Reflection on the Use of Public Spaces
The rapid urbanization in many cities and towns has resulted in a ramification of consequences. One such social transformation and development includes the emergence of prostitution as a complex product of the interplay of socio-economic factors. The interactions between poverty, unemployment, drug abuse, and addiction and societal pressures explain the increasing prevalence of sex trade in urban areas. The use of public spaces has been an issue of concern: some have being denied rights, descent housing, discriminated against and prevented from accessing essential services like water, and proper environmental management services.

In many cities, challenges are no longer secrets. The city residents, on many occasions, have staged various protests against corruption, filthy and stinking environments, prostitution, and lack of adequate essential services. An environmental threat is one of the biggest challenges to urbanization. The booming population is being linked to strained infrastructure and accompanied by unpredictable climate change, present almost universal trade to most cities. Waste disposal is a key challenge in many urban areas: some of these cities do not have proper waste disposal management systems in place, which result in toxic accumulation of wastes in a residential environment, water sources and food sources.
