Society is experiencing an increase in many problems such as crime and drug abuse due to urbanization .
Give some suggestions to control this trend.
Cities are growing rapidly. In a recent visit to Manchester 's Urbis museum in the United Kingdom which is devoted to cities of the world and their development , I learned that currently almost half the world's population lives in cities and that in the next twenty years urban settings will contain up to three quarters of all humanity. However, it would seem that problems associated with rapid urbanization such as crime and drug abuse are growing even faster.
Notwithstanding the human misery that crime and drug abuse causes,dangerous urban areas are viewed as holding up much needed development in cities throughout the world. Investors are often unenthusiastic about initiating economic ventures because of the threat of crime and drug related violence. It goes without saying that the security of cities is vital for economic and social development, to say the least. In response to this realization there is a growing trend in urban planing in some counties which is taking aim at wide-scale problems like crime and narcotics abuse.
As far as I can see, planners and developers who consult residents systematically about changes in store for the development of problematic urban areas have a far greater chance at success . By keeping those residents informed,who will benefit directly from plans for urban restructuring to reduce crime, will instill a sense of responsibility which is often absent in urban communities .
