Urban Growth May Leave Millions Without Clean Water By 2050

A new study says that how cities grow could make it hard for many people to get clean water and proper sewage services by 2050.

Researchers looked at data from lots of cities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

They found that if cities spread out a lot, many people might not have access to clean water and sewage services.

This could also make water bills much more expensive.

The study suggests that building cities more compactly, with more people living closer together, could help solve these problems.

It also found that cities in Africa and Asia will grow a lot by 2050, and African cities are already more spread out than Asian cities.
