Trends in Global Urban Development

Between 2018 and 2050, the number of people globally who live in urban areas is expected to increase from about 4.2 billion to 6.7 billion. With popoulation expected to increase to 9.8 bilion over the same period, the world's urban areas will become home to more than two-thirds of the people in the world. Urban domination will have implications for society.Without proper planning and investment, urbanization trends could strain our housing, transportation, infrastructure, public safety, and other fundamental infrastruture and community servies and utilities upon which modern society depends. Communities will also need to address climate change with sustainable and resilient development.

CFS Forum on Urbanization, Rural Transformation and Implications for Nutrition

The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) Forum on Urbanization, Rural Transformation and Implications for Food Security and Nutrition will address challenges and opportunities resulting from rapid urbanization and the transformation of agriculture, food systems and rural spaces. Building on the outcomes of reports of the High-Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE), it will discuss areas for policy consideration, including: inclusive growth; poverty eradication; economic, environmental and social sustainability; support of local food systems and economies; and food security and nutrition. The aim of the Forum is to develop a better understanding of issues at stake and identify areas of intervention and potential roles for the CFS.       Event Holder: International Institute for Sustainable Development Source of data: Annual Macro-Economic Database, 2016, Global Food Security Index, 2016, World Development Indicators (WDI), July 2016, The Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), 2015, Poverty and Equity Database, 2015

Urban Population Growth //knoema.fr/eyfqyke/urban-population-growth 2019-10-07T07:09:57Z Alena Raschayskas knoema.fr://knoema.fr/user/1000680
Urban Population Growth

Urban population - the population living in urban areas. Due to the fact that the criteria for classifying settlements as urban in different countries do not coincide, the data on the urban population of different countries are not quite comparable. In developed countries, the predominance of large-urban forms of settlements is observed. The ratio between the urban population and the rural population characterizes the degree of urbanization of a country or an individual region. In 2018, the urban population reached 4.2 billion people, or 55% of the world's population. The entire population is considered urban in 10 countries. The rapid urbanization of the world led to the fact that in 2007 a historically important milestone was overcome - for the first time in the history of mankind, the urban population exceeded the rural population. In subsequent years, the urban population continued to grow at a faster pace. Now the growth rate of the world's urban population is gradually slowing, although it remains high.

Proportion of urban population living in slums, 1990-2010 //knoema.fr/omzfjtd/proportion-of-urban-population-living-in-slums-1990-2010 2017-10-16T13:41:17Z Misha Gusev knoema.fr://knoema.fr/user/1000560
Proportion of urban population living in slums, 1990-2010

Proportion of urban population in developing world increased by 10 percentage points during 1990-2010 and reached 45% in 2010. Income growth reduced the proportion of urban population living in slums from 46% in 1990 to 33% in 2010. Nevertheless, population living in slums continues to grow and in 2010 it amounted to 828 million people (+171 million since 1990). More than half of increase comes from Sub-Saharan Africa, where population living in slums grew by 97 million from 1990.

Population of Urban Agglomerations (millions) //knoema.fr/btrtccd/population-of-urban-agglomerations-millions 2015-10-26T11:43:15Z Misha Gusev knoema.fr://knoema.fr/user/1000560
Population of Urban Agglomerations (millions)

In 1950 New York with its 12.3 million people was the largest urban agglomeration. It was followed by Tokyo (11.3 mln.), London (8.4 mln.), Paris (6.3 mln.) and Moscow (5.4 mln.). Only 4 cities from the former top 10 stay there 60 years later. Population of Tokyo more than trippled (reached almost 37 millions in 2010) and now it is the largest urban agglomeration on Earth. Population of New York increased by 8 millions since 1950, and now it is the fouth largest urban agglomeration. New members in top ten are Delhi and Mexico City with population above 20 millions going after Tokyo. Today seven of ten largest urban agglomerations are located in Asia.

UN Global Urban Population Projection, 2015 Revision

According to the UN, the world's urban population will increase by about 60 percent by 2050, from 4 million people in 2015 to 6.3 million in 2050. In other words, by 2050, the UN expects that two out of three people in the world will live in an urban area. In contrast, during the early part of the twentieth century the majority of the world's population lived in rural areas. Some countries will remain rural population dominant, particularly in Africa. However, the UN expects that Africa will experience the fastest increase in urbanization, from 40 percent of the total population in 2015 to 56 percent in 2050. The UN Department of Economics and Social Affairs Population Division has issued biennial estimates and projections of urban and rural populations by country and major urban agglomerations since 1988. The World Urbanization Prospects reports are used widely by international organizations, research centers, and the media. The UN 2015 Revision of World Population Prospects web site provides the main findings of the 2015 Revision, which are consistent with its total population projections, by country, as published in the 2014 Revision.  Source: World Urbanization Prospects
