Explain two consequences of rapid urbanisation in LIDCs.

One consequence of rapid urbanisation in LIDCs is increased crime rates. As LICDs populations grow rapidly the job sectors of cities may not being able to keep up and many may find themselves unemployed. Furthermore, as cities grow, there are greater opportunities for crime as policing systems and the government may not be able to cope with the number of crimes being committed.
A further consequence of rapid urbanisation is the increased pressure it may place on local services. Health care and education services may struggle to cope as large numbers of families and children move in to the urban area. This may lead to children missing out on vital education and health care as the services simply haven't been given enough time to catch up with the demands rapid urbanisation has caused.
