The little work available for money is hard and physical
![Page 19: Rural to urban migration in India](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061300/548e0e5db4795952218b47c9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

People arrive with no money so are forced to live in shanty towns or Bustees such as Dharavi in Mumbai
![Page 46: Rural to urban migration in India](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061300/548e0e5db4795952218b47c9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

![Page 48: Rural to urban migration in India](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061300/548e0e5db4795952218b47c9/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

These areas are hit hard in the Monsoon season (July to September) diseases like Cholera are rampant
![Page 52: Rural to urban migration in India](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061300/548e0e5db4795952218b47c9/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

However what can the government do to solve these problems?
![Page 54: Rural to urban migration in India](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061300/548e0e5db4795952218b47c9/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Some high rise apartments for poor have been built but they are not popular as rents are still high
![Page 57: Rural to urban migration in India](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061300/548e0e5db4795952218b47c9/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Despite all this the cities still have more opportunity than rural areas as money is invested here. Urbanisation is a trend that continues to rise at too fast a rate.
