Strategies to manage these environmental problems
Cities use a range of strategies to tackle pollution and dereliction. These include laws, technology, and land clean-up schemes.
Real World
London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), expanded to all 32 boroughs in August 2023, cut roadside NO₂ levels by up to 44% in inner London, showing how charging polluting vehicles can rapidly improve air quality in a major city.
Exam Focus
Evaluate strategies by weighing their effectiveness against limitations (cost, enforcement, displacement of pollution) rather than simply listing them.
