AP Human Geography
Unit 6 – Cities and Urban Land–Use
Topic 6.11
How did London's 1952 "Great Smog" event and Beijing's current air pollution issues highlight the challenge of urban sustainability?
Both instances show how industrial activity and population growth can lead to serious environmental problems in cities.
Both cases illustrate that modern cities never face significant environmental problems due to technological advancements.
Both cities dealt with these issues by imposing strict emission regulations immediately after the crisis.
The events demonstrate how governmental interventions always succeed in resolving urban sustainability challenges promptly.
