Even so, the frenzied urbanization that has characterized recent decades has triggered a number of problems word-wide, both social and ecological. Nowadays, we ought to be asking ourselves if planning can be improved. By closely studying the specific needs of populations in South African shantytowns, developing basic organic agricultural centers in Cuba, and creating Eco-friendly neighborhoods in China, some businessmen have succeeded in changing the face of urban life.

The issue of balance between Mother Nature and all living things; and what happens to that balance when man begins to intervene in nature's environments that depend on fresh water. How do species survive in the Nabib Desert in South Africa and at Glen Canyon in the USA. where the once wild Colorado River is obstructed by a large dam? There is a look at the canalization of the Rhine and the shrinking of fresh water wetlands in Holland, and the Ecuadorian rainforest where nature is damaged by oil production. Concerns about the health of both scarce and water-abundant environments are growing. Reallocating fresh water to the environment has started, highlighting the evermore ominous and highly charged issue of pollution. Contaminated water has direct and important consequences for public health. In 1854, a cholera epidemic in Western Europe initiated a new awareness. Perhaps the most deadly and widespread, yet most preventable, waterborne disease is diarrhea.

In the past few years, the world has experienced many devastating natural disasters. There is much speculation that these phenomena are due to global climate changes and Global Warming. In Western Greenland, scientists say that they have found evidence that the island's massive glaciers are melting. In the USA, the Rocky Mountain labs offer a rare long-term view of the environment and the mountain's local ecosystem. The recession of the world's glaciers is considered a strong indicator of climate change and glaciologists in France have been watching in alarm as their glaciers recede. In South Africa, the resilience of loggerhead turtles raises questions about the impact of climate and sea level change on biodiversity. Also, Australia's remaining natural forests and their carbon consuming trees; and Scotland establish itself as a world leader in carbon cutting measures.
