The 3
rd
 and 4
th
 sentences give solutions to the issue.
As a first step, governments should provide more affordable housing in
city centers. UK cities like Manchester and London, for example, have
government housing near the city centers to assist low-income families.
So the whole first body paragraph would be:
Firstly, the dense concentration of people in cities has resulted in a
shortage of affordable housing. In several large cities, for example, a
large number of people end up living in the suburbs since the
shortage of space means renting in the city is too expensive. As a first
step, governments should provide more affordable housing in city
centers. UK cities like Manchester and London, for example, have
government housing near the city centers to assist low-income
families.

Body Paragraph 2
The second issue + solution…
 
1
st
sentence connects the previous paragraph to this new
paragraph and presents the new issue.
Living far away from work 
forces people to commute on a daily basis,
which contributes to the second issue
, 
traffic congestion
.
We then use an example to offer a soli, realistic basis for our
argument:
Traffic congestion has become a critical issue in several cities
worldwide. In Shanghai, for example, if you want to go from the East
to the West, you may end up spending seven hours sitting in your car
due to traffic jams.
