Some Authors Believe That Urbanisation Is A Modern Disease

Some authors believe that urbanisation is a "Modern Disease". In not less than 250 words if you agree or disagree with it.
In developing countries, people who come from rural often tend to migrate to big cities where the living conditions are probably better than their hometowns. This phenomenon called urbanisation perhaps has caused a number of serious troubles. Its two drawbacks many people could easily recognize are that not only may the traffic system be declined but the standard of living would be deteriorated. First of all, once the traffic system in urban no longer afford huge transports taking place every day, a lot of adverse effects could occur. Congestion might happen more often, especially, in rush hours when many means of transportations join together simultaneously. For instance, in Ho Chi Minh City, a city called the capital of economy, one of the cities in developing countries where urbanisation come about with rapid speed, traffic jams appear from 7am to 9am in the morning and form 4pm to 5:30pm in the afternoon. As a result, traffic accidents can also arise. Another disadvantage is perhaps the degenerated standard of living. The rate of crime would grow because civilians coming from countryside’s, often are not well-educated, so in order to maintain their life in big cities where contain a number of competitions and challenges they could commit the crime which is maybe one of the easiest ways to make money. Secondly, slums are possibly created because they are the appropriate places for unemployed who have relatively low disposable incomes. Consequently, criminals often were born in these areas. In conclusion, urbanisation is one of the hardships for governments in developing nations in modern life. It could result in several bad effects for cities not only in traffic system, the standard of city dweller life but in other results.

THIS ESSAY WOULD GET BAND 6.0-6.5
Urbanization is the process by which people living in the rural areas shift to the urban areas in order to find a better life. Since medieval times people have been migrating to the places where resources are in abundance. This process is being in witnessed all over the world, and many consider it to be bad thing. Some even regard urbanization to be a “Modern Disease”. Before embarking in to any conclusion I would like to see both the aspects of the topic.
The shift or movement to the city creates many opportunities for the people. It is very easy to find jobs in the city area and people can even operate as small businessmen. I would like to talk about my own city. Many multinational companies have been opening their offices in the city which has resulted in better job opportunities for all the people. People move to the urban areas in an effort to acquire better education and healthcare for themselves.
There are also some problems which were created by the process of urbanization. As people move towards the city it gets harder for some people to find the high-paying job which they deserve. People who come from the rural areas are desperate to find a job, so agree to work at a low salary which deprives the professional people from getting a job. It is very hard to provide housing to the people who are coming from the rural areas. When people gather in a concentrated area the developers have to build apartment building which triggers the traffic problem.
It is the sole responsibility of the people in the rural areas to do the farming, and when they migrate to the metros it creates food problem in the entire country. Many countries have been encountered by this dilemma. When these people move to the urban areas to find job in the service industry it cripples the agricultural industry of the country.
I think that it would be a better decision for people in the rural areas to live in their areas but I think the government should make an effort of providing better schools and hospitals in the rural areas
Urbanization (or urbanisation) is the increase in the population of cities in proportion to the region's rural population

Impacts

1. The urban areas have become concrete jungle.
2. Approximately 10% of the farmers provide for 90% of the population which is huge load on the farmers.
3. Pollution is on the rise and affects global warming.
4. Deforestation(the conversion of forested areas to non-forest land use such as arable land, pasture, urban use, logged area, or wasteland) takes place.
Deforestation affects the amount of water in the soil and groundwater and the moisture in the atmosphere.
Shrinking forest cover lessens the landscape's capacity to intercept, retain and transport precipitation. Instead of trapping precipitation, which then percolates to groundwater systems, deforested areas become sources of surface water runoff, which moves much faster than subsurface flows. That quicker transport of surface water can translate into flash flooding and more localized floods than would occur with the forest cover.
However, the critics of urbanization argue that as too many people move to major cities in recent years, there is greater competition for jobs. This means only people with greatest ability can remain staying in these cities. Often they have to work the jobs that they have to exert themselves so hard, such as the works in construction sites, and are often in dangers which can cause death to them. Big cities nowadays are facing the problems of overpopulation and the most obvious is the lack of space for people to live. Often, people from poor villages when they move to an urban area they have no choice but to live in the places which have no electricity and clean drink water. Some people even have to live under a bridge or in a park. Moreover, the expansion of city often leads to trees have to be cut off for buildings to rise. The reduced amount of trees can be easily linked to a rapid fall in the quality of air which can severely damage the health of many people.

In conclusion, after considering both sides of urbanization, more bad is felt to be resulted from this phenomenon than good. As such, the rapid increasing trend in the number of city life should be carefully managed by strict policies.
