Urbanization is happening quickly in Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. More and more people are moving from rural areas to big cities like Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, and Jakarta. This change is making these cities grow faster and become more crowded. One reason for this move is that cities offer more job opportunities. Many people leave their farms to find work in factories, offices, or service industries in the city. Cities also have better schools and hospitals, which attract families looking for a better life. As cities in Southeast Asia grow, they face some problems. Traffic becomes very heavy, causing air pollution and long travel times. There's often not enough housing for everyone, so some people end up living in poor conditions. Many cities are working to improve public transportation and build more homes to solve these issues. Despite the challenges, urbanization is bringing positive changes too. Cities are becoming centers of innovation and economic growth. They're also becoming more modern, with new buildings, shopping centers, and entertainment venues. The rapid urbanization in Southeast Asia is changing the way people live and work in these countries. It's an ongoing process that's shaping the future of the region. 1.

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 following questions. Urbanization is a global phenomenon that has been accelerating over the past century, fundamentally altering the landscape of human settlement and societal organization. This process involves the mass migration of people from rural areas to cities, driven by factors such as industrialization, economic opportunities, and the promise of improved living standards. As of 2024, more than half of the world's population resides in urban areas, a figure that is projected to rise significantly in the coming decades. The pace and scale of urbanization vary considerably across different regions. While developed countries in North America and Europe have largely stabilized their urban growth, rapid urbanization continues to reshape countries in Asia and Africa. Cities like Shanghai, Lagos, and Mumbai are expanding at unprecedented rates, creating both opportunities and challenges for their inhabitants and governments. This global shift towards urban living has profound implications for economic systems, social structures, and the environment. Cities are becoming hubs of innovation and economic activity, driving national and global economies. However, they also face critical issues such as overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, social inequality, and environmental degradation. The sustainable management of urban growth has thus emerged as one of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century, requiring innovative solutions in urban planning, governance, and technology to create livable, resilient, and inclusive cities for the future. 1.
