Read the following passage and answer the question below. Urbanization, the process by which an increasing proportion of a population comes to live in cities rather than rural areas, has accelerated dramatically over the past century. Today, more than half of the world's population lives in urban areas, a figure that is projected to keep rising in the coming decades, particularly in developing regions of Asia and Africa. Cities often offer greater access to employment opportunities, education, healthcare, and infrastructure, drawing people from rural areas in search of better living standards. However, rapid and often unplanned urban growth can strain existing infrastructure, leading to problems such as traffic congestion, inadequate housing, and increased pollution. Urban planners and policymakers are increasingly focused on developing sustainable cities that can accommodate growing populations while minimizing environmental impact, through strategies such as improved public transportation, green building design, and efficient waste management systems. Successfully managing urbanization is considered essential to ensuring a sustainable and equitable future for the majority of the world's population. Question: According to the passage, which regions are expected to see continued urbanization growth?

Difficulty: Hard
