Best Answer

Most of them are irregular settlements without proper utility services such as tap water, sewage and electricity. Also, as most shanty towns are irregular in nature, are not built properly - many "homes" are made from cardboard and corrugated steel sheets - in such a way that any natural disaster such as earthquakes and mudslides could prove to be disastrous.

What are the problems found in an MEDC CBD?

Many MEDC CBD's are now faced with the problem of traffic congestion; As more people move to the edge of towns and cities, traffic congestion may get worse. Many people will drive their cars into the city centre to get to work. It is compounded by people being brought into city on large roads or motorways. These roads then link up with smaller, older, narrower roads in the city centre. This causes a bottleneck and congestion.
