Question

URBANIZATION IS A KEY ROLE TO MODERNIZATION BUT FILLED WITH MANY PROBLEMS  DISCUSS THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS OF URBANIZOTION

Answer 1

Urbanisation is without a doubt a necessity in showcasing the progress and prosperity of a nation. The glitz and glamour, the hype and hoopla and the picture postcard beauty catch a visitor's eye instantly. This helps in promoting the country as a good investment destination.
But, behind the modernisation of cities are a lot of accompanying problems that we often seem to ignore. Two of these are extremely heart-wrenching and they relate to the lesser off in the society. In order to make room for modernisation, many poor people living in slums around the city are displaced to make way for high-rise structures. The other natural consequence of modernisation is the influx of migrant labourers from the neighbouring areas, who are underpaid and exploited in every way.Those that are displaced and those that immigrate live in abysmal conditions, as they cannot afford the rising costs of housing and other necessities.
In developing countries like India, urban planning is not done meticulously most of the time. Instead of first building infrastructure like roads and public facilities like schools and hospitals, the cities are witness to tall buildings and beautiful cars as the earliest signs of modernisation. This causes a lot of distress, as the existing facilities become stretched in rendering service, sometimes of a magnitude beyond imagination. Similar is the problem with municipal services, which too must be improved and scaled up before the ball of urbanisation is set rolling in a big way.
