Why can housing crisis increase under rapid urban growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because housing construction may be slower than demand

Direct answer: A, because housing construction may be slower than demand. Rapid urban growth can result from natural increase, migration or both, and it raises the number of people seeking homes. If land, finance, construction, infrastructure and planning do not provide new housing quickly enough, demand becomes greater than supply. The result may be overcrowding, rising rents, informal settlements or long waiting periods, although the exact form varies by city. A is correct because it identifies the demand-supply gap. B is wrong because rapid growth does not remove the need for homes. C is wrong because people require housing even when they live temporarily or in informal accommodation. D is wrong because area and birth rate are different geographical and demographic concepts. Memory cue: housing crisis means demand is growing faster than safe, affordable supply.
