Population Growth increase tension of resource

Description

For better or worse, global population is increasing by about 1.5 percent per year, a growth rate--should it persist--that in less than half a century will double the number of people who live on the planet. Few will argue with the fact that for any nation--or the world as a whole--population growth is directly linked to both economic development and stresses on the natural environment. What is remarkable is the degree of agreement that exists today regarding not only the problem of rapid population growth, but also the kinds of investments that will be needed to bring about a more stable global population.

Tensions will inevitably arise over resource allocation, because the new strategy for addressing population concerns calls for simultaneous investments in health, education, and the empowerment of women, in addition to contraceptive and reproductive health services.Increasing population requires a large amount of resource which includes land and energy that new architecture technologies and new energies are searching to solve the problem, also produces plenty of pollutants and waste that environment issue is taken into account.

Because of lacking of land, skyscraper and other architecture technologies are used to build enough room to accept increasing offices. As another result of land tension,a systematic shift from rural to urban living is a significant feature of increasing populations which speed the development of transportation technology and establishing of virtual office.

As long as existing energy drying up and pollution more seriously with increasing population, new energy as soar and tide are developed to fill up the need.

Enablers

1. Population control of developing country;
2. International organizations as the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), held in 1994 in Cairo are set up to especially deal with problems comes out of population growth;
3. Extensive international population aid programs were launched by the governments;
4. Technology and design advanced in architecture;
5. Continuous and gradually matured developing of modern communication technology;
6. Speed of green energy exploiture;
7. laws and disciplines coming up to regulate the pollution and waste.
   

Inhabitor

1. New green energies haven't be systematicly used to replace the former ones;
2. Rejection of using technology instead of traditional manual work result from scaring of losing job oppotunity under the severe competition with increasing population;
3. In recently, the economic development still align with the large chemical plant programs which produce a lot of pollution and waste.
