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 following questions.
It is estimated that by 2050 more than two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities, up from
about 54 percent today. While the many benefits of organized and efficient cities are well understood, we
need to recognize that this rapid, often unplanned urbanization brings risks of profound social instability,
risks to critical infrastructure, potential water crises, and the potential for devastating spread of disease.
These risks can only be further exacerbated as this unprecedented transition from rural to urban areas
continues.
How effectively these risks can be addressed will increasingly be determined by how well cities are
governed. The increased concentration of people, physical assets, infrastructure, and economic activities
mean that the risks materializing at the city level will have far greater potential to disrupt society than
ever before.
Urbanization is by no means bad by itself. It brings important benefits for economic, cultural and societal
development. Well managed cities are both efficient and effective, enabling economies of scale and
network effects while reducing the impact on the climate of transportation. As such, an urban model can
make economic activity more environmentally-friendly. Further, the proximity and diversity of people
can spark innovation and create employment as exchanging ideas breeds new ideas.
But these utopian concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization. For example,
one of the main factors is rural-urban migration, driven by the prospect of greater employment
opportunities and the hope of a better life in cities. But rapidly increasing population density can create
severe problems, especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to cope with the influx of new
inhabitants. The result may, in extreme cases, be widespread poverty. Estimates suggest that 40% of the
world's urban expansion is taking place in slums, exacerbating socio-economic disparities and creating
unsanitary conditions that facilitate the spread of disease.
The Global Risks 2015 Report looks at four areas that face particularly daunting challenges in the face of
rapid and unplanned urbanization: infrastructure, health, climate change, and social instability. In each of
these areas we find new risks that can best be managed or, in some cases, transferred through the
mechanism of insurance.

B. 54% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050.

D. Rapidly increasing population density can help solve poverty.
Question 28. The word “that" in paragraph 4 refers to _____.
A. socio-economic disparities B. urban expansion
