Order the sentences about urban transport issues and solutions

Some roads are not built to cope with the increasing capacity of cars and vehicles. This causes traffic to build up, especially at peak times often called the work ‘rush hours’.
However, the majority of cities and urban areas have recognised the need to increase sustainable public transport (including cycling incentives) in order to reduce congestion.
Photochemical smog has dangerous effects on human health, causing and worsening breathing conditions and respiratory diseases such as asthma and emphysema.
When the traffic builds up so much, it can often cause a standstill in vehicles. This is often referred to as congestion.
Congestion is bad for the environment as it leads to increased air pollution. This air pollution happens when pollutants from cars and vehicles mix with sunlight and become trapped in the air, called photochemical smog.
As the urban population grows, more people are using cars to commute to work through the city.
Some other cities are offering incentives for its citizens to buy and use electric vehicles (which produce less pollutants).
Many urban areas have implemented plans to reduce congestion, ranging from introducing a congestion charge and creating pedestrian only areas.
