Abstract

World urban population will grow 75 % in the next four decades and will reach 6.3 billion by 2050 as a result of the unprecedented growth that Asian and African cities will experience, as stated by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) in the World Urbanization Prospects Report, 2014 Revision (United Nations, DESA 2014), while by the same year 89 % of the population in Latin America will live in towns and cities (IADB 2012).
