2. CAUSE

Rapid urbanization
Causes of urbanization include: Industrial Growth: The explosion of industrialization and manufacturing enterprises within
a certain urban area gives rise to more employment opportunities — which is another factor of urbanization. Employment:
Rural areas commonly are agricultural

Poor Planning

In developing any plan for a community (whether commercial, residential, agricultural, natural or recreational), urban
planners must consider a wide array of issues including sustainability, existing and potential pollution, transport including
potential congestion, crime, land values, economic development, social structure without these consideration it will lead to
poor and weak planning.

Poverty
The main causes of poverty in the country include the following:

 low to moderate economic growth for the past 40 years;

 low growth elasticity of poverty reduction;
 weakness in employment generation and the quality of jobs generated;
 failure to fully develop the agriculture sector;
 high inflation during crisis periods;
 high levels of population growth;
 high and persistent levels of inequality (incomes and assets), which dampen the positive impacts of economic
expansion; and
 recurrent shocks and exposure to risks such as economic crisis, conflicts, natural disasters,and "environmental
poverty."

3. EFFECTS

Rapid urbanization
Intensive urban growth can lead to greater poverty, with local governments unable to provide services for all people.
Concentrated energy use leads to greater air pollution with significant impact on human health. Automobile exhaust
produces elevated lead levels in urban air.

Poor planning

Inadequately planned and managed cities also create new risks which threaten to erode current development gains. The
lack of adequate infrastructure and services, unsafe housing, inadequate and poor health services can turn natural
hazard into a disaster.

Poverty

Nearly all the potential effects of poverty impact the lives of children—poor infrastructure, unemployment, malnutrition,
domestic violence, child labor, and disease.

4. RECOMMENDATION

A RECOMMENDATION TO REDUCED OR POSSIBLY GET RID OF SLUMS IS TO PROVIDE A PROPER HOUSING

AND MORE OPPURTUNITIES OUTSIDE THE CITY OR CONGESTED AREA IN ABLE TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO
LIVE OUTSIDE THE SLUM AREA.

THE HOUSING SHOULD INCLUDE

 Durable housing of a permanent nature that protects against extreme climate conditions.
 Sufficient living space, which means not more than three people sharing the same room.
 Easy access to safe water in sufficient amounts at an affordable price.
 Access to adequate sanitation in the form of a private or public toilet shared by a reasonable number of people.
 Security of tenure that prevents forced evictions.
