Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

Eradication of problems caused by the formation of slums

Urban planning refers to the planning and designing of urban areas. Though urbanisation provides people with the means to earn a living, most urban centres in India are overpopulated. Overpopulation can be controlled, and the number of slums can be significantly reduced through better planning of cities and housing facilities. Urban planning and waste management also help in curbing pollution as well as contain the outbreak of diseases.
