It is true that day by day
population
is increasing at an alarming rate and due to
this
, there are many migrants to urban areas, which brings many problems. The problems are an
increase
in the prices of rents and flats and
air
pollution
.
However
, both
government
and individual play an integral role to solve
such
problems like creating employment in a rural area and using public transport respectively.
One of the main problems related to overpopulation of metro cities is the prices of rents and residential areas are soaring.
This
is because of the majority of
po
rom the rural areas to urban areas, that requires more flats to be constructed in the cities.
As a result
, due to shortage of land, the owners of flat
increase
the price of rent and builders
increase
the prices for new construction of flats. Another issue arises from
this
is an
increase
in the rate of
air
pollution
. To elucidate, due to more
population
in the cities, there are many industries which release many harmful gases in the
air
and many vehicles
such
as cars, bikes and buses on the roads which emits a lot of smoke.
This
contributes to
air
pollution
.
For example
, in Mumbai, since the
last
decade, the level of
air
pollution
has increased from 75% to 90%, which is due to an
increase
in the
population
and shifting of many migrants.
However
, in order to resolve these problems the
government
and an individual play an important role. In terms of the
government
, they can create many job opportunities in rural areas so that many people over there do not shift to cities for improving their standard of living or fulfilling their basic needs.
Similarly
, the higher authorities could give tax concession to many industrialists to open new factories in the urban areas in order to create more jobs over there. In terms of an individual, they could use public transport or car pooling system to reduce the level of
air
pollution
.
For example
, in Japan, many people started using the car pooling system for commuting from home to work, which resulted in the reduction of
air
pollution
by 25%.
In conclusion, the
population
is increasing at a rapid pace in the cities, which brings problems as the
air
gets polluted and prices of accommodation. Only when the
government
will create more jobs in the urban areas and an individual start using public transport
instead
of private cars, will these problems be solved.
