== Human Interactions Within Urban Environments ==
The development of soft infrastructure within urban areas provide people with ways to connect with one another as a community as well as ways to seek support services.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Dyer |first1=Mark |last2=Dyer |first2=Rachel |last3=Weng |first3=Min-Hsien |last4=Wu |first4=Shaoqun |last5=Grey |first5=Thomas |last6=Gleeson |first6=Richard |last7=Ferrari |first7=Tomás García |date=2019-12-01 |title=Framework for soft and hard city infrastructures |journal=Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Urban Design and Planning |language=en |volume=172 |issue=6 |pages=219–227 |doi=10.1680/jurdp.19.00021 |s2cid=209056612 |issn=1755-0793|doi-access=free |hdl=10289/15706 |hdl-access=free }}</ref> Community infrastructure includes areas and services that allow human beings to interact with one another. Such interactions can be facilitated through health services, educational institutions, outreach centers, and community groups. Human interactions with their urban environments can lead to both positive and negative effects. Humans depend on their environment in order to get essential resources, such as good air quality, food and shelter. This natural environmental dependence can lead to the over exploitation of natural resources as the need for such resources increase. Humans can also modify their environment in order to meet their goals. For instance, humans can clear land or agriculture in order to develop urbanized buildings such as commercial skyscrapers and public housing. The clearing of land to pave the way for urbanization can lead to negative environmental impacts such as deforestation, decreased air quality, and wild life displacement.
