ESSAY TOPIC – Problems of Overpopulation of Urban Areas
Most countries worldwide are currently facing aggressive challenges by increasingly
urban areas and it is the responsibility of both policymakers (Government) and citizens to find
solutions to solve this problem. In several major cities, overcrowding will lead to congestion and
impoverished-quality housing. Poorly heated up or humid housing could cause serious health
problems, which could lead to illness, like bronchitis/pneumonia and so on. Including this, it has
been found that there are some other serious effect of overcrowding was taken into consideration
which has raised crime rate due to poor living conditions may lead young people in particular to
take desperate measures and turn to crime or drugs (Worldwatch: Nine population strategies to
stop short of 9 billion, 2012).
As far as arrangements, I accept the administration ought to be to a great extent when it
comes to be dependable on different rules and regulations. I have analysed that, it is
indispensable that the nations has given fundamental lodging and human services to every one of
its residents. Furthermore, setting up network tasks to help encouraging youngsters so that they
could stay away from various vulnerable situations and may think smart as well. This could be
understood with a good example where, night classes along with the youth clubs for adolescents
would keep them involved among good deeds. At long last, progressively powerful policing of
down town territories would likewise be advantageous. Also it is said that, people ought to
likewise attempt to address these issues. One route is to squeezed the administration to guarantee
they handle the issues by, for example, shaping activity gatherings to campaign the legislature
and solicitation intercession and sufficient subsidizing (Khanzode, Chakrapani and
Tippannanavar, 2019).
Based on both of the articles, the best solution that came in front is spreading awareness
of different options that can effectively be taken into consideration by both the sexes, so that
right decisions could effectively be taken. On the other hand, delivering right education to
correct individuals related to sexuality (students), would help both government and individuals to
reduce the chances of overpopulation. Another strategy that came in front is putting prices over
different areas in relation to environmental costs along with it's impact as well. With the help of
this, it is may be possible that appropriate strategies could effectively be developed that will lead
to improvise the educational level in relation to strategies (Antoniou and et. al., 2018).

It is also required by government to take into consideration of citizen's voice when it
comes to reduce the violence along with the conflicts among them, which raised crime rates.
Hence, it can easily be said that issues that are caused by overpopulation within urban
cities are really very serious in nature. Also, it is said that if individuals or governments would
not take become collectively responsible then it is may be possible that they might reduce the
chances or reducing the increasing number of population. Therefore, it is said that much effective
policing of inner city areas will directly lead to enhance the chances of appropriate collaboration
among individuals and government as well.
