In which situation can high population growth increase pressure on cities?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When housing and services grow slower than jobs

Correct answer: A. Cities need housing, water, sanitation, transport, schools, hospitals and other services for their residents. If population grows or jobs attract more people faster than these facilities expand, demand becomes greater than supply. This can produce overcrowded housing, pressure on transport and shortages of basic services. B is incorrect because adequate services reduce pressure rather than increase it. C removes an important possible source of urban growth. D would not describe high population growth from births. Memory cue: urban pressure rises when people increase faster than infrastructure and services.
