Abstract

This review paper synthesizes findings on the intersection of climate change, urban expansion, demographic transitions, and sustainable development. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this work examines case studies from diverse geographies to explore how rapid urbanization, environmental stress, and technological innovations impact global ecosystems. Our review covers climate-induced migration, land-use changes, groundwater depletion, and sustainable development practices, advocating for integrated policy solutions that align with ecological preservation and social resilience. The findings underscore the need for innovative urban planning, predictive modeling, and community-driven conservation to address complex global challenges.
