Individual, Group and Government Responses to the Impact of Urban Growth and Decline.
Individuals have responded to the typical urban growth issues in a variety of ways. people in car-dependent areas have joined together to form car-pools, which reduces the expense of commuting to work. Individuals have also acted to conserve water by installing water tanks. after the initial cost, tanks provide easy access to recycled water, the use of bicycles and/ or walking as alternative forms of transport is also increasing response to pollution. This is also said for growth areas as people become more environmental conscience.
The response to the issues associated with urban growth amongst key groups has been significant. for example, the National Roads and Motorists' Association (NRMA) lobbies governments to address common concerns for motorists. in particular, they have been responsible for improving roads. the Public Transport Group lobbies for better public transport and a number of environmental groups advocate more sustainable water/ energy use and better waste management.
The government response to the issues of urban growth and decline work hand in hand. Government departments partially fund the installation of solar panels for cost saving energy resources. Local councils develop environmental plans to manage urban growth. Local government departments request assistance from the state government to provide the infrastructure to sustain the growth, and hopefully the federal government provides large amounts of funding!
