Problems with rapid urbanisation

There are physical and health-related problems associated with rapid urbanisation:

1. Increase in crime rates as more people may be homeless due to overcrowding and lack of housing.
2. Overpopulation puts a strain on public services such as healthcare and education.
3. Limited access to water and electricity due to overcrowding.
4. Lack of housing and employment. May be a rise in the informal sector.
5. Possible deterioration in health due to increases in air pollution and traffic congestion.
