Question textSection E: Read this paragraph and answer the following question. Predictions show that, by 2050, the world’s population will have grown to over 9 billion. Almost three-quarters of these people will be located in urban areas: both cities and smaller towns. Urbanisation is a defining trend of the 21st century, with significant socio-economic consequences, which can be positive or negative depending on how services are managed. Every country which has experienced significant development progress has also experienced a major shift of population towards cities, and this shift is taking place alongside other trends. Information and communication technology, for instance, changes urban communication, and together with other technological innovations, it can deliver the required infrastructure to support city development. The fact that more people in less developed countries, where the rate of urbanisation is higher, will be living in cities has serious implications for policy makers. As most countries’ urban populations increase, this trend will affect future development plans, and the adjustments that are needed to respond to this challenge. Questions 10 to 12.
