模範解答は下記でした。
Urban populations worldwide continue to expand as people migrate from rural areas in search of better opportunities for wealth and social mobility. As a result, cities are becoming increasingly overcrowded, which means insufficient land is available for residential and infrastructure development. In response to this problem, some cities are employing land reclamation as a way to increase the amount of land that can be used for construction. Unfortunately, the disadvantage of land reclamation is that it is less sturdy than natural land, so costly preventative work is required to protect the buildings constructed on it.

The proportion of the world’s population lived in urban areas had risen, and it continues to grow. It is because of the movement of people from rural areas to cities. They are seeking educational opportunities, jobs, and the chance to improve their lives.

これで110語です。語数の目安は90語～110語なので、ちょうどですね。
ですが、言い回しを変えます。
The percentage of people living in urban areas worldwide has increased and is still rising. The reason for this is the migration of people from rural to urban areas. They are looking for employment, educational opportunities, and the ability to better their lives.
In addition to placing stress on utility supply networks and transportation systems, increased population density also results in a shortage of housing and public amenities.
A technique called land reclamation has been used by some cities. This has given us more room to expand. Nevertheless, because it is not as solid as naturally formed land, developers must invest heavily in stabilizing the area to avoid causing harm to the buildings.
113語と少々でましたが、良しとします。200語超の大作を書いてしまってはダメですが、90語～110語はsuggestionです。少々すくなくとも、少々おおくとも大丈夫です。
どうでしょう。まず本文から該当文を抜き出すことが先決です。
それをつなげるだけで合格点はもらえると思います。
慣れていなければ、抜き出してつなげることに集中してください。
言い回しを変えることは、次のステップで良いです。
