　088
     The cartoon above shows a man ill in hospital with his sickness apparently caused by a city's increasing population, worsening environment, transportation and housing problems, together with dwindling resources.
     It seems that these five problems have combined to cause the man's hospitalization. A burgeoning urban population leads to overcrowding and a worsening of the housing situation where properties become overcrowded and expensive. A crowded city leads to traffic problems such as traffic jams and packed public transport. The resources needed to meet an ever expanding city such as water supply become severely overstretched. If these five problems remain untreated, it inevitably leads to a worsening condition of the city's inhabitants.
     Urbanization may not necessarily be a bad thing. However, as a country becomes more urbanized, urban residents may suffer a lot. If the rate of urbanization remains unchecked, we are just going to have to put up with increasing medical bills.
