In developed countries, new settlements damage the world. Building them bri=
ngs materials from the world marketplace, causing destruction of nature and=
 atmospheric pollution. The greenhouse gasses emitted by sourcing these mat=
erials cause the emission of large amount of greenhouse gasses.

The lifestyles of the residents in new developments are also damaging. Even=
 if these newcomers wanted to live a world-friendly life-style, they would =
find it impossible because the other residents are mostly the affluent who =
live high-carbon lifestyles with a high level of car ownership. Consequentl=
y these developments do not have the facilities and organisation necessary =
for low-carbon lifestyles such as local shops and public transport.
