The modern mega-city has many problems. What are the main problems facing large cities today? What should be done to alleviate these problems?

The development of

mega-

city

has increased rapidly which is attracted people to come in the hope of finding a new job. It is undoubtedly that the

city

is the centre of businesses and industrialization which gives more opportunities for a brighter future. In

this

,essay I shall provide some explanations relating the causes where it leads to the increasing level of pollution

as well as

traffic conjunction.

Mega-

city

usually become the place with the highest spending

due to

the consumptive characteristic since the citizens work in the many head offices,

thus

the economic cycle is more rapid in these places.

Therefore

, many job seekers come to

this

city

in the hope of having a job,

however

, some people speculate even though they have no skills.

For example

, in

Jakarta

, the capital of Indonesia, from 2005 until 2022 more than half a million people came to

Jakarta

each year which has made

Jakarta

overpopulate.

This

condition affects the raising number of traffic conjunctions in

this

metropolitan

city

because of the outnumbered population. In my perspective, the government should make a regulation that encourages businesses to build their office in another

city

, reducing the centralization of the head office in

Jakarta

.

On the other hand

,

besides

the offices, the

industry

area is

also

built surrounding the

mega-

city

which raises the level of pollution

such

as Co2 resulting by manufacture industries.

For example

, Tangerang, one of the

mega-

city

city

right next door to

Jakarta

that have hundreds of manufacturing industries. The fact that

Jakarta

is the most consumptive

city

in

this

country makes businessmen build their

industry

around

Jakarta

, reducing their transport costs to the major market.

Thus

,

Jakarta

is declared to be the most air polluted in Indonesia responsible for the low level of citizen's health conditions.

Although

this

Industry

has more profit for the effective distribution cost, they should start to develop in another area, because they can reduce cost from labour cost which is lower in some cities

such

as Semarang, Surabaya and Batang. In conclusion, the main problem of

mega-

city

overpopulation has to be solved by starting to decentralise business offices

as well as

the

industry

areas that have to be built in other cities, lowering urbanization. Starting from now, the government

together with

businessmen should take

this

problem seriously, if there is a synergy between both parties, I do believe the problem can be solved.
