Almost 50% of the worlds population lives in urban areas. 19% live in cities where the population exceeds 1 million people. Global scale rapid urbanisation has occurred over the last 50

years.

Most urbanised continents are Europe, North America, SouthAmerica Oceania (the developed world). However, there are more urban dwellers in Asia (40% of

population=1.4 billion) Also urbanisation is most rapidly increasing in Africa and Asia.

By 2025 almost half the population of them will live in urban

areas and 80% of all urban dwellers will live in developingcountries.

So , although MEDCs have more cities, more people actually livein cities in the developing world and this is continuing to rise.
