Exercise 6: Read the text and answer the questions below.
One major issue with a growing population: shortages of both food and water. Crowded cities make waste water management more difficult. Waste pollutes clean water, making it undrinkable. Even today in some African cities, there are inadequate water supplies because most of the water is lost in pipe leakages.
Today, outdoor air pollution contributes to about two million deaths a year. Indoor air pollution, primarily from cook stoves in developing nations, skills another four million people every year, according to the World Health Organization. As cities continue to crowd, this issue will only grow, according to UN data.
It’s also likely that crime and violence will increase along with urban density, the UN reports. Independent studies have found that the warming planet is likely to increase violence worldwide because of the economic pressure caused by heat and drought.
The best solution is to manage growth and to prepare for the cities of the future.
