between 2000 and 2005 in the proportion of people

49
The Urbanization ProcessUrbanization was
stimulated by advances in farm productivity that
50

• provided the extra food to support the increased
  numbers of townspeople, and
• made many farmers and farm laborers redundant,
  prompting them to migrate to cities.

51
Urban Process

• In the first half of the 20th century, the
  fastest urban growth took place in the western
  cities (New York, London, etc.).
• They were magnets for immigration and job
  opportunities.
• However, later on, more and more undeveloped
  counties and cities started to double or triple
  in population as well, despite having less
  resources and technology to sustain their people.

megacity a city with over 10 million people

A global city, also known as a world city, is a
prominent centre of trade, banking, finance,
innovation, and markets. Whereas "megacity"
refers to any city of enormous size, a global
city is one of enormous power or influence.
Global cities, have more in common with each
other than with other cities in their host
nations.

Does Global Urbanization Lead Primarily to
Undesirable Consequences?
96
Why Global Urbanization is harmful (YES)

• Many researchers believe that poverty and health
  problems are consequences of urbanization.
• Most migrants believe that cities will offer more
  hope of a job and better health care and
  educational opportunities for their children.
• Unfortunately, the urban poor in developing
  countries live in squalor unlike anything they
  left behind in their rural past.

97

• Mega-city residents are crowded into unsanitary
  slums and are subject to serious disease
  outbreaks.
• They consume unsafe food and water that could
  subject these people to life-threatening diarrhea
  and dehydration.
• Horrible air pollution lead to many lung
  infections and respiratory problems.

98

• The current problem in urbanization is not that
  cities of the developing world are growing, but
  that they are expanding at a rapid pace.
• Urban populations will double in size in the next
  few decades, while rural populations are barely
  growing.
• According to a 1994 UN report, by 2030, more than
  half of all Asians and Africans will live in
  urban areas and Latin America and the Caribbean
  will be 84 urban, a level comparable to the U.S.

99
Why Global Urbanization is beneficial
Sustainable Urbanization

• Massive migration to urban regions in the
  developing world provides an opportunity for
  energy savings (subways, public transit), if
  planned properly.
• Urbanization could be a great opportunity for
  progressives to build a more peaceful world.
• Urbanization involves moving away from rural
  areas, which are often isolated and do not have
  an adequate education or political
  representation.
• The diffusion of ideas is best found in cities
  around the world.
• Governmental costs will be reduced when goods and
  services are delivered to those in more densely
  populated environments.

100

• Urbanization creates new potentialities for
  democracy.
• City dwellers have much more in common with each
  other, and get to interact with each other more
  often.
• This will start ending racism and prejudice which
  still resides in most rural areas today.
• Urban dwellers have a convergence of needs and
  desires that makes them a class with shared
  interests.

101

• urbanization presents a great opportunity for the
  world to achieve international peace and creates
  new possibilities for democracy and sharing of
  common interests across national boundaries.
• Urbanization does not always lead to a bad
  environment, as most environmentalists and
  progressives believe.
