Slum Dwellers

Rapid urbanisation of the last century causes more slums to mushroom in the major cities of the world particularly in developing countries. Unplanned townships make it difficult for government to plan for better service delivery such as roads, electricity,health,water and sanitation. Local planning authorities should halt illeagal allocation of land which leads to the proliferation of slums. Government should keep planning for the poor;and must find better solutions of phasing out slums which have characterised many towns and cities of the world. And slums lie on a GOLDMINE (PRIME LAND)which can generate great wealthy for poorer communities. chipepo lwele 29/01/2013
