Statistics show that the world’s population is increasing rapidly. It is expected that most of us will be living in cities within the next few decades. The question of whether urbanisation is a positive or negative development remains controversial.
A rapid influx(C2:an arrival of large number of ppl) of people moving from rural to urban areas is bound to cause problems. Firstly, pressure on resources such as housing and transportation intensifies. It is becoming difficult for many people to afford adequate housing in cities. A by-product of this is the creation of slums causing low-income families to group together in neglected parts of the city. These people often become trapped in a cycle of poverty that is difficult to escape. As mentioned above, the growth of urban(urban sprawl) areas can also lead to severe traffic congestion because(as the result of) more and more vehicles travel into the city from the suburbs. This has many knock-on effects(a secondary, indirect effect), such as problems with air quality. It also leads many city dwellers to experience mental health issues because travelling across large cities is tiring and stressful.
All of this being said, I don’t believe that urbanisation is a wholly negative development. There are advantages to living in large cities that are well managed. For example, there are more schools which means more educational opportunities. Access to higher-quality health care is often better in cities. Some cities have also introduced ride-sharing, e-bikes and park and ride services that reduce environmental problems.
My opinion is that many of the problems associated with urbanisation are avoidable. but dealing with increasing populations in cities is a formidable(C2: Powerful, Large) challenge. How governments, businesses and society respond to this challenge will dramatically affect the future of our world.

the world’s population is is uh significantly changing it is expected that most of uh most of individuals will be living in cities within the next few decades the question of the challenge of the matter of whether urbanization is a positive or negative development remains controversial um the it’s great pay attention to topic specific vocabularies um uh it is logical to me that the

of this is the creation of Islam’s uh coden low income families to group together in the in neglected part of the cities as the result of this phenomenon uh the the result of this phenomenon is Islam’s areas which coden uh low uh low income families that uh grouped together in uh sub urban areas of the city okay these people often become uh uh trapped in a cycle of poverty that is difficult to uh escape these people often become trapped in the cycle of poverty which is the result of rural depopulation please use topic specific vocabularies and extend your sentences and avoid from what from short basic sentences okay which is the result of um rural depopulation okay the next paragraph as mentioned above the growth of urban uh areas can also lead to severe uh traffic congestion because more and more vehicles travel into the city from the suburbs and there is no need for this furthermore additionally additionally uh uh the growth of urban actually uh we have one uh chim to this uh the urban sprawl sprawl can lead to uh can result in severe traffic congestion as the result of um numerous vehicles travel from city center from um suburbs areas suburbs to city center okay this may uh this uh has many knock on effects uh such as problems with air quality this uh uh this has this will have um knock on effects great a secondary indirect effect uh uh effect uh ranging from pollutions as like as uh issues uh issues with air quality with air pollution with air with air um quality with air pollution okay avoid from repetition of the same vocabulary okay we don’t want this um it it also leads uh many city dwellers to experience mental health issues because traveling across large cities is uh tiring and stressful um uh add which said here furthermore uh additionally uh additionally uh it also contributes to result in many city dwellers to um to uh experience mental health issues as the result of traveling across large cities which is highly really exhausting and

this being said I don’t believe that urbanization is a wholly negative development okay this is uh what the candidate do is make a concession as uh all of this being said I don’t believe that urbanization is a wholly negative development uh we are going to say that it seems that uh it seems that urbanization uh is not uh um totally a negative phenomenon okay I don’t prefer to use my opinion here because I mentioned it in the introduction sentence there are advantages to living in large cities that are well managed great for example there are more schools which means more education opportunities more educational opportunities access to higher uh higher quality uh high quality health uh health care systems uh is system is often better in uh cities some cities have also
