Definición

  • Although the world population has historically been rural, there are now more people in urban areas than in the rural hinterlands for the first time in history. According to UN estimates, in 2010 more than 3.5 billion people (50.6%) will inhabit urban centers around the world, with the highest concentration of large urban centers in Asia (Table 1, Figure 1).
