What problems have rapid urbanization in Southeast Asia caused?
Rapid urbanization in Southeast Asia has caused a range of problems, including but not limited to:
1. Inadequate infrastructure - cities have been turning into mega-cities with simple and often inadequate infrastructure. Cities are struggling to provide sufficient housing, transportation, sanitation, healthcare, and education to their people.
2. Environmental pollution - Rapid urbanization has led to environmental pollution, strains on natural resources, environmental degradation, and unsustainable waste and energy management practices.
3. Social and economic disparities - Rapid urbanization has fostered disparities in cities between rich and poor, underscoring how development can leave certain groups of people behind.
4. Vulnerability to climate change - Urban areas in Southeast Asia are among the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, given the prevalence of natural disasters and the susceptibility that they introduce to housing and population displacement.
5. Migration and social dislocation - Rapid urbanization has caused many rural areas to lose their population to dynamic cities. This migration has led to significant disruptions to traditional ways of life, and has led to social dislocation within both rural and urban communities.

What roles have geography and trade played in forming Southeast Asia's culture?
Geography and trade have played crucial roles in shaping the culture of Southeast Asia. Here are a few examples:
1. Maritime trading routes - Southeast Asia has long relied on maritime trading routes to import and export goods. The region's strategic location in the Indian Ocean and Pacific waterways allowed traders from India, China, and other neighboring regions to exchange goods, such as spices, silks, and precious metals, leading to the development of unique cultures that blended regional traditions.
2. Tropical climate - The region's tropical climate has influenced aspects of the Southeast Asian culture, such as farming, food production, and architecture. Southeast Asian flora and fauna have also shaped the daily lives of people in the region, from rice paddies to tropical bamboo houses.
3. Mountainous regions - Mountainous regions in Southeast Asia have prevented easy access between different regions, leading to the development of many localized cultures with varied dialects, customs, and beliefs.
4. Influence of religion - Religion, particularly Buddhism and Islam, has had a significant influence on Southeast Asia's culture, affecting dress, language, and food. However, the way that these religions have influenced Southeast Asia has been distinct from other regions, due to the influence of previous religious and cultural traditions in the region.
5. Colonialism - European colonialism in Southeast Asia introduced Western economic and political systems, languages, and architecture, leading to further diversification and change to the cultural landscape of the region.
