<span class='text_page_counter'>(2)</span> A. B. C. D. V.Read the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T), false (F), or not given (NG). Counter-urbanlisation While urbanlisation has led to fast urabn growth, counter-urbanlisation has resulted in the opposite situation. Counter-urbanlisation happens when a great number of people move from urban areas ioto rural areas. This phenomenon is linked to the “push” and “ pull” factors of migration. Trying to advoid overcrowded inner cities, city dwellers look for larger, clearner and quieter houses with more land at cheaper prices in rural or suburban areas. They want to escape the air and noise pollution, and the crime in inner cities Howerver, counter-urbanlisation causes serious problems in the shrinking cities. These cities face severe economic strain and sharp increase in poverty. Despite decilining populations, they still have to spend money maining infrastructure, such as roads, sanitation, public transport, etc., built for a much large pupolation. Meanwhile, village in the countryside become increasingly urbanised, grow fast and soon lose their uniqueness and charm. Local prices go up because city migrants have more money. They earn money from well-paid city jobs and high-valued city properties. Villagers often find it more and more difficult to earn a living and provide for their families. Counter-urbanlisation has caused many negative effects. Governments should find urgent short-term solutions before implementing a long-term comprehensive programme to make life sustainable for people in both urban and rural areas. 23.
