Development is hazardous to natural and build environments

Developing country areas will decrease the amount of poverty throughout all of Asia, including the assistance to the countries economic growth.

The development of road built infrastructure, water availability and aid will assist in the reduction of poverty. “Infrastructure development is a driving factor that can affect poverty negatively and positively. Infrastructure is important for poverty reduction. This can be the case where development aid, road construction or water and sanitary investments have been made with poverty reduction in mind.” - (Environmental Knowledge of Change)

The increased development and aid from more developed countries would help reduce the amount of poverty in many developing countries, also helping the population’s health while helping to deteriorate the amount of poverty driven families.

Economic growth can be helped by increasing the amount of contact within inland areas around Asia. “Rapid economic growth in recent years has put enormous pressure on Asia’s transport, energy, and communications infrastructure. Unless these can be improved, they will continue to be a bottleneck to growth…Better connectivity with inland areas, for instance, would boost trade and economic growth in both coastal areas and inland…Following the 1997–1998 Asian financial crisis, countries with significant investments in infrastructure recovered faster than others...Consequently, regional infrastructure will need to be geared more towards supporting Asian production networks and regional supply chains to accelerate the return to the higher growth trajectory and further bolster the growth momentum.” - (Infrastructure for a Seamless Asia)

As long as Asia’s economic growth still goes the way it is going, there will be a mass downfall in the economy. Asia’s financial crisis did not improve the development, and has damaged the progress for the areas infrastructure that could be improving.

Not only will the development of infrastructure help reduce poverty and help the economy in Asia, but it will help the population’s job deficiency.

Building infrastructure for countries helps a larger amount of people to receive a stable income, and helps enlarge the size of towns and cities throughout Asia attempting to make Asia ...

This is a preview of the whole essay

Not only will the development of infrastructure help reduce poverty and help the economy in Asia, but it will help the population’s job deficiency.

Building infrastructure for countries helps a larger amount of people to receive a stable income, and helps enlarge the size of towns and cities throughout Asia attempting to make Asia the pinnacle of the developing world reaching for the ‘tallest buildings, highest skyscrapers’ etc.

Increasing the amount of large building in cities will enable more of the population to receive a job and bring income to families, helping the economy at the same time. “The infrastructure assistance program is designed to create new permanent jobs and retain existing jobs, primarily for low- and moderate-income persons. This program encourages new business development, expansions and retentions of businesses located in non-entitlement cities and counties (that shall minimize, to the extent practicable, displacement of existing businesses and jobs in neighborhoods)” - (Infrastructure Assistance) The expansion of buildings and the increased job availability would help alleviate people from unemployment and achieve helps bring attention to the surrounding city that the infrastructure is in. . The permanent jobs that will be enclosed within the buildings being made will help people make a new life for themselves, and minimize the amount of jobs that get taken out of businesses at unsuitable times for the person getting fired.

The increased infrastructure not only helps the people living in the city being developed, but it also increases the tourism of Asia, as every building that gets made now days, is fighting against other surrounding buildings for the most attention and try to develop the tourism destination choices for the buildings given area. “The project was formerly titled “Improving Connectivity and Destination Infrastructure for Sub-regional Tourism Development Project”. The main objective of the Improving Connectivity and Destination Infrastructure for Sub-regional Tourism Development Project is to improve tourist destinations” (South Asia Tourism Infrastructure Development). This evidence by the South Asia Tourism Development project clearly states the reasoning of infrastructure development, which is to increase the amount of tourism in Asia. This reasoning is also related to the development in all other countries, as all countries are aiming for more money, which in turn needs people and their wallets to contribute to the economy and help develop more of the countries infrastructure and environment.

Though the development of infrastructure is helping the tourism in Asia and job availability, it does not assist the natural environment in any way, and also is starting to remove the historical significance of buildings around Asia.

While increased development assists the increase of jobs and also assists the economy, it destroys the natural environment and helps to escalate the amount of building sites in Asia and removes the history of Asia’s buildings as the change of time, changes the perspective of humans today and their perception of what other people want to see.
