Many of these problems can be seen in shanty towns such as Dharavi. Firstly, because these shanty towns are cobbled together in a short period of time it means that there is more often than not there is no running water or , if there is, it is dirty. This means that even basic hygiene rules cannot be adhered to as there is a lack of toilets and cleaning facilities, leading to very poor sanitation. This, in turn, leads to disease as in dirty places disease starts easily and in shanty towns people are tightly packed together so disease spreads like wildfire. Shanty towns are also displeasing to the eye as they are ramshackle and dirty, which creates a great deal of visual pollution. To help decrease the problems the local authorities are increasing the number of low-cost housing in the city.

During the 1960s and 1970s, the Boulevard Peripherique was built. The Boulevard Peripherique is an inner ring-road, roads were also widened and underground car parks were provided as well. Also, many offices and industries were decentralised- moved away from the CBD into either the suburbs or other towns, this reduced the number of people needing to travel into the centre of Paris. However, it was soon realised that by improving roads it encouraged more people to travel by car. So,the authorities now try to discourage people from travelling by car. There are no free car parking spaces in the centre of Paris. There has been a new metro line opened, bus lanes and cycle lanes have been increased. The pavements have also been widened and many more streets have become pedestrianised,for example, la voie verte, which means the green road. Once a month on a Sunday, only cyclists are allowed in many areas- cars are banned from these areas.

It is also far away from housing and next to a motorway so the oil could be transported easily.

Pepsi(Secondary)(Manufacturers)- 526 665- I would build here as there is a lot of space for building and it is quite central so my product could easily be distributed throughout the city. Also it is near a busy main road and a motorway. As well as this there is a large workforce based nearby in areas such as Dean Park. The airport is also close meaning that my product could easily be distributed across the country. Unfortunately this land would be very expensive.

McDonalds(Tertiary)(Services)- 599 658- I would build here as, although the land is very expensive, I would make lots of sales as it\'s right next to the University. Also, it is easily accessible for employees as there is a main road nearby and a large train station.
