WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Global urbanization ultimately leads to poverty. As the rate of unemployment increases, more and more people continue to sink beneath the poverty line. Also, as the population increases and the urban areas become more and more congested, the state government starts losing track of the population.

Detailed explanation-2: -Some of the major health problems resulting from urbanization include poor nutrition, pollution-related health conditions and communicable diseases, poor sanitation and housing conditions, and related health conditions.

Detailed explanation-3: -These are inadequate water supply, poor waste collection and disposal systems, unprotected foodstuffs leading to adulteration and contamination, slum housing, pollution of air, land and waterways and poor environmental housekeeping.

Detailed explanation-4: -Crowding (higher density of population) and peoples apathy to other persons’ problems is another problem growing out of city life. Some homes (which consist of one single room) are so overcrowded that five to six persons live in one room. Overcrowding has very deleterious effects.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some of the problems of urbanisation are pollution, an increase in the number of slums which are highly unhygienic, traffic congestions and so on. Taking important steps like better urban planning and waste management can go a long way into reducing the problems brought about by urbanisation.
