Read
the following passage carefully and answer the questions (55 to 60)
:
The popular view of towns and cities in
developing countries and of urbanization process is that despite the benefits
and comforts it brings, the emergence of such cities connotes environmental
degradation, generation of slums and squatters, urban poverty, unemployment, crimes,
lawlessness, traffic chaos etc. But what is the reality ? Given the
unprecedental increase in urban population over the last 50 years from 300
million in 1950 to 2 billion in 2000 in developing countries, the wonder really
is how well the world has coped, and not how badly.
In general, the urban quality of life has
improved in terms of availability of water and sanitation, power, health and
education, communication and transport. By way of illustration, a large number
of urban residents have been provided with improved water in urban areas in Asia’s
largest countries such as China, India, Indonesia and Philippines. Despite
that, the access to improved water in terms of percentage of total urban
population seems to have declined during the last decade of 20th century,
though in absolute numbers, millions of additional urbanites, have been
provided improved services. These countries have made significant progress in
the provision of sanitation services too, together, providing for an additional
population of more than 293 million citizens within a decade (1990-2000). These
improvements must be viewed against the backdrop of rapidly increasing urban
population, fiscal crunch and strained human resources and efficient and
quality-oriented public management.
