creating sustainable, healthy, and livable neighborhoods.
