Explanation

Urban planning should balance development with social protection.

The passage first gives benefits of mixed-use development: less commuting + environmental sustainability.  

Then it gives the criticism: higher property prices and displacement of lower-income residents unless appropriate housing policies are in place.

So the author is presenting both sides and implies we need the benefits with policies to protect people.

Passage

Passage:

Traffic means everything using the roads. Taxis, buses, cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, tongas and rickshaws etc. are traffic. You are a part of the traffic when you walk along the pavement.

Today, more and more people live in cities. As a result, there is a lot of traffic. The roads are too narrow. Some roads are broken and there are pits and ditches in them. The result is that there are many ACCIDENTS. Why do accidents happen? Some people say it is the fault of people who use the roads. That means everybody. If every road-user is careful, there will be no accidents, we must improve our road. Our roads should be smooth and straight. Roads with corners and blind corners are dangerous.

Accidents often happen when one road crosses another. Instead, one road goes high over another road. This is called a ‘fly over’.
