As well as making Jakarta a megacity, Urbanisation has made quite a few problems for Jakarta.
Pollution
Pollution is a major disadvantage for Jakarta. Due to the population increase the pollution has become worse, it is now one of the most polluted cities in the world. Some would say that it has lost most of its charm dues to the air and some find it hard to breathe in. Pollution is Caused by the amount of vehicles with the fumes releasing gas into the air. Factory's, rubbish and more are also the cause of this.
Traffic Congestion
Most people in Jakarta have their own private cars. This then cause traffic congestion, this makes it hard to get places and also another reason why some people wouldn't want to move to Jakarta.
Housing Problems
With the growth of the population more houses are to be built, but this then makes house close together. Most houses that are built like this are in slums (slums are areas that aren't very clean with lots of houses very close together. Nobody wants to live there but sadly people are forced to through lack of money.
Poverty
Jakarta has very bad poverty. The people that live here don't really worry about the poverty because they worry about themselves and if they have enough money for food. They're not selfish they just live in such bad conditions it is hard for them to take notice of the poverty.
