Read the following passage about urbanization and choose the best answer to each of the following
questions.
Cities play a significant role in the growth and development of a country. They offer better housing,
jobs with a living wage, and access to entertainment and healthcare. However, urbanization also brings
many problems.
One major issue is population density. When too many people move to a city too quickly, the demand for
housing becomes too high. Many migrants end up living in slums or on the streets. This leads to poverty
and inequality. Jobs might be available at first, but as the population grows, unemployment also increases
steadily. People without work may turn to crime to survive.
Another problem is poor infrastructure. Cities need roads, public transport, and clean water, but these
systems can't grow fast enough. Sanitation is often not properly managed, causing health problems.
Without access to clean water, diseases spread easily. In addition, air pollution from vehicles and factories
worsens over time, harming the environment and people's health.
Traffic is another challenge. The roads become crowded, and travel times increase. Public transport can
help, but systems often need to be upgraded to meet demand.
As cities grow, land use changes sharply. Trees are cut down, and animals lose their homes. The local
ecosystem is significantly damaged.
To solve these problems, governments must build better infrastructure and improve sanitation systems.
Offering jobs in rural areas with a living wage can help slow urban growth. Even a slight reduction in
migration to cities can make a big difference. Cities are important, but we must address the challenges of
urbanization to make them better places to live for everyone.
