Implications of Urbanization on Community Resources

Easy Synthesis Of Information Critical Thinking

In light of recent discussions about urbanization and its effects on societies, consider the following statistics released by the Urban Development Institute:

"Cities with populations over 1 million have seen a 20% increase in infrastructure demands over the past decade, while small towns have experienced a decline in population by 15%. This trend has raised questions about resource allocation and future planning in city environments."

Based on these findings, which statement best synthesizes the implications of urbanization on community resources?

Urban areas are becoming less sustainable due to overpopulation and lack of resources.

Resource allocation in urban areas will naturally balance itself as populations grow.

Small towns should adopt urban planning strategies to improve their population rates.

The increase in infrastructure demands in cities highlights the need for strategic resource management.

Urbanization is not affecting resource management in cities and towns.
