Services (streets, police, fire, schools, hospitals, etc.) have to keep pace with the population growth. Typically these need to be planned in advance, but the tax base has not yet increased.
Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "city growth problems" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.
