Overpopulation – The Rise Of Megacities

[Chris Lewer]

There are so many unseen problems associated with megacities. One example is Mexico City, which, due to the lack of rainfall, has overexploited its the available groundwater. This has had unforeseen impacts on underground stability, increasing the likelihood of severe earthquakes.

I can’t think there is anything more unhealthy for the human spirit or mind than living in a city so big. So little nature to see so little fresh air to breathe. An awful way to live.

Cities are where the majority seem to want to live (personally I have no idea why), yet sparsely populated rural areas are where most food and resources are produced or extracted for national and global markets.

As the global population increases, there is greater dependency on agricultural productivity. So there is more pressure to adopt intensive agricultural practices which come at a huge environmental cost.

37 million people = huge waste management issues. I doubt that half of the waste is teated or recycled, probably ends up in the sea or on landfill sites. Totally unsustainable. The world’s population needs to quickly level off, then begin to reduce over the coming decades.
