In the article "Explosive growth in Asian cities: Bright ideas to Seize the Urban Moment", Khanna (2015) believes that Asian cities are becoming the global benchmark for citification. The writer posits that 36 capitals have over 10 million citizens. Out of those, 20 capitals belong in Asia. Khanna states that compared to Europe and America, Asia has more than twice the amount of people immigrating into the cities from its rural area. He argues that Southeast Asian metropolises are spearheading with "flexible governments, resourceful citizens and local infrastructure innovation."
Hey Muhammad,
ReplyDeleteI admire that you were able to retain the gist of the article through thoughtful selection of words and paraphrasing.
However, I didn't manage to grasp the link between the last two sentences. I think you should include a point that the policies laid down by South-east Asian governments are proving inadequate due to the population influx, therefore they are "spearheading with flexible governments, resourceful citizens and local infrastructure innovation".
Cheers! :)
