Essay title: ‘

What are some of the key issues facing cities around the world in the twenty-first century?

Commentary on essay title :

An effective answer would outline some of the key urban trends and issues introduced in this opening
chapter and would provide some examples of these issues from cities around the world drawing on
academic research into cities. It might also look to suggest which of these issues are the most
challenging ones facing cities. An excellent answer would look to move beyond this extended list and
critically explore why these issues face cities and why they present particular challenges. It would also
look to set discussion more widely within academic writing on the city, evaluating different perspectives,
or lenses, adopted to look at urban issues.(350 words only)

Answer:

Almost half the world's population now lives in urban areas and, as cities grow even larger, conditions
for civil cities are likely to get worse. This continuously swelling population, if not properly addressed,
will lead to several very serious problems. The most critical key issues facing cities around the world in
the twenty-first century are urbanization or increasing population in urban areas and pollution, Global
Warming. Firstly, urbanization, Such great increases in the urban population numbers lead to related
problems like insufficient homes, lack of schools and poor health and sewerage facilities. Urban areas
have more jobs to offer and can lure people out of rural areas with the promise of a better life and a
higher-paying salary. People find more jobs in virtually every industry while looking in cities and towns
than they do searching rural locations. There are more people in urban areas, which means there is
more demand. The increased demand opens the door to employment opportunities for a lot of people
who can’t find a job in their rural hometown.

In developing countries, employment opportunities often open rapidly through the process of
industrialization. Every developing country goes through a period of industrialization, where jobs move
from agriculture to production. People begin to move to cities and towns more frequently, adding to the
urbanization of that country. The region with the most rapid population growth within the next 35 years
is expected to be Africa, according to the PRB report. Nigeria's population, for example, is projected to
double by 2050.

Pollution is abundant in cities due to dangerous gases being released into the atmosphere and toxic
effluents being dumped daily into streams and rivers. These cause significant pollution of air and water.
This sorry scenario is the result of billions of selfish decisions made by millions of uncaring individuals.

Next, cutting down of trees and forests to make way for agriculture and human habitation causes
destructive floods to occur, animals to be deprived of their habitat and become extinct, and
temperatures to rise. Ironically, the participation and support of governments and corporations in the
name of development is like adding salt to the wound.
