The increase in population outpaced the expansion of the city’s infrastructures and led to fragmentation between urban and peri-urban areas. A combination of unplanned urban sprawl, deficits in water and energy infrastructures, and worsening traffic congestion gave rise to numerous environmental problems. The extremely high levels of air pollution have received particular attention from scientists, policymakers, NGOs and mass media. However, other environmental resources, such as water and soil, have been significantly impacted. So far, the public health effects of the degrading urban environment are only partly understood. In the future, integrated approaches that consider urban infrastructural multiplicity and the interlinkages between different environmental domains are needed to transform Ulaanbaatar into a healthier city. One promising approach in this context is the Resource Nexus concept, as it considers synergies and trade-offs between resource-specific goals. UNBIS Thesaurus MONGOLIA
