What is hyper urbanization?

Answer 1

It is the rapid and unchecked influx of migrants, usually but not exclusively, internal, into a city. Hyper-urbanisation usually occurs in the wold's megacities (10 million plus) most notably in the developing world where the infrastructure cannot cope with the large intake of residents. The most vulnerable are left on the periphery with few resources or access to employment. Rather than a push towards betterment and progression hyperurbanisation has resulted in slum settlemement, pollution issues and a very real difficulty in givernments to deal with their growing cities. For the most part these added inhabitants are often ignored; an invisible population with no real support or future.

Answer 2

Hyper urbanization refers to the rapid and uncontrolled growth of urban areas, leading to issues such as overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, and social disparities. It can result in strains on resources, environmental degradation, and challenges in providing services to the growing population. Efforts to manage hyper urbanization often involve urban planning, sustainable development, and addressing social and economic inequalities.
