Solid waste is a major disutility of urbanization in Nigeria as rapid urbanization combined with industrialization in Nigerian cities have created greater concentration of wastes than what these cities’ systems can possibly assimilate. One state where this problem is most severe is Lagos State. The size of the state, coupled with the other factors like population trend, topography, concentratio...

Urbanization and economic development are closely intertwined. While urbanization per se does not cause development, sustained economic development does not occur without urbanization. This paper starts with a “primer” on what we know about the conceptual and empirical links between development and urbanization. Empirical evidence is partly based on historical experience in developed countries ...

China's urbanization will influence the future world economic development. China's s urbanization rate is from 10.6% in1949 to 53.73% in 2013, and the research center of the experts predict that China's urbanization rate will reach 60% in 2020.The characteristic of China's urbanization is the coordinated development of four modernizations, which includes informatization, industrialization, urba...

the exponential growth of urbanization leads to increase in severity of environmental problemsespecially assonated with disposal of solid waste. with considering the increasing rate of solid waste generation in urban area, the problem of availability of space required to dispose it off is become a concern for planners and administrators of urban local bodies (ulb). in order to cope up with the ...

In the context of Beijing’s accelerated economic growth, a high urbanization rate and associated urban problems pose challenges. We collected panel data for the period 2005–2014 to examine the relationship between Beijing’s urbanization efficiency and economic growth rate as well as its spatial patterns of dynamic and static urbanization efficiency. Specifically, we developed a comprehensive in...

Urbanization affects communities of herbivorous arthropods and provides opportunities for dramatic changes in their abundance and richness. Underlying these changes are creation of impervious surfaces; variation in the density, diversity, and complexity of vegetation; and maintenance practices including pulsed inputs of fertilizers, water, and pesticides. A rich body of knowledge provides theor...
