This paper considers the environmental transformations that occur within cities as they get larger, wealthier and better managed - and the environmental implications these bring both for the city inhabitants and for people and ecosystems outside these cities. One reason why the environmental quality of wealthy cities can improve is the capacity of the consumers and producers they concentrate to transfer some of their environmental costs to other people, other regions or into the future. The paper also suggests that the term 'environmental problems' is too broad, and that discussions of such problems have to distinguish between different categories in order to be able to understand how such problems vary between different cities and how they change within each city over time
