Why urbanization is a threat?

Urbanization poses a threat due to the rapid growth of cities often outpacing infrastructure development, leading to overcrowding, inadequate housing, and increased strain on public services. It can exacerbate environmental issues, such as air and water pollution, loss of green spaces, and increased carbon emissions. Additionally, urbanization can widen socioeconomic disparities, as marginalized populations may be pushed to the outskirts or forced into informal settlements lacking basic amenities. This complex interplay can destabilize communities and erode quality of life.
