Answer:

Explanation:

The urban sprawl is basically started due to the development of our country.

Country is stepping ahead from developing country to developed country.

It negatively impacts the environment because excessively we are cutting trees.

Excess of everything is bad.

If we are cutting 1 tree we should grow 2 trees in behalf of that 1 tree.

Development is also necessary and for those who have shifted form rural to urban areas.Facilities have to be provided.So, shopping malls, industries are getting constructed.

Urban sprawl occurs when housing is filled in one location and car dependent communities are forced to moved away from the central urban areas where the population is too vast, even though this impacts the environment by increasing pollution and causing environmental degradation.
