Urban centers are expanding at a faster rate than their infrastructure can keep up, according to research from New York University. The study highlights a widening gap between population growth and the development of essential services like transportation, utilities, and housing. Experts warn that this imbalance risks straining public resources and quality of life in densely populated areas. The findings underscore the need for long-term planning to address the challenges of rapid urbanization.
