The question asks us to identify what UN-Habitat (2015) attributes to urbanisation among the given options.
Option 1: '80% of the world’s population now living in urban centres.' While UN-Habitat has discussed urbanisation and the growth of cities, stating a specific figure like 80% as a direct consequence attributed to urbanisation in this wording may oversimplify or misstate the publication's emphasis. The option presents a statistic rather than a consequence, which makes it less aligned with the framing of the question about effects.
Option 2: 'the development of social services and urban communities.' This option frames urbanisation as a positive outcome related to services and communities. While urbanisation can influence service development and community formation, the statement describes a potential effect rather than a broad, defining consequence highlighted by UN-Habitat, and it does not capture the range of impacts typically associated with rapid urban growth.
Option 3: 'the overpopulation of cities in developing countries.' This option focuses on crowding in cities, but it singles out developing countries and uses the term 'overpopulation,' which is a problematic and narrow framing. UN-Habitat discussions often emphasize growth and density challenges across various contexts, not solely 'overpopulation' in developing nations, and it does not convey the full spectrum of consequences.
Option 4: 'global social, economic and environmental problems.' This option presents a broad, integrative view of the consequences of urbanisation, aligning with widely cited understandings that rapid urban growth can influence multiple interrelated domains—social, economic, and environmental—on a global scale. It captures the comprehensive impact that urbanisation is commonly associated with in policy and academic discussions, making it the most suitable and consistent choice with UN-Habitat’s framing.
In summary, although the first three options touch on facets of urbanisation, only the fourth option accurately reflects the holistic, cross-cutting set of challenges—social, economic, and environmental—that urbanisation can generate globally, which is the emphasis typically conveyed in UN-Habitat discussions.
