Half The World Lives In Cities

"Half of the world's 6 billion people now live in cities and more will join them in the next two decades, putting pressure on governments to make urban areas more livable, according to a report released Friday. Though most of this increase will occur in the world's poorer countries, industrialized nations will not escape the pressures of urbanization, The Population Institute said. Even in wealthier countries, more and more educated people will move from rural areas to cities in search of better opportunities."
