范文：
Urbanization has significantly transformed the global landscape, bringing both economic growth and environmental challenges. As cities expand, natural habitats are destroyed, leading to biodiversity loss and increased pollution. For example, rapid urban development often results in deforestation and the conversion of green spaces into concrete jungles, which exacerbates urban heat islands and reduces air quality.
However, sustainable urban planning can mitigate these impacts. Cities can adopt green infrastructure, such as parks and green roofs, to improve air quality and provide habitats for wildlife. Additionally, promoting public transportation and reducing reliance on private vehicles can decrease carbon emissions and traffic congestion. For instance, cities like Copenhagen have successfully implemented bike-friendly policies, reducing their carbon footprint significantly.
In conclusion, while urbanization poses serious environmental challenges, proactive measures can create sustainable urban environments. It is essential for policymakers to prioritize green initiatives to ensure a balanced development between urban growth and environmental protection.
 
参考翻译：
城市化显著地改变了全球的地理景观，带来了经济增长和环境挑战。随着城市的扩张，自然栖息地被破坏，导致生物多样性丧失和污染增加。例如，快速的城市发展常常导致森林砍伐和绿地被转化为混凝土丛林，这加剧了城市热岛效应并降低了空气质量。
然而，可持续的城市规划可以减轻这些影响。城市可以采用绿色基础设施，如公园和绿色屋顶，以改善空气质量并为野生动物提供栖息地。此外，推广公共交通并减少对私家车的依赖可以减少碳排放和交通拥堵。例如，像哥本哈根这样的城市已经成功实施了自行车友好的政策，显著减少了它们的碳足迹。
总之，尽管城市化带来了严重的环境挑战，但积极的措施可以创造可持续的城市环境。政策制定者优先考虑绿色倡议以确保城市增长和环境保护之间的平衡发展至关重要。
