Answer 2

Explanation:

Most of the world's fastest growing cities are found in low-income countries of Asia and Africa with young populations.

Developing countries have the potential to grow at a faster rate than developed countries because diminishing returns (in particular, to capital) are not as strong as in capital-rich countries. Furthermore, poorer countries can replicate the production methods, technologies, and institutions of developed countries.
