People living in large cites today face many problems in their everyday life. What are these problems? Should governments encourage people to move to smaller regional towns?

The modern world has experienced individuals migrating from rural areas to urban centres,and

that is

why many

city

dwellers have been exposed to several challenges in their day to day

life

.Some of the challenges are; congestion and pollution.In my view,the ruling state should put in place a proper urban plan and devolve services in order to minimise migration.

City

life

has its own fair share of problems.

Firstly

,since many people are opting for town

life

,

consequently

congestion settle in.To illustrate

this

the urban development is overwhelmed with individuals,

thus

the

houses

available are not enough to cater for the growing

population

.For ,example the sprouting of informal settlements is seen in most parts of the

towns

.

Secondly

,

towns

are associated with numerous industries and manufacturing locations,because of

this

the

city

population

is prone to many health-related illnesses from industries.

For instance

,the recent report by the Ministry of Health indicated that 80% of the

city

population

suffers from health conditions that result from the industries.

Thus

,urban

life

is faced with either overpopulation or several hazardous from the pollution.

On the other hand

,the government has various measures that can help minimise the challenges.

To begin

with,It can devolve some of the services to lower-level communities.If the common basic requirements are put closer to people,

this

solution can reduce the number of them travelling to

towns

.Another important activity , the state can do is to get involved in the urban planning development and build modern

houses

that the

population

can afford.When the planning is done by the relevant authority

this

can limit the coming up of informal settlement.

Moreover

,the building of affordable

houses

will reduce significantly congestion in the cities.

Therefore

,proper planning and building of cheap affordable

houses

are significant measures to rural-urban migration. To conclude,

although

,cities provide a lucrative platform for jobs it posses a serious threat to overpopulation and health conditions.

However

,the state has a responsibility of not only developing urban plans but

also

erecting affordable

houses

. And

also

devolving the services to the local areas to discourage travelling of people to

towns

.
