GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF A CITY IN EGYPT DEALING WITH OVERPOPULATION/URBANIZATION CAIRO, EGYPT - POPULATION OF 7.7 MILLION AS OF PERCENT OF COUNTRY LIVE IN CAIRO LAGOS, NIGERIA - POPULATION OF 21 MILLION AS OF JUST OVER 8 PERCENT OF PEOPLE LIVE IN THE CITY

SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF THE EFFECTS MENTIONED EARLIER IN THIS CITY CAIRO, EGYPT - AFTER WW2 THE POPULATION OF EGYPT SPREAD OUT TO THE NILE DELTA - BAD HOUSING POLICIES - MIXED USE, MULTI FAMILY HOMES - 8,000 PEOPLE PER SQUARE MILE - SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING 3 OR MORE KIDS - IMPLEMENTING 2 CHILD RULE
