In many countries, the quality of life in the large cities is becoming worse. What causes this problem? What measure can be taken to solve it?

It is irrefutable that urbanization is occurring at an unprecedented rate. Unfortunately,

this

development does have some negative aspects.

means that there is a shortage of infrastructure because of which the price of real estate and other products is always higher than normal.

leads to a high density of private vehicles on roads, which leads to traffic jams and high air pollution.

Thus

city

inhabitants have to deal with increasing commuting times and a poor quality of air leading to stress and health problems. Another reason for the worsening

city

life is poor planning. Most

city

planning is done with regards to the current

conditions and problems rather than the problems expected in the future. Creation of slum areas in cities is because of housing shortage due to poor planning, which fails to account for

the rising crime.

This

is due to shortage of law and order personnel, which is again a failure on the part of the urban administration. The solutions are not simple, but many of these problems can be solved with a proper planning.

Firstly

, the government can tackle the problem of high

population

density by controlling the migration to cities.

This

can be done in many ways,

such

as by creating livelihoods in nearby towns and villages. If these jobs employ the people living nearby, they would not have to move into large cities. Government and the real estate businesses can

also

try to plan affordable housing in different areas of cities to ensure that slum areas are not created. A

second

measure could be to create high speed connectivity between nearby towns and cities.

This

would ensure that people commute to cities rather than moving there.

This

has been successfully done by the South Korean government by constructing high speed rail to control the

population

influx into Seoul in Korea.

Lastly

, technology like CCTV and surveillance cameras can be used to reduce crime to a certain extent. To sum up, high

population

pressure and poor planning on the part of urban administration are the main reasons that have impacted the quality of life in large cities.

However

, these problems can certainly be addressed by proper measures.
