Question

how can overcrowding in cities be managed

Answer 1

Every year, thousands of city dwellers arrive home to overcrowded and illegally subdivided houses. Kitchens, dining areas, sheds and even under-stairs cupboards are converted to serve as bedrooms.  

Migrants, students, and families are forced into cramped living conditions by the immense pressures on housing in growing cities. Homes are illegally subdivided into increasingly tiny units to accommodate booming populations; often this involves haphazard electricity and plumbing arrangements, raising serious safety concerns.

The grave consequences of overcrowding need to be urgently addressed by governments. Cities must provide affordable, quality and safe housing. To fulfill this duty many cities, including Boston and NYC, are looking to data to solve the crisis.
