URBANIZATION AND ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT
Yasin et al. (2019) explained, "the advantageous environmental impacts of urbanization which offsets its harmful effects, might be due to numerous reasons. Such as: Urbanization is accompanied with higher income levels which not only boosts the environment-friendly services sector but also intensifies the demand for environmental quality which reduces Ecological Footprints (EF). Secondly, urbanization also reduces EF due to better facilities and improved living standards as compared to rural areas. Thirdly, urbanization may lead towards the research and development and innovation which reduces EF ultimately."
