On Urbanization

Increasing urbanisation may turn cities into concrete jungles unless due care and concern is given in increasing the civic amenities proportionately to the influx.Fresh air, water, sanitation, greenery, roads ,traffic ,pollution are the crucial factors to be considered.What I believe personally is, it is the increase in population density rather than the increase in population what aggravates the problems in urban areas.It is common to observe too many people preferring to stay in too small and too busy an area.

If due attention is paid by providing faster access , granting special permissions for construction, incentives in municipal taxes, travel discounts for commuters etc for people from outskirts, incentivising edu care and medicare facilities in the outskirts, the intensity of the problem can be toned down and the residents also will have the advantage of spacious premises with lesser cost with access to almost all the amenities being ensured.There is a need for rethinking on the part of the people too.In summary decentralisation of development in urban areas is to be considered to prevent congestion.
