In todays increasingly global and interconnected world, over half of the worlds population lives in urban areas, although there is still substantial variability in the levels of urbanization across countries. The coming decades will bring further profound changes to the size and spatial distribution of the global population. The continuing urbanization and overall growth of the worlds population are projected to add 2.5 billion people to the urban population by 2050, with nearly 90% of the increase concentrated in Asia and Africa. At the same time, the proportion of the worlds population living in urban areas is expected to increase, reaching 66% by 2050 (United Nations ).
