According to a new report from the Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research group in Washington, it is having a huge(28)effect on human health and the(29)quality of the environment. Of the three billion people who live in cities now, about one billion live in(30)unplanned settlements.

More than 60 million people are added to cities and their(32)surrounding areas each year, mostly in slums in developing countries. Molly O’Meara Sheehan,(33)the leading researcher of the Worldwatch report, believes that the international community has been too slow to recognize the growth of urban poverty.
