PART 4: READING (1.0 PT.)
Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions.
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 social instability, risks to critical
infrastructure, potential water crises and the potential for devastating spread of disease.
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 start
innovation and create employment as exchanging ideas breeds new ideas.
But these concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization. For example, one
of the main factors is rural-urban migration. Rapidly increasing population density can create severe problems,
especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to cope with too many new inhabitants. The result may be
widespread poverty. Estimates suggest that 40% of the world's urban expansion is taking place in slums,
creating unsanitary conditions that facilitate the spread of disease.
