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 questions from 31 to 35.
Urbanisation is the process by which urban areas grow bigger as more and more people leave thecountryside to live in towns and cities.
Before the 1950s, urbanisation mainly occurred in more economically developed countries (MEDCs). Rapid urbanisation happened during the period of industrialisation in Europe and North America in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A lot of people left their home villages for urban areas hoping to find jobs in the rapidly expanding industries in big towns and cities. Since 1950s urbanisation has become slower in most MEDCs. Now, some of the biggest cities are losing population because people go back to live in rural areas. This is known as counter-urbanisation.
Since 1950, urbanisation has grown rapidly in LEDCs (Less Economically Developed Countries) in Asia, Africa and South America. Between 1950 and 1990, while the urban population in LEDCs doubled, the increase was less than half in developed countries.
There are various causes of urbanisation in LEDCs. Here are some major ones. First, people migrate to urban areas on a massive scale due to lack of resources in rural areas. Second, small farmers find it harder to make a living not just because of bad weather conditions such as drought, floods, or storms, but because they can’t compete with large agricultural companies. These are considered ‘push’ factors.
People living in rural areas are also ‘pulled’ to cities, which are known to be places of financial centres,services, wealth and opportunities. Believing that the standard of living in urban areas will be higher than
in rural areas, many people come to the city seeking their fortune. Today, about half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. Urbanisation has provided job opportunities, higher incomes and better access tohealth facilities and education.
The urban population will continue to grow and it is expected that its proportion will increase to 70% by 2050.
