Urban areas have a physical environment that comprises both natural and human-made components. The natural components include landforms, water, climate, and ecosystems, while the human-made components comprise structures and infrastructures. Cities are situated in diverse locations, ranging from river neighborhoods and coastal regions to arid lands, lakes, mountainous terrains, and mixed habitats. Each location boasts its own ecological diversity and environmental variations. The physical environment of urban areas can be classified into domains based on natural and anthropocene criteria. These domains involve variation in landscape, soil and weathering conditions, surface and groundwater, and changes in physicochemical parameters in natural settings and hazards. Human actions affect the environment in various ways. These include changes in land use, modifications in air and water quality, and accidents caused by human activity.
