It might help if you say what your question is...

Sorry

lol sorry, that would be an idea
ok here goes:

'people living in mega cities face a range of challenger such as access to acceptable housing, infrastructure, power, water, sanitation and other social and health issues.
Incorporate these issues:
self help projects
Community self governemt
cooperation from NGO's
urban protest
operations of information economies.


There go. Just looking ofr sites that may help

what textbooks do you have/use?

well...what exactly is the problem you have??
i would start off by agreeing with the statement, and then providing a few examples in ur intro. then i would take a paragraph to look at each issue, making heavy use of statistics and examples...it seems to impress geography teachers...
if ur a bit more specific with ur prob...we can try and assist more

I didn't do geography, but i really wanted to ... but maybe Mexico city might be a good example to use.

hey
if you still need a hand, i have already done this thingy. it really is easy. you only have like 20 megacities worldwide, right. so if i was writing the essay, i would state in the intro that there are only a small number of classified megacities, and they all face common problems- ie. housing, employment, pollution, water and whatever. Then take each thing- eg. housing, and for your first point use the cities as examples. so for housing, you would use Jakarta and mexico, and look up those- you'll find that jakarta has a kampung improvement programme that has been awarded for its usefulness etc. and mexico sucks with housing becoz its so big and stuff.
and then you do ....water supply. which is a problem in...whereever (cant remember)
if i have confused you let me know- (this isnt my sign in name cos i dont have one :S) email me at y04sally_m@mail.tara.nsw.edu.au
you'll find that most cities have tried to do something about their problems, but dont have the resources to finish or start their things.......
anywayz. good luck
