    have to go far off in the countryside to get open air &breeze.

     People will have to take long uncomfortable journey from place of work to
    place of residence. As such there is waste of time, money and energy.

     Roads will become congested with increasing traffic and resulted in


    accidents and noise pollution.

     The siting of industries in the heart of the city has resulted pollution of air,
    water etc.

     The increased industrial population has given rise to the formation of


    squatter settlements, slums etc.

     Insufficient open space , parks, play grounds have caused unhealthy living
    conditions.

     Lack of public infrastructure such as water supply, drainage, sewage,


    electricity etc.
