 and complete the following table. 
 Sample discussion:
 A: So, what changes did cities undergo to become urbanised? 
 B: Well, first, their population has increased a lot and continues to grow. What do 
 you think is the impact of population growth?
 A: I think population growth has caused a housing shortage. Despite building so 
 many high-rise blocks of flats, many people find it difficult to find a suitable home. 
 This has also led to higher rents and house prices.

 Discuss in groups. Which change in 1 do you think has the most positive 
2 impact, and which one has the most negative impact on urban life? Then 
 report the group's answers to the class. 
 Report sample:
 Urbanisation has both positive and negative impacts on an area. First, there is 
 an increase in the number of people living in cities and urban areas. This can 
 cause a housing shortage, higher rents and higher house prices. Second, the 
 more people are looking for jobs in cities and urban areas, the more 
 competition is in the job market. This can lead to higher unemployment soon.
