Abstract

Urbanization, combined with unsustainable agricultural practices, climate change, and pollution, poses a significant threat to soil health, leading to degradation with far-reaching impacts on ecosystems and human well-being. This article explores these challenges and specifically focuses on how urbanization affects soil health by degrading its quality and limiting its ability to sustain life. The study examines the dynamics of soil humification, the potential of urban soils to store carbon, and the critical impacts on food production and public health. Through a comprehensive analysis that includes geographical perspectives on soil-related issues, the article highlights innovative management strategies that can enhance the productivity and sustainability of urban soils. It emphasizes the urgent need to integrate soil science into environmental and urban planning to mitigate these negative impacts and promote a sustainable future.
