Reading Passage 2: Urbanization, the shift from rural to urban living, has become one of the defining trends of the 21st century. As of 2020, more than half of the world's population resides in urban areas, and that proportion is projected to increase in the coming decades. While urbanization is often associated with economic development and improved living standards, it also presents numerous challenges that need to be addressed. One of the main drivers of urbanization is economic opportunity. Cities are often seen as places where jobs are plentiful and incomes are higher. They offer a diverse range of employment options, from jobs in the service and technology sectors to opportunities in the arts and culture industries. As a result, people migrate from rural areas in search of better livelihoods. However, the rapid pace of urbanization can lead to numerous challenges. For instance, it can strain public services and infrastructure. This is particularly evident in developing countries where city growth outpaces the government's ability to provide necessary services such as clean water, sanitation, and housing. Furthermore, the concentration of population and economic activity in cities often leads to significant environmental issues. Cities consume the majority of the world's energy and are responsible for a large portion of global greenhouse gas emissions. Also, urbanization often leads to the loss of natural habitats and biodiversity. Solutions to these challenges require comprehensive planning and sustainable practices. Cities must focus on developing infrastructure that can accommodate growth while minimizing environmental impact. In addition, social services must be strengthened to ensure that all residents have access to basic needs such as housing, education, and healthcare. As urbanization continues to shape the world, it is crucial that we understand its complexities and work towards sustainable and inclusive urban development.
