problem itself may not come to notice of decision-maker at early stage like ill effect
of chemicals released to groundwater from solid waste dumping.
Improper planning often makes safety to take back seat. The demand for shelter,
waste management (Fig.4.8), water (Fig. 4.9), public transportation (Fig. 4.10), and
lung space demands taxpayers’ money or national/international funding/lending
which would impose tax burden on taxpayers leading to unhappy situations.
Improper planning, poor legislation and improper enforcement of existing legislation may lead to:
• Risk of injury due to fall of dead tree on pedestrians/vehicle riders (Fig. 4.11)
• Risk of air pollution due to waste burning (Fig. 4.12)
• Risk of injury due to occupying road for constructions without safety signage
and closing the road (Fig. 4.13)
Most of the slums are formed in the heart of city by encroaching green space,
playground, natural drains resulting in floods, stagnation of air pollutants, and accumulation of solid waste and resource diversion of funds for welfare of slum dwellers.
Urbanization is not unexpected and in the absence of planning the cities will
attract more people. Bigger cities will attract major portion of migrants.
