A Tale of Two Cities: Seoul and Dhaka The city of Seoul, with a population of 10.3 million in 1998, forms part of South Korea's capital region. As the capital city, Seoul has been at the center of South Korea's remarkable economic transformation over the last four decades.
In the 1960s, much of South Korea's industrial growth was focused on greater Seoul, which by 1970 had 52 percent of the country's industrial workers. The major contributor to this growth was rural-urban migration, which accounted for 50 percent of the country's urban increase in the 1960s. This very rapid growth of Seoul's population placed pressure on the city's infrastructure, leading to marked growth in new settlements, increasing traffic congestion, and growing air pollution. This led the government to adopt a national decentralization strategy in the 1970s that attempted to divert industry to other areas of the country. New industrial complexes were established in the southeast part of the country. In the 1980s. continuing efforts were made to decentralize economic activity. Dhaka's population of 6.5 million is crowded into 360 square kilometers, creating one of the highest urban densities in the world. Unlike South Korea, Bangladesh has not experienced rapid economic change, and agriculture remains the major component of GDP and the main source of employment. While general economic conditions have improved somewhat over the last twenty years, Bangladesh is still a very poor country. Dhaka's rate of population growth has declined slightly over the past three decades, but it still remains among the highest in Asia (4.2 percent annually). The continuing growth reflects ongoing migration from rural areas to the Dhaka urban region. Recently, the city's population has also grown as a result of the expansion of its administrative boundaries, a process that added 1 million people to the city in the 1980s. Dhaka's growth has not been associated with an expansion of productive employment opportunities in relatively high wage areas. Instead, there has been growing employment in the low productivity, low- income sector, such as petty retailing or rickshaw driving. 36. The main reason of Seoul’s population growth in the 1960s was _________. A. the development of industry B. remarkable economic transformation C. rural-urban migration D. its role as a capital 37. All of the following are the problems that the authorities of Seoul had to deal with EXCEPT ___________. A. infrastructure B. rural-urban migration C. traffic congestion D. housing 38. We can infer from the passage that the reason of the national decentralization strategy in the 1970s and 1980s in Seoul is that __________. A. other regions demanded for industry development B. there were no industrial complexes in the south C. it would place pressure on other cities D. Seoul seemed to be beyond its capacity 39. All of the following are true about Dhaka EXCEPT that __________. A. its population always increase steadily B. its urban growth rate is one the highest in the world C. people live mainly on agriculture D. many people live in poverty 40. One of the differences between the urban growth between Seoul and Dhaka is _________. A. rural-urban migration B. urban boundary extension C. employment opportunities D. high urban densities VIII.
