Instructions
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Cities  and  towns  are  not  only  growing  in  size  and  number.  They  are  also  gaining  new  influence.  The  urban    offers  significant  opportunities  to  improve  the  quality  of  life,  but  whether  this  potential  is  realized  depends    on  how  cities  are  managed  and  on  the  national  and  local  policies  affecting  their  development.  The  development  of  urban  areas  is  also  closely    to  the  rural  economy  through  the  exchange  of  labor,  goods,  services,  information  and  technology.    urban  issues  leads  to  significant  social  and  environmental  costs,  however.  In  the  two  most    regions  that  the  World  Bank  serves,  Latin  America  and  Europe/Central  Asia,  over  half  of  the  poor  already  live  in  urban  areas.  By  2025,  two-thirds  of  the  poor  in  these  regions,  and  one-third  of  the  poor  in  East  and  South  Asia,  will  reside  in  cities  or  towns.  The  nature  of  urban    is  more  than  an  income  or  employment  issue,  and  is  also  characterized  by    living  conditions.
