Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
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.
