3. Read the following passage about urbanization and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 27 to 34.
Urbanization refers to the increasing number of people that live in urban areas. It predominantly results from the
movement of people from rural to urban areas, driven by the search for better employment opportunities,
education, and living conditions. As cities grow, they often face challenges related to infrastructure, housing,
and social services. This rapid growth can lead to overcrowded cities, traffic congestion, and strain on public
services.
One of the most notable effects of urbanization is the change in land use. As urban areas expand, agricultural
land and natural habitats are often converted into residential and industrial areas. This can lead to a decrease in
local biodiversity and affect ecosystems. Additionally, urbanization contributes to environmental issues such as
pollution and increased carbon emissions due to higher energy consumption.
Urbanization also has significant social and economic impacts. On one hand, cities can offer more job
opportunities, higher salaries, and improved access to education and healthcare. On the other hand, the rapid
influx of people can lead to inadequate housing and increased cost of living. This disparity often results in the

14
growth of informal settlements and slums, where living conditions are poor, and residents lack access to basic
services.
Governments and urban planners play a crucial role in managing urbanization effectively. By implementing
sustainable development policies and investing in infrastructure, they can mitigate some of the negative impacts
of urbanization. Strategies such as developing public transportation, creating green spaces, and ensuring
affordable housing are essential for creating livable and sustainable cities.
Technology and innovation also contribute to addressing the challenges of urbanization. Smart city initiatives,
for example, leverage technology to improve the efficiency of urban services, enhance the quality of life for
residents, and reduce environmental impact. These advancements can help cities become more resilient and
adaptable to the needs of their growing populations.
