Abstract

Over the past decades, there has been a growing interest in environmental issues realizing that humanity depends on the environment and that this environment has been constantly exposed to processes that could threaten the future of humanity. Cities emerged as the most important cause of pollution because they are the place where most industrial goods are produced and consumed. It was also found that a large percentage of the problems of environmental pollution was the result of the failure of the planning authorities in the implementation of the master plan originally laid out to control and control the city. We do not see a reaction from the residents of the region, despite the obvious problems in the study area, which include social and economic problems as well as environmental problems. On the contrary, many people want industrial activities to improve Value of their properties.

  The best way to solve urban areas' problems is at the planning stage
