(Pate 2004) Such projects do not only improve the quality of life of residents, they also generate jobs in urban but not rural areas, and better sanitation encourages more people to live in the cities and flee the countryside, causing a population imbalance common in Asia.

The massive road and telecommunications systems that have been constructed in the capital have not made their way to country, which is shocking and inexcusable, given the smaller size of Thailand, as opposed to China, another nation afflicted by a similar imbalance of regional resources. (Asia Hub, 2004) of course, it has been alleged that given the greater education of the population and potential for urban expansion, this is out of necessity for the commercial interests currently concentrated in the capital. But this, with no pun intended, and no mean to raise the sensitive subject of the 'bird flu' raises the old 'chicken and egg question' -- are the urban sectors more educated and more profitable by nature, or because of greater government engagement with such sectors, financially, despite the investment of the rural population, agriculturally, in the development of Thailand.
(World Bank, 1999)

This has been the long-standing allegation of rural inhabitants in the past. They say this drives them to migrate away from rural communities to be economically self-sufficient, or to languish in abhorrent conditions, physically, psychologically, and socially. It could be argued, again to make a poor pun, the chickens are coming home to roost, as poor sanitation, and education about sanitation have exacerbated the regional public health crisis of the Asian bird flu, an epidemic of poor sanitation that is exacerbated in the country, but has since hurt tourism and economic development in the city.
