Solutions for the Issues of Urbanization

Content: Social causes
It is observed that young people living in rural areas have the desire to get the taste of urban life. They have the urge to lead a life of richness and indulge in youthful activities. Hence, they migrate to urban areas. Again, due to lack of employment, such people either experience immense poverty or resort to illicit activities. Naturally, the crime rate in urban areas increases and causes a hindrance in urban development. 6. Degradation of the environment
Industrialization leads to rampant deforestation, mining activity, and expansion of industries. Naturally, the land of farming families is destroyed. In most cases, these families aren’t compensated for the loss of property. Sometimes, the mining companies provide small funds to the families to help those migrated to urban areas.
