Urbanisation Sample Clauses

Urbanisation. Analyses of global urbanization trends suggests that more than 60% of the increase in the world's urban population over the next two decades will occur in Asia, particularly in China and India, but also in Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Philippines, and Vietnam. It is expected that by 2015 there will be 21 megacities worldwide of which 12 will be in Asia, including 7 of the 10 largest. The UN predicts that in the next decade Asia will have more than half its population living in urban areas. The Asia Horizon Scan 2011 identifies a range of pushes and pulls, both intentional (government policies, technological advances in the building sector) and unintentional (conflict, climate change, economic fluctuations, etc.). This could mean very different and dynamic patterns of urbanisation (e.g. urban corridors, two- site rural-urban living as a coping strategy, shrinking of or reshaping of coastal cities in climate change hotspots). Large urban centres are the most dynamic sectors in national economies. There are disparities in regional areas as a result of a concentration of power, investment, decision making and services in large cities. As a result, the contrast between the prosperity of these cores and many peripheral areas has grown. Further, rapid demographic shifts within the region, rising inequality in urban rather than rural areas, and higher costs of living in urban areas make low-income urban population groups particularly vulnerable.
