It is estimated that by 2050 more than two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities, up
from about 54 percent today. While the many benefits of organized and efficient cities are well
understood, we need to recognize that this rapid, often unplanned urbanization brings risks of
profound social instability, risks to critical infrastructure, potential water crises and the potential
for devastating spread of disease. These risks can only be further exacerbated as this unprecedented
transition from rural to urban areas continues.
How effectively these risks can be addressed will increasingly be determined by how well cities
are governed. The increased concentration of people, physical assets, infrastructure and economic
activities mean that the risks materializing at the city level will have far greater potential to disrupt
society than ever before.
Urbanization is by no means bad by itself. It brings important benefits for economic, cultural
and societal development. Well managed cities are both efficient and effective, enabling economies
of scale and network effects while reducing the impact on the climate of transportation. As such, an
urban model can make economic activity more environmentally-friendly. Further, the proximity

and diversity of people can spark innovation and create employment as exchanging ideas breeds
new ideas.
But these utopian concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization.
For example, one of the main factors is rural-urban migration, driven by the prospect of greater
employment opportunities and the hope of a better life in cities. But rapidly increasing population
density can create severe problems, especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to cope with the
influx of new inhabitants. The result may, in extreme cases, be widespread poverty. Estimates
suggest that 40% of the world's urban expansion is taking place in slums, exacerbating socio-
economic disparities and creating unsanitary conditions that facilitate the spread of disease.
The Global Risks 2015 Report looks at four areas that face particularly daunting challenges in
the face of rapid and unplanned urbanization: infrastructure, health, climate change, and social
instability. In each of these areas we find new risks that can best be managed or, in some cases,
transferred through the mechanism of insurance.
Question 31. Which is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. The Risks of Rapid Urbanization in Developing Countries
B. The Global Risks 2015 Report on Developing Urban Areas
C. Infrastructure and Economic Activities in Cities
D. Rapid Urbanization Put Cities in Jeopardy
Question 32. The word "addressed" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. aimed at B. agreed on C. dealt with D. added to
Question 33. The word “that" in paragraph 4 refers to __________.
A. unsanitary conditions B. urban expansion
C. socio-economic disparities D. disease
Question 34. According to paragraph 3, what is one of the advantages of urbanization?
A. It makes water supply system both efficient and effective.
B. It minimizes risks for economic, cultural and societal development.
C. People may come up with new ideas for innovation.
D. Weather and climate in the city will be much improved.
Question 35. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Poverty may be a foregone conclusion of unplanned urbanization.
B. The increasing number of people in cities can create more employment.
C. Urbanization can solve the problem of environmental pollution in cities.
D. Diseases are caused by people migrating to cities.
