United Nations3
The World Urbanization Prospects are used widely throughout the United Nations and by many international organizations, research centres, academic researchers and the media. (un.org)
It is calculated using World Bank population estimates and urban ratios from the United Nations World Urbanization Prospects. (socialexplorer.com)
The United Nations Department of Social and Economic Affairs, and their database World Urbanization Prospects are behind these global estimates of urbanisation speed. (lu.se)
Migration4
In Africa, decision-makers have had a tendency to interpret urbanisation as mainly driven by migration. (lu.se)
Meanwhile, other types of efforts are needed if urbanisation is driven by natural growth rather than migration. (lu.se)

20171
According to the United Nation's world population prospects (2017), India's population is 1.34 billion which will go grow further and surpass China by 2025[1]. (mendeley.com)
Yet, there is a qualitative aspect of urbanization related to expansion of urban living, urban standards, practices and distribution of population between different types of urban settlements. (urbaneconomics.ru)
Therefore, if, in quantitative terms, saturation can be expected - as is the case with the countries which had been the first ones to undergo urbanization, such as Great Britain, with the share of urban population at 80-90% - in qualitative measures, the process of urbanization seems to have no visible limits so far. (urbaneconomics.ru)
Projections show that urbanization, the gradual shift in residence of the human population from rural to urban areas, combined with the overall growth of the world's population could add another 2.5 billion people to urban areas by 2050, with close to 90% of this increase taking place in Asia and Africa, according to a new United Nations data set launched today. (un.org)
Asia, despite its relatively lower level of urbanization, is home to 54% of the world's urban population, followed by Europe and Africa with 13% each. (un.org)
Understanding the key trends in urbanization likely to unfold over the coming years is crucial to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including efforts to forge a new framework of urban development. (un.org)
Although our method is very simple and omits various aspects of urbanization, it nonetheless yields valuable insight into long-term SSP-specific urbanization trends to inform discussion of sustainable urban policies. (nature.com)
This paper explores changing land values in the process of rapid urbanization in Dhaka, Bangladesh and its implications for urban land management and administration in the megacity. (springer.com)
Increasing urbanization through peripheral land conversion is of global concern since urban expansion onto peripheral/rural lands significantly affects energy flows, biodiversity and climatic conditions at local and/or regional levels (McDonnell et al. (springer.com)
With the emergence of shared autonomous mobility, connected infrastructure, and smart cities technologies, the prospects for an urban intermodal transportation ecosystem that is faster, cheaper, cleaner, and safer appear closer than ever. (deloitte.com)
India4
There is limited number of studies on understanding the impact of urbanization in India on summer monsoon rainfall, which is traditionally believed to be governed and dominated by large scale circulations. (nature.com)
Electricity demand in India is increasing at a rapid pace because of growth in Economy, urbanization, infrastructure development and the living standard of people. (mendeley.com)
In India, the speed of urbanisation is underestimated. (lu.se)
Cities5
Birds are a convenient model to study the effects of urbanization on wildlife, due to their conspicuousness and ubiquity in both cities and rural sites. (frontiersin.org)

The seminar will present new data sources and analysis from the UN Population Division on urbanization and potential environmental impacts on cities. (washington.edu)
Problems of urbanisation and growth of large cities in developing countries : a conceptual framework for policy analysis / by A. S. Oberai. (who.int)
The problem is further compounded by our throwaway society, the uncontrolled urbanization in many tropical cities of the world, and by the general ignorance of mosquito-borne diseases in those cities. (cdc.gov)
Refers1

The extraction of natural resources in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) represents an opportunity for economic development but also poses a threat to population health through rapid urbanisation and environmental degradation. (lu.se)
In Africa, the predicted rate of urbanisation is overestimated. (lu.se)
Climate3

Urbanization and climate change may be the two most important trends to shape global development in the decades ahead. (frontiersin.org)
