Congestion, pollution, decay, crime and violence. These have become the common lot of big cities around the world. Now even remote rural areas can no longer escape the costly impact of urban problems. Is there a solution to the mounting crisis? All of a sudden - what's happened? It was never like this before! It's unsafe to walk on the streets in city or in town! Your house may be broken into if you're away! Crime is rampant, even in high-class residential areas: Pollution of air and water bewilders scientists and engineers attempting to combat it. New pollutants are added to the environment faster than the old ones can be dealt with. As one sociologist observed: "The growth of cities is perhaps the biggest single problem facing man in the second half of the Twentieth Century." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
