Answer to Question 1

As over-urbanization continues, megacities are often confronted with serious environmental (and social) issues: housing shortages, squatter settlements, water quality (and availability), congestion, inadequate energy supplies, air pollution, and diseases. Within Latin America, careful planning to balance growth, and to promote sustainability, may mitigate against the worst of these problems.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
