5. 主文第二段：人口增加的壞處

   然而，城市人口的快速增長往往超過了基礎設施的發展，給城市居民帶來了巨大的挑戰。住房短缺是城市化加速的一個普遍後果，三藩市等城市在人口增長的 15 年間，住房成本中位數增長了 140%。由於道路系統無法容納不斷增長的人口，交通擁堵問題愈演愈烈，曼谷居民每年平均要花費 64 個小時在交通延誤上。環境退化往往伴隨著人口密度的增加，隨著汽車尾氣排放的增加和綠地的減少，空氣品質不斷惡化。也許最重要的是，快速增長經常會加劇社會經濟不平等，因為住房壓力和資源競爭使低收入居民處於不利地位。1990 年至 2010 年間，墨西哥城的人口增加了約 500 萬，但缺乏基本服務的非正規住區卻增加了30% 以上，這凸顯了經濟成長帶來的好處在不同社會經濟階層之間的分配往往是不均衡的。

   資源不足危害生活品質

   However, rapid urban population growth frequently outpaces infrastructure development, creating significant challenges for city inhabitants. Housing shortages represent a pervasive consequence of accelerated urbanization, with cities like San Francisco experiencing 140% increases in median housing costs over fifteen years of population growth. Traffic congestion escalates as road systems fail to accommodate growing populations, with Bangkok residents spending an average of 64 hours annually in traffic delays. Environmental degradation often accompanies population density, with air quality deteriorating as vehicle emissions increase and green spaces diminish. Perhaps most significantly, rapid growth frequently exacerbates socioeconomic inequality, as housing pressure and competition for resources disadvantage lower-income residents. When Mexico City’s population expanded by approximately 5 million between 1990 and 2010, informal settlements lacking basic services grew by over 30%, highlighting how growth benefits often distribute unevenly across socioeconomic strata.
