i) Overcrowding
Cairo is Africa's largest city and one of the largest in the world
It is terribly overcrowded
Overcrowding made life for many in the city unpleasant for it led to widespread squatters squalor eg inadequate social services
because of its size and rapid growth it has been difficult for the government to provide enough social services
ii) Housing is scarce
Some people are even forced to live in cemeteries and rooftops
In 1973, for example, one million people were living in cemeteries
iii) Health vices/poor sanitation
iv) Education
v) Inadequate infrastructure
It has not been possible to develop the city's infrastructure as fast as the city's population growth
As a result roads are congested/jams and many areas of the city are poorly served with water, electricity/and telephones
vi) Unemployment
The city of Cairo has not been able to generate many jobs as its rapidly growing populations requires
Unemployment is therefore high
The economic and social costs of high unemployment are equally high
vii) Social dislocation
Cairo suffers from all the social dislocations of very large cities
Crime and prostitution, insecurity and inequality are widespread
This takes a heavy toll on the lives of many residents of the city
viii) Lack of food due to increased population growth
ix) Pollution from vehicles, industries, desert dusts, garbage
