overcrowding

Overcrowding occurs when a place, such as a city, building, or transport system, has more people than it can comfortably accommodate. This leads to insufficient space, resources, and facilities to meet everyone's needs, often resulting in discomfort, longer wait times, and strained services. Overcrowding can occur due to population growth, urbanization, or inadequate infrastructure planning. It affects quality of life, increases congestion, and can contribute to health and safety risks. Managing overcrowding involves improving infrastructure, expanding capacity, and implementing policies to balance population and resources effectively.
