AP Human Geography
Unit 6 – Cities and Urban Land–Use
Topic 6.11
What common lesson about urban sustainability can be drawn from Detroit's population decline and Mumbai's slum proliferation?
Both instances prove that modern cities are impregnable to significant social problems like poverty or unemployment.
The examples indicate that all post-industrial cities inevitably experience population decline while developing ones face slum proliferation.
Unplanned or uncontrolled urbanization can lead to severe socio-economic challenges for a city.
They both illustrate how government policies always successfully tackle issues related to rapid urban growth or decay.
