About Urbanization in Pakistan MCQs

You will also see sustainable development, cultural restructuring and the social problems linked with rapid urban growth, such as housing shortages, slums, pollution and pressure on services.

Frequently asked questions
What is a global city according to Saskia Sassen?
Saskia Sassen used the term global city for cities such as New York, London and Tokyo that act as command and control centres of the world economy. They concentrate finance, specialised business services and corporate headquarters, and are linked more closely to each other than to their own national hinterlands.
What social problems does rapid urbanisation cause?
Rapid urbanisation can cause housing shortages and growth of informal settlements, traffic congestion, air and water pollution, pressure on water, sanitation, schools and hospitals, unemployment and crime. In Pakistan these issues are often discussed alongside rural to urban migration and weak urban planning.
