Is life better
in cities? Probably not. Many people find that the city of their dreams has
become a
nightmare. Population growth is causing unbelievable overcrowding. Nairobi,
Kenya,
for example, has
basic-series for 200,000 people but will soon have a population of 5 millions.
Mexico City is
home to almost 25 millions. This overcrowding causes many serious problems:
traffic,
pollution, sickness, and crime. There isn't enough water, transportation or
housing. There
aren't enough
sewers; in Sac Paulo, Brazil, for instance, only 40% of the homes are connected
to the city
sewer system, which carries away dirty water and waste through pipes under the
ground. Perhaps
most serious of all, there aren't enough jobs. One-third to one-half of the
people in many
cities in developing nations cannot find work or confined only part-time jobs.
The crisis is
worsening daily; that is; this time of danger and difficulty is becoming more
horrible
everyday.
Population experts tell us that by the year 2025, the population in cities in
developing
nations will
increase to four times its present size.
The situation
seems hopeless, but perhaps it isn't. The answer to the problem is to
provide jobs for
them where they live, where they were born", Takkar says.

in five months,
and. make a payment of one-fifth on the cost every month. This is better than
buying one fifth
of a bicycle at a time and not riding it until you have bought all parts. Many
