Consolidation
People from the countryside are leaving
their home to go and live in the city. Farming
can sometimes be a difficult life and these
people from rural areas feel the city offers more
opportunities. However, many people coming to
the city create problems. There may not be
enough schools or hospitals, while water and
electricity supplies may not be adequate. This is
a problem facing governments around the world
