Around the world more and more people are living in urban areas. Why is this? What problems does this cause?

It goes without saying that due to industrialisation and development of technology the pace of urbanisation has increased many folds. More and more people are shifting to the cities citing the better

employment

, lifestyle and facilities available in the cities.

However

,

this

has led to some problems as well. The following paragraphs shall delve into the reasons and the issues caused by

this

urbanization.

To begin

with, cities are often seen as places with better

employment

, amenities and lifestyle. The Rapid development of urban areas caused by industrialisation has resulted in more

employment

opportunities and

this

has resulted in the people of the countryside to move into cities.

For example

, in most of the factories and industries,the people from nearby rural areas perform labour work.

This

results in the migration of these people to cities.

Moreover

, the better facilities in urban areas, either it is education or health care

also

place a vital role in

this

migration process.

However

, there are some drawbacks of urbanization. With more and more people coming in, the pressure on already limited resources of cities is increasing.

Furthermore

, the huge traffic jams, overcrowded public transport in the metropolitan are some perfect examples of the problems caused by

this

trend.

In addition

to

this

, rapid urbanization has not only resulted in inflation in real estate but

also

to higher the pollution levels in the cities,

hence

making the living there expensive as well as unhealthy. In conclusion, better

employment

opportunities and lifestyle has made the people come to the cities,

however

,the problems like pollution, traffic congestion, overcrowdedness, inflation extra caused by

this

has made city life not so fancy.
