more mercury and cyanide released into rivers

What is one pro of urbanization?

Creating jobs and access to modern technology

Decreasing the amount of pollution generated

Decreasing overcrowding in the countryside

Predict the future population growth of this country.

Negative Growth (the population will shrink)
