Study of Economic Development of Healthy Metropolitan Area and Sustainability of Regional Environment

The purpose of this document is to communicate an economic vision for Urban Economics. Solving the environmental problems associated with urbanization requires lateral thinking, or rather vertical thinking. Problems abound when considering the environmental challenges of an increasingly urban society. Among these are a decreasing vegetation cover of the soil, water absorption capacity, shade and temperature regulating vegetation, and an increasing level of air, noise, water and light pollution. While many have attributed these problems to a plethora of factors; the main cause remains the properties of the materials used in the urbanization process. This is itself a result of economic circumstances that favor the use of cheap and inorganic materials. It is counterintuitive, therefore, that these very same materials could be used further in the provision of a solution to the problems associated with the urban environment.
