Use easy word and make it short

Rapid urbanization in Southeast Asia has caused strain on the infrastructure due to the fast growth of cities. Building more roads, hospitals, and public works may not be done quickly enough to support the increasing population. The rapid population growth also affects the availability of clean water, electricity, sewage systems, and housing. This can lead to overcrowding and inadequate living conditions in urban areas.
