Challenges Faced by Metropolises

The video discusses three major challenges faced by metropolises worldwide: housing shortages, increased mobility, and waste management. Housing shortages lead to high prices and urban sprawl. Increased mobility results in traffic congestion and pollution. Waste management is complicated by high consumption and inadequate recycling infrastructure. These challenges vary in intensity across different cities, and each city may have additional unique issues.

What are the three main challenges faced by metropolises mentioned in the video?

• Healthcare, education, transportation

• Lack of housing, increase in commuting, waste management

• Crime, pollution, unemployment

• Climate change, deforestation, water scarcity

Why do property owners increase the price of their housing in metropolises?

• Because they want to reduce the number of tenants

• Because they want to improve the quality of housing

• Because they are required by law

• Because they know there is a high demand even if prices are high

What is one consequence of the lack of housing in metropolises?

• Improved public transportation

• Increase in public parks

• More people living in suburbs

• Decrease in population

What is a result of urban sprawl?

• Shorter commutes

• Increased traffic congestion

• More green spaces

• Lower pollution levels

How does the increase in commuting affect metropolises?

• It decreases the need for public transportation

• It improves air quality

• It leads to more traffic jams and delays

• It reduces pollution

What is a major issue with waste management in metropolises?

• Excessive composting

• Insufficient recycling infrastructure

• Lack of waste production

• Too many recycling plants

What happens when people do not sort their waste properly?

• It reduces the amount of waste

• It increases the efficiency of recycling

• It improves waste management

• It leads to a higher production of waste

What is one consequence of inadequate waste management structures in metropolises?

• Decreased waste production

• Improved waste sorting

• Increased recycling rates

• Lack of landfill sites

Are the challenges faced by metropolises the same everywhere?

• Yes, they are exactly the same

• No, they are completely different

• No, they vary in intensity and type

• Yes, but only in developed countries

Besides the main challenges, what else do metropolises face?

• Unique issues specific to each metropolis

• No other issues

• Only environmental issues

• Only economic issues
