"The $pundits^{\prime} claim Dhaka is amongst the fastest growing city in the$ world. The population is multiplying in geometric proportions and if the same $pundits^{\prime} are not too$ smart, which am afraid most of them are not always, the population and the city will soon collapse under their own weights. Do we see the pundits smirk now? However, Dhaka is being inundated by a migrant population flocking in their millions $\to the beleaguered$ city, in search of jobs, opportunity of which there is not $\to$ much, $\to beg at the city$ light, steal, collect tolls, smash cars, you name it. Of course, the city fathers in solemn tones inform us that the law and other situation is better now than what it was even a short while ago. Every once in a while our city fathers and mothers will also took the other way, when it comes $\to solving the accommodation problems of the teeming millions in the$ city.

The only problem here comes $\to be the city authorities who are so blinded with keeping the beggars away so they do not hinder the$ ""games"", that they do not seem $\to have the time \to anything$ else. And if they cannot those ugly, big structures mushrooming all over the city, they are in big trouble. It is a dispiriting exercise, this entire effort of trying $\to make$ ""them who matter"" see anything they are not interested in seeing. Admittedly, air this seems perhaps funny in print, but in real life, it somehow seems $\to have lost its humor as the city groans under the continual construction of high rise$ buildings." The word the author is favoring most in describing the tall structures is:
