ehough Urban Sprawl
v
Even a lot of people who work in cities would prefer to live closer to their jobs, not

all can afford to do so. Although the cost of housing in cities is usually very high, a lot of
people have to live outside of the city in the suburbs and commute to work. The spread

of cities into outside areas is called urban sprawl. Unfortunately, urban sprawl can have
serious consequences. For example, in Mexico City, developers built new buildings as fast

as possible so that could make money. They also built new housing, but it was far away
from the city center. It can take two to five hours to get to work every day, so a number

of people have moved in with family members who live in the city. Since they are now
more crowded, they are closer to their jobs. Even though many people have moved back

to Mexico City, there are now a great number of empty homes in the suburbs. It will take
time and careful planning to solve this problem. People will have to be patient just as

urban planners try to find a solution.
