Urbanisation
Over the years, increasing population growth will drastically alter Metropolis through environmental, social and economic factors.
Urbanisation is often associated with increased industrial development and financial wealth, however cities experiencing population growth often lack the infrastructural equipment required to support the basic needs of more residents. It is essential that cities offer employment opportunities, education courses and basic requirements like accommodation, electricity and public transport. If a city develops without this, the city has a high certainty of having poverty and instability. Rapidly urbanising cities also experience environmental issues. With more people living in confined spaces, roads become congested with traffic, pollution levels rise due to fumes from more private vehicles and industrial factories, sanitation systems can become overwhelmed or disrespected with more residents using it and public health can degenerate possibly due to violence, water contamination, outbreak of diseases and inactivity.
A growing population in Metropolis can affect consumption (energy and non-renewable resources), production of goods, employment, income distribution amongst employees, poverty and public securities (pensions). Population growth can also complicate endeavours to ensure city access to health and education facilities, housing areas, sanitation, water, food and energy supply.
