The question asks which statement aligns with UN-Habitat (2015) regarding the impact of urbanisation. 
Option 1: '80% of the world’s population now living in urban centres.' This statement refers to the proportion living in urban areas, but the prompt emphasizes the consequences of urbanisation rather than just where people live. While the 80% figure is commonly cited, it does not capture the described consequences in this context. 
Option 2: 'global social, economic and environmental problems.' This choice correctly identifies the broad and interconnected set of challenges associated with rapid urbanisation as discussed by UN-Habitat, including social inequalities, economic strains, and environmental pressures that arise as more people concentrate in cities. 
Option 3: 'the overpopulation of cities in developing countries.' While overpopulation in some cities is a concern, the statement narrows the problem to developing countries and uses a specific framing that does not fully reflect UN-Habitat’s broader emphasis on global social, economic, and environmental implications. 
Option 4: 'the development of social services and urban communities.' This option describes potential positive outcomes or governance objectives of urbanisation, not the problematic consequences that UN-Habitat highlights in its assessment of urban growth. 
In summary, the most accurate characterization among the options is that urbanisation leads to global social, economic and environmental problems, as it captures the wide-ranging and interconnected nature of urban growth impacts described by UN-Habitat. The remaining options either focus on a descriptive statistic without addressing consequences (Option 1), limit the scope to a subset of regions (Option 3), or present a positive outcome rather than the challenges (Option 4).
