the questions from 31 to 36.
Urbanisation: Opportunities and Challenges
Urbanisation refers to the increasing population in urban areas as opposed to rural areas. This trend has become
prominent in recent decades as more people move to cities in search of better economic opportunities and
improved living conditions. Urban areas often offer enhanced infrastructure, such as advanced transportation
systems, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions, which contribute to a higher quality of life.
However, rapid urbanisation can also lead to significant challenges. Overcrowding in cities may strain public
services and infrastructure, leading to traffic congestion and pollution. Additionally, the expansion of urban areas
can encroach upon natural habitats, leading to a loss of biodiversity. Social inequalities can also be exacerbated,
as the benefits of urbanisation may not be evenly distributed, creating a divide between different socio-economic
groups.
Effective urban planning and sustainable development are crucial to addressing these challenges. By focusing
on creating efficient public transportation systems, green spaces, and equitable resource distribution, cities can
mitigate the negative impacts of urbanisation and enhance the quality of life for all residents.
