The developers aren't the ones that are in charge of ensuring the population is serviced with basic infrastructure and supplementary services such as mentioned above - they are there to make money. Some developers integrate the entire area to include malls, schools, health etc (Midstream is a prime example) and look how successful those developments are today.I agree with this completely.
The problem lies fully with government as it stands today.
Where we live we see all the security estates and matchbox through to 4 room houses (not to mention the squatter camps) being built getting closer and closer almost every day but at best you see a prefab school or two pop up to accommodate, usually not even that.
So you end up with areas that have a huge population, giant shopping malls and the only education is either minimal or private, same for health care. No new hospitals, just a random day clinic behind a police station or municipal building when the area is "lucky".
The municipalities are the ones that have to integrate the booming population into their SDF via SPLUMA -> ask the town planners. The municipalities are part of the bloody problem as they are politically based instead of being run like a bloody business. I digress - TL;DR -> government needs to step up their delivery of new schools around the urban areas where development is booming!
