Some urban problems.
Shanghai has a traffic and transit problem. There is a big demand for more severices and each year the demand increses.
Housing is another problem in Shanghai. 1.8 million households are overcrowded. Some houses only have 4 square meters of area to build on. Shanghai's growing population is another problem. There are lots of people coming into the city who want to live or study. The city is running out of space to build new houses or apartments. Because of the growing population the air and water are getting polluted. Children and and seniors are being told to stay home and not get out of there houses. It is being a major problem and people will not be able to breathe properly in the city. Also because of the polluted air in summer the days are not as sunny as they use to be and the days are getting hazzy. |
