TAILIEUCHUNG - The Urbun Response To Internationalization

We live in the century of homo urbanus. For the first time in human history, half of the world’s population will reside in urban regions by 2007, with the proportion of those urbanized predicted to grow to 60 per cent by 2030. 1 Indeed, the rate of growth in urbanization will nearly double that of the overall population increase between 2000 and 2030 – per cent versus 1 per cent. 2 In contrast, a minuscule 3 per cent of the world’s population was urbanized in 1800, 14 per cent in 1900, and 30 per cent in 1950. 3 In the United States, the first census conducted in 1790. | EE The Urban Response to Internationalization Peter Karl Kresl Earl H.

Urbanization would increase to 11 per cent in 1840 almost 32 per cent in 1900 and about 80 per cent in As a result of global and regional transformations intergovernmental tensions social unrest demographic changes and a potpourri of other factors cities are in a state of flux. Many are becoming quite large especially in the so-called developing world. In terms of nomenclature the United Nations often refers to the major Western industrialized societies as the more developed countries the middle-range nations as the less developed and those suffering from widespread poverty as the least developed. We will use these UN terms throughout this book although at times we will refer to developed and developing countries as nations of the North and nations of the South. In 2003 there were already 20 megacities with populations exceeding 10 million and 16 of these were situated in less or lesser developed countries see Table .5 In contrast to the 20 megacities in 2003 only New York City had exceeded the 10 million mark back in Twenty-two cities now have between 5 and 10 million inhabitants 370 between 1 and 5 million and 433 between 500 000
