    THE CHALLENGES OF GLOBAL CITIES

    Global cities conjure up images of fast paced, exciting cosmopolitan lifestyles. But such
    descriptions are lacking. Global cities also have their undersides. They can be sites of
    great inequality and poverty as well as tremendous violence. It creates winners and
    losers.

    Challenges facing by global cities;


    ● Global Inequality
    ● Environmental Threats
    ● Resources
    ● Excessive Energy Consumption
    ● High Crime Rates and Terrorist Threats

    GLOBAL INEQUALITY
    A person experiences unfairness
    in terms of human rights, opportunities, and quality of life.

    ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS
    Rapid urbanization, which strain basic infrastructure coupled with more frequent and
    extreme weather linked to global climate change. One of its reasons is the emission of
    carbon in each country . The higher the carbon released the greater the pollution.

    RESOURCES
    The excessive growth of population contributes to a reduction of green spaces within the
    cities, affecting the liveability. As fresh water becomes scarce and fertile land diminishes,
    food prices may escalate, hitting the poorest hardest.
    EXCESSIVE ENERGY CONSUMPTION
    Because of the sheer size of the population in global cities, urban area consumes most
    of the global energy. Carbon emission that is created from producing electricity to power
    cities are the major cause of global warming. Cities are in need to create solution in this
    environmental threat.

    HIGHER CRIME RATE


    Some of the developing global cities have a higher crime rate than rural areas. Since
    cities are pack full of people, the tendency of a crime is very high. Domestic violence,
    homicide, sexual harassment and other crimes are abundant in some global cities.

    TERRORIST THREATS
    Since global cities have higher population and they symbolize globalization, they have a
    very high threat of a terrorist attacks. Some terrorist groups hates globalization and
    targets global cities. Some of these attacks are the September 11 attack on New York
    and the terrorist attack in Paris on November 2015.
