The basic economic problem that confronts an under developed or a developing  country and especially the new independent ones is how to attain within a relatively short period, a notable increase in the rate of economic growth which is envisaged will bring it to the level of perpetual real income comparable to those of more admired economics of the world. 
In order to attain this oval, the country would have to ;
1.   Provide those basic government services especially in education, public health and transport. These services will serve as fertile soil to advancing the nation’s economy.

The first accomplishment requires transportation on needed factors or resources to the governmental ;sector of the economy for the production of those services or facilities required by the entire populace..

These resources may come from:
a.   outside the control
b.   present use for consumption
c.   present use in production of capital of or types regarded as not contributing to economic growth.Idle or partially idle resources primarily manpower.

EFFECTS OF URBAN CONSTRUCTION ON VEGETATION AND RAINFALL RUNOFF

Growing populations and migration towards built areas is driving land use change in the form of urbanization across the globe and by 2050 some 70% of the world’s population are expected to live in urban areas (UN, 2008). The population of the United Kingdom is projected to increase by 9.6 million over the next 25 years from an estimated 63.7 million in 2012 to 73.3 million in 2037 (ONS, 2012), requiring significant new housing stock that cannot always be developed within existing urban areas or on Brownfield1 sites. A significant proportion of the growth will be met by an expansion of the peri-urban environment – defined as ‘the space around cities that merges into the rural landscape’ (Piorr et al., 2011).
