Nowadaysbig cities in many countries become overcrowded. Why? Give some reasons andsolutions for this problem.
Today, it is being noticed that more and more
people are preferring to move and live in bigger urban centers like metros,
cosmopolitan cities and bigger towns, which is resulting in increasing of urban
population at an unprecedented rate. This development and phenomena can be
rooted to many grounds.
The primary cause of the expanding urban crowd can be sourced to the compulsion to seek for better
opportunities in career and education. As the rural areas and towns face a severe shortage of facilities that can assist in providing opportunities
for the people for work and education, the people move towards bigger centers
in pursuit of their objectives and ambitions. Better education and highly paid
jobs and more opportunities for business play a major role in improving the
standard of living of people.
Besides looking for opportunities, people
also seek better amenities like healthcare, transportation, entertainment and
other facilities that are laid by the municipal authorities at the disposal of
the inhabitants of big metropolitans like stable and better electricity and
water supply etc. these facilities are only accessible in big cities and not in
smaller towns and regions.
Several people have suggested ways to prevent
cities from being overcrowded. They feel that the smaller cities, towns and
regions must get all the support of government and authorities and other
important ingredients that can help develop, foster and raise the prospects for
better education. Government must also introduce initiatives that boost
economic activities in regions that are lagging behind. Taking these steps will
definitely stop migration of people to bigger cities.
In conclusion, I feel that this problem is abigger issue and governments across the world must find some workable solutions through juducious planning and affording facilities outside urban locales.
