Globalization and the Economic Geography of the GGH

Because of the economic development all over the GGH the can only result in the use of more cars, especially since some of the main places of work outside of Toronto are the megazones some of which are along the 400 series highway. because of this we are seeing a change in the environment and the impacts cars really have on it. Many areas of work can still be accessed through public transit but seeing that in the downtown core subways and busses are so packed during rush hours it can only result badly for getting outside of the city during the hustle and bustle of the city. Because of the increasing population of the city the transportation is essential for many people, because of this a lot of traffic occurs, simply canceling out efficient public transit. Same goes for cars, because of the many jobs outside of the city it's you're bound to hit some traffic either on your way there or back home.  

For our secondary work loss in the GGH, many being factory workers, they are left with no job and needing a steady income to fit the needs and costs of living in Toronto. Nowadays education can be a huge part in achieving a well paying job, leaving these people who are losing their job seeming uneducated when trying to find a new one. This also puts stress on high school students and graduates trying to figure out a sense of what it is exactly they want to do when they are older, what they're passionate about, and if they are going to be able to live in Toronto with the salary of whatever it is they want to do. 

The high cost of living in Toronto is causing people to live in very low income areas or simply moving out of the city to where work may not be as accessible or paying an adequate amount for their living situation. Also increasing the homeless population because the increased housing prices are just too difficult to meet. Leaving them without any resources to even survive on their own outside. 

Seeing now that climate change is very visible in the GGH we have to take action to save our farmers, lake, wildlife, air, and the health of people of Toronto. The urbanization of the city and the growing population is causing mass production of goods like food, automobiles, and any equipment needed to move forward with urbanization. The impacts of climate change on the food and crop industries had led to not having enough to distribute throughout the GGH, causing more genetically modified foods and the increase of price because of the high demand.
