Overcrowding in cities can be managed in the below ways:

• In the Indian context, people from rural areas generally migrate to urban areas in search of job opportunities. The government can reduce the migration of people by improving irrigation facilities and by providing cheap loans to the farmers. This will reduce overcrowding in the cities.
• Better housing facilities need to be developed to manage overcrowded cities.
• The government must make an investment shift to infrastructures such as building broad roads, hospitals and schools.
• The government should also undertake long-term planning and scientific city structure design to relieve the overcrowding. “Satellite city” is widely believed as a positive way because areas that has abundant lands, more houses can be developed to help evacuate poor citizens to suburban places
