Urbanization
Urbanization can negatively impact health through various environmental, social, housing, and lifestyle factors. As cities grow rapidly, problems emerge such as air and water pollution, natural resource depletion, and climate change. These environmental changes can lead to health issues like asthma, infections from contaminated water, and illnesses associated with extreme heat or cold. Overcrowding in cities exacerbates social problems including crime, violence, and stress-related diseases. Factors like poverty, lack of education, and limited access to healthcare or social services also impact urban residents' health. Migrants in cities face additional challenges of separation from family, increased work stress, and adjustment to new environments.

Areas from wherecost can be reduced 1) REDUCE PLINTH AREA BY USING THINNER WALL . 2) USE LOCALLY AVAILABLE MATERIAL IN AN INNOVATIVE FORM LIKE SOIL CEMENT BLOCKS IN PLACE OF BURNT BRICK. 3) USE ENERGY EFFICIENCY MATERIALS WHICH CONSUMES LESS ENERGY LIKE CONCRETE BLOCK IN PLACE OF BURNT BRICK. 4) USE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY MATERIALS WHICH ARE SUBSTITUTE FOR CONVENTIONAL BUILDING COMPONENTS LIKE USE R.C.C. DOOR AND WINDOW FRAMES IN PLACE OF WOODEN FRAMES. 5) PREPLAN EVERY COMPONENT OF A HOUSE AND RATIONALIZE THE DESIGN PROCEDURE FOR REDUCING THE SIZE OF THE COMPONENT IN THE BUILDING. 6) BY PLANNING EACH AND EVERY COMPONENT OF A HOUSE THE WASTAGE OF MATERIALS DUE TO DEMOLITION OF THE UNPLANNED COMPONENT OF THE HOUSE CAN BE AVOIDED.

URBANIZATION AND MENTAL HEALTH Urbanization affects mental health through the influence of increased stressors and factors such as overcrowded and polluted environment, high levels of violence, and reduced social support. Impact of urbanization is associated with an increase in mental disorders. Migrants were much more likely to report depressive symptoms than non-migrants, presumably due to family separation and reduced social support.
