Rapid urbanization in Southeast Asia has caused numerous problems. As more people move into cities, the demand for infrastructure such as roads, hospitals, and public utilities increases, straining the existing systems. The ability to build new infrastructure fast enough to support the growing population becomes a challenge. Additionally, rapid population growth puts pressure on the water supply, electricity, sewage, and housing availability, leading to issues with access and affordability. This can result in overcrowding, inadequate housing conditions, and a strain on resources.
