Nowadays our environment is getting polluted a lot. The reason for all of this pollution is us, humans. We are building factories, throwing garbage outside, polluting water, etc. The leading cause of pollution also is urbanization.
Urbanization simply means a lot of people being concentrated in small areas. Like in Nepal Kathmandu is polluted a lot because everybody in Nepal is focused on living there. There are many other metropolitan and sub-metropolitan cities in Nepal but everybody wants to come over Kathmandu. The government is also a reason for urbanization here. Our government is also only focusing on developing the capital city due to which people come here for better opportunities. This city has top schools and colleges with good educational facilities. It has highly developed medical facilities, international airports and many more. These are the reasons why Kathmandu has become more populated. Due to the high population and more houses, industries and vehicles, we can feel the dust on our noses.
Urbanization is also affecting Nepal because when there is overpopulation there is more waste created. Urbanization also causes a lack of resources. When there are fewer resources than people living won't get to fulfill their needs. This is also a problem because there will be more poverty due to a lack of resources. Due to urbanization places that needed to be developed also won't get developed because when there are more people in one place that one place should be developed more to fulfill people's needs. Urbanization is a big problem yet to be solved and will soon be solved if people don't focus on major cities to live in and if the government does not develop only one city and starts focusing on rural places.
