Urbanization is a modern disease

In these modernized and sophisticated technological world people wants to


constantly upgrade their life style, working conditions, education and other basic
necessities. Resultantly, they start migrate from rural areas to urban areas which
leads to increase in the urbanization, which is a harmful aspect at some extent for
the future. Some authors believe that urbanization is a modern disease in the
meantime. To my mind, they are right and I agree with this view. In this parley, I
will highlight some repercussions of increase in the population of urban areas.
There are so many repercussions behind the urbanization but in this piece
of writing, I will highlight on some of them.
Rapidly increase in the population of urban areas is polluting the
environment at such an extent that ozone layer is depleting day by day which
increases global warming and it is the most dangerous threat for the living things.
Urbanization leads to increase in the traffic which creates frustration in people
minds. Cities are becoming a concrete jungle with the passage of time, a drastic
increase in the number of housing societies by deforestation, which is also a
serious issue for getting fresh oxygen and to enjoy the blessings and beauty of the
nature. People who shift from the country side to modern cities; mostly they
failed to get any appropriate employment in the highly competitive environment
of the cities which provokes them to start heinous crimes in order to fulfill their
basic necessities of life. Resultantly, slums are possibly created because it is the
appropriate shelter for those unemployed people. Consequently, criminals often
born in these areas and to curb these criminals is a challenge to the metropolitan
police. 10% farmers are seeding for the 90% people, which is an unbearable and
huge load on the farmers. Degrading our nature caused natural disasters like
earthquakes, tsunamis, land sliding, volcano eruption are the most common.
Human beings are constantly destroying the nature on the name of progress and
development to raise their living standard, which is not an achievement, in reality
its the seeding of devastation and to deteriorate our lifes.
To sum up this writing, I just want to blow my whistle as loud as I can to
wake up those rural residents to stop migrating from their beloved birth place, in
this way, we can also prevent our lifes to entangle into the abyss. You and I can
raise our living standards on our birth place areas by just putting a painstakingly
efforts. No one can prevent all of us from further catastrophes because we
already devastate this beloved land so much and if we dont stop destroying this
planet more, then one day it will be a necropolis.
