Increasing congestion places a strain on the capacity of cities to protect those who live within their boundaries. When plagues hit, like the cholera epidemic that invades cities in the 19th century, city officials are forced to implement public health interventions. But many problems are not being addressed. Urban pollution, considered a sign of a healthy economy, contributes to the unhealthy environment for people living in cities. Insufficient supplies of safe water and inadequate sewage and garbage treatment systems abound. In addition poverty, and its corollary crime and violence, haunt cities at the turn of the century.
