Urbanization, the process of people moving from rural to urban areas, has significantly accelerated
over the past decades. While it offers economic opportunities and improved access to services, it also
brings numerous challenges. Overcrowding in cities often leads to a lack of adequate housing,
resulting in slums with poor living conditions. Moreover, traffic congestion and pollution increase as
urban populations grow.
Urbanization also strains resources such as water and electricity. In some cases, infrastructure
cannot keep up, leaving residents without basic necessities. Public transportation systems, for
example, often struggle to accommodate the growing number of commuters. These issues can lead to
social inequality, as wealthier residents enjoy better services than those in poverty-stricken areas.
To address these problems, governments and organizations have proposed various solutions.
Firstly, sustainable urban planning is one key approach. This involves designing cities to be more
efficient, with accessible public transportation, green spaces, and renewable energy sources.
Secondly, investing in education and healthcare can improve the quality of life for urban residents.
Finally, improving the investment environment to attract more FDI to boost economic growth, create
job opportunities, and foster technological advancements is essential for long-term development. By
implementing these measures, cities can grow in a way that is both sustainable and equitable.
Question 31: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The history of urbanization B. Urbanization: problems and solutions
C. The economic benefits of urbanization D. The social impact of urbanization
Question 32: What does the phrase "these issues" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Lack of basic necessities B. Problems caused by urbanization
C. Inadequate social services D. Water and electricity
Question 33: According to the passage, what is one problem caused by urbanization?
A. A decline in rural economies B. A decrease in urban populations
C. A lack of basic necessities D. An increase in renewable energy use
Question 34: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a solution to
urbanization problems?
A. Sustainable urban planning
B. Investing in education and health care
C. Punishing severely those who violate the laws
D. Improving the city’s investment environment
