What breakdown of traditions increased levels of pollution and the expansion of slums are negative aspects of?

The breakdown of traditional communal practices and values, particularly in rapidly urbanizing areas, often leads to increased pollution and the expansion of slums. As people migrate to cities for economic opportunities, the loss of traditional land stewardship results in unsustainable resource use and environmental degradation. Additionally, the lack of infrastructure and planning in these burgeoning urban areas contributes to the proliferation of slums, where waste management and sanitation are severely inadequate. This combination exacerbates pollution and deteriorates living conditions for inhabitants.
