چکیده
Urban dwellers are rapidly becoming a majority of the population. Most of them live in developing countries, and an ever-higher proportion in the biggest cities.

The urban population is growing several times as fast as in the rural areas, either through natural growth (the difference in numbers between births and deaths) or through migration from rural areas. But rural population in developing countries will continue to grow.
