Urban problems are linked, not separate. Suburbanization can drain the inner city; that decline invites gentrification; gentrification then displaces the poor. On the exam, connect the challenges as a chain, not a list.
城市问题是相互关联的,而非孤立的。郊区化可抽干内城;那种衰退招致中产阶级化;中产阶级化随后使穷人迁离。考试中,要把这些挑战连成一条链,而非一个列表。
As wealthier families moved to the suburbs, an inner-city district lost jobs and tax money and declined. Decades later, its cheap old buildings attracted new investment — but rising rents from gentrification then displaced the low-income residents who had stayed.
随着较富裕的家庭迁往郊区,一个内城区失去就业和税收而衰退。几十年后,它便宜的旧建筑吸引了新投资——但中产阶级化带来的租金上涨随后使留下来的低收入居民迁离。
Urban change brings housing shortages, residential segregation, inner-city decline from suburbanization, later gentrification and displacement, and sprawl causing congestion and pollution. These challenges connect as a chain and require fair, efficient management.
城市变化带来住房短缺、居住隔离、由郊区化导致的内城衰退、后来的中产阶级化和迁离,以及造成拥堵和污染的蔓延。这些挑战连成一条链,需要公平、高效的管理。
