When a city population grows rapidly due to migration, what may be the first planning challenge?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Expansion of housing and basic services

Direct answer: A. Rapid in-migration increases the number of people who need places to live and access to water, sanitation, roads, transport, schools and health facilities. If city planning does not expand these services, overcrowding, informal settlements, pressure on water supply and poor sanitation may develop. Housing and basic services are therefore an immediate planning concern. B is wrong because changing a river is not the normal first response to population growth caused by migration. C is unrelated to providing services for incoming residents. D is wrong because a census should not be stopped; population information is useful for planning. The exact challenge can vary between cities, but housing and essential services are a safe and direct answer. Memory cue: more residents require more homes and services.
