The Introduction-Sophie

To what extent can be the problem of urbanization is met by a policy of sustainable development?

--- the health problems of urbanisation in developing countries

Introduction:

The majority of the dramatically urbanizing cities probably exists in the least developed countries which has historically originated from demographic and economic transformations over the past few decades. Such a typical phenomenon [does highlight]gr both adverse and advantage effects on the urban communities constantly. Alternatively, it may as well [attribute]v to the housing problem, social crime, traffic congestion or environmental contamination and so on. (Vlahov & Galea,2002) [The record]? of the United Nation(1990), Urbanisation is the growth in the ratio of population migrating from rural areas into the cities and towns. That is, a sleepy city of thousands people has suddenly mushroomed to a swarming areas with millions of heads crowded in the street.( Harpham,1994)

Nevertheless, based on the published literature and evidence in the third world, this paper attempts to analyse and evaluate the dimensions of metropolises that affect physical health, mental problems as well as the relative sustainable policies [^] could be conducted by varies authorities. Initially, it reveals the potential causes of human chronic morbidity by virtue of the poor health services around expanded cities of developing nations. Secondly, the [part and parcel]? factors within both physical and psychological issues will be specifically discussed plus the case study. Then, it looks into the current policies have adopted of sustainable development to municipal cities; Finally, the perspectives and recommendations for tackling the population diseases will be concluded as far as the cross-national research is concerned. The thesis of whole study is [^] the more processes of urbanisation, the worse conditions of public well-being.
