The major rapid growth of different populations in our megacities comes at the wrong time. Global population growth is currently in the process from all the poorest parts of countries. Especially when it comes to destinations such as Africa and India. Clearly, India is a growing population with even increasing education levels, which is likely to put India as a power player in the future. According to the different UN Projections, India’s urban population will increase by nearly 250 million in close to 20 years.
However India has its troubles as well when it comes to making sure their people are safe, and taken care of. For example, when it comes to the cause of Mumbai’s village’s; these economies are desperately in need of some assistance when it comes to the crowdedness. Most of its population growth has mostly been driven by the different people that travel in and out of the city. This should be understood, and looked at heavily if we want to maintain the idea of India being a mega city that can sustain its demographic scope, we need to address the new challenges these cities may face. Another problem that may face the world’s megacities is the economic projections of growth within the past projections. …show more content…
Growth is usually seen in the most prosperous regions of the world, with cities like Tokyo and Osaka. According to a 2014 report by the U.N Tokyo is the world’s largest city with a population of 38 million inhabitants. That is big enough to fit the entire population of California. Surprisingly, Tokyo has been tracking slow growth in recent times. Nagoya a city in Japan grew about 6 percent in recent years, and Tokyo has only seen a 7 percent growth in recent years. The UN stated in a report last year that 54% of the worlds population now live in different urban areas, and this number is expected to have a proportional increase to 66% by 2050. This evidence is profound in fact, it shows the true historic leaps that megacities can have on the world population in the near future. Most of these megacities still have a slim chance of gaining international economic prominence, because most lack judicial structures, the newest technology that creates a successful working class that can use its smartness to create an atmosphere of innovative ideas. 3. When we look back at the earliest periods of the megacities, the main challenges were the scope of large scale urbanization. Most of the Greek cities were small, and posses midiscule levels of technology for coping adequate growth. Rome in particular was prone to a lot of fires throughout periods. Unhealthy conditions made life way more lethal than outside of the city. Many also may argue that Rome’s stew system was well ahead of its time, but still lacked plumbing problems that caused issues with diseases that could have spread. For example, raw sewage ran down the arrest of Berlin since only a small percentage of houses posses water areas to dispose of waste leading to outbreaks of all types of disease. When people continued to dump their feces into different rivers, there were reoccurring outbreaks. This push encouraged many people in the city to begin looking elsewhere, not just for opportunity, but for a safe and healthier lifestyle. London also had problems of wide gaps of income inequality throughout the industrial cities (like what may be occurring in megacities presently) that contributed to the rise of infant mortality rates. London’s mortality rates were higher than those in other countrysides until the mid 1920s. Megacities today may not have high mortality rates, however we do see current levels of wealth inequality within the middle class and the people who may earn higher levels of income presently in America. According to the OECD, the richest 10 percent of American households earn about 28 percent of the overall income pie. Throughout the Arab world most of the its megacities were affected by plagues early that swept through different countries. Because of inadequate access to health care during the time, many people fled to other areas, leaving entire buildings vacant. As cities in their earlier periods continue to increase in population the economic and domestic problems contrived as well. Most of the large cities were susceptible to different plagues that swept the parts of North Africa, Middle East, and other parts of
