Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 20 to 29.

1. As urban populations continue to grow, the challenge of creating livable cities becomes increasingly complex. Rather than viewing nature as an obstacle to development, modern urban planners are adopting biophilic design, an approach that integrates natural systems into city environments. This shift is not only about aesthetics but also responds to strong evidence that cities with natural elements are more resilient, healthier, and economically sustainable.

2. This approach is based on several important ideas. Firstly, cities are considered ecosystems that are part of nature, not separate from it. Secondly, natural systems can provide essential services like controlling floods and regulating temperature more effectively than traditional engineering methods. Thirdly, human health and well-being are closely connected to spending time in natural environments. These principles are applied in urban design at different levels, from individual buildings to neighborhoods and large green infrastructure networks across cities. The aim is to create “living cities” where nature and urban life coexist harmoniously.

3. [I] Traditional urban infrastructure often harms natural systems by covering streams, directing stormwater into pipes, and creating surfaces that prevent water absorption. [II] Examples include bioswales that naturally filter stormwater, permeable pavements that allow water to seep into the ground, and constructed wetlands that manage floods while supporting wildlife. [III] These systems are often more cost-effective and provide multiple [IV] benefits. For instance, Portland, Oregon, has saved millions through its green infrastructure program.

4. Creating nature-integrated cities also requires connecting green spaces to support wildlife movement and biodiversity, while providing opportunities for residents to engage with nature. Cities like Singapore have successfully implemented biodiversity corridors that link parks and reserves, transforming urban spaces into “cities in nature.”

5. To achieve this vision, cities must update building regulations, protect natural areas, promote community involvement, and encourage sustainable development practices. This holistic approach is essential for building resilient, healthy, and liveable urban environments.

The word integrates in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to __________
