Africa's Growing Urban Population - Part 1
Africa's Growing Urban Population - Part 1
(www.abndigital.com) According to the US based Population Reference Bureau, in 1800, only 3% of the world's population lived in urban areas. By 1900, almost 14% were in urbanites; by 1950, 30% of the world's population resided in urban centers. In 2008, for the first time, the world's population was evenly split between urban and rural areas. It is expected that 70% of the world population will be urban by 2050, and that most urban growth will occur in less developed countries - read Africa and Latin America.

Tackling Urban Risk: Nicaragua
Tackling Urban Risk: Nicaragua
Strengthening Seismic disaster risk preparedness and response capacities in urban Managua. Managua cathedral, partially destroyed in the 1972 earthquake, has never been restored. Between 3000 and 7000 people were killed in the 1972 earthquake in Managua; more than 20000 were injured and 250000 left homeless. Nicaragua is a country especially vulnerable to natural hazards; periodically affected by hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods and droughts. Rapidly increasing urban population and unplanned urban growth has increased exposure and vulnerability to adverse natural events. Elevated water levels of Lake Managua, rising nearly four meters (13 feet) during Hurricane Mitch in 1998, poses a continued risk of flash flooding. Over 79% of the house and buildings in Managua are of bad or mediocre quality, 18% are in need of complete renovation (World Disaster Report, IFRC, 2010) The Nicaraguan population's vulnerability to hazard is aggravated by a dire socio-economic situation and high levels of poverty. Nicaragua remains the second poorest country in Latin America, after Haiti. Increasing social risk include growing expressions of urban violence amongst urban youth. María Lidia Torrez and her family are beneficiaries of the EU-DIPECHO finance project on Strengthening Earthquake Preparation and Response Capacities in twelve vulnerable neighbourhoods of Managua.

Children in Urban World- India
Children in Urban World- India
In India, 377 million people were living in cities in 2001. By 2026 the projected urban population will be 535 million. In India, an estimated 97 million people live in urban poverty, many in the megacities of Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, but also in smaller urban centres. The challenge ahead is to ensure that cities are liveable and safe places for all of the millions of children who call them home, where the risks facing the urban poor are mitigated and the rights of children are fulfilled.

January 2011, Las Vegas NV: The "envy" of the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show is... the EN-V Concept - a futuristic urban automotive vehicle from General Motors! Among the most spectacular technological highlights of CES 2011 was GM's US debut of the EN-V Concept car. This unique urban vehicle is GM's solution to the drastic increases expected in urban population and the consequent problems that will challenge automotive transportation in the next twenty years. This pod-like two seat electric vehicle is designed to alleviate the tremendous pressure on public infrastructure, traffic congestion, parking space, air quality afford-ability and more. In addition to its "space age" appearance EN-V cars will have the ability to communicate with each other, will cost less to operate, and will be safe and environmentally friendly. The EN-V Concept was a hit at the recent Shanghai Expo. EN-V Fast Facts! - EN-V is short for Electric Networked Vehicle - Leverages electrification and connectivity, creating a new class of personal urban mobility - Connectivity separates EN-V from other electric vehicles - Autonomous driving, parking and retrieval with advanced sensors and drive-by-wire systems - Uses electricity supplied by a lithium-ion phosphate battery and can be recharged using ordinary outlets Maximum speed of 40 kph and range of 40 kilometers, which is more than required by the average urban commuter - One-sixth the size of a regular passenger car and a 1.74 meter turning radius <b>...</b>

India -- Unrestrained Population Growth | Global 3000
In India, children signal social status and can be relied on to provide for their parents when they get old. This traditional mindset is slowly beginning to change, especially among the urban population. But 700 million Indians live in rural areas, and they are as traditional as ever. The traditional understanding of the family could soon become a problem. China - another country with a population of billions - has maintained a one-child policy as part of its population control program for more than 30 years. But India has no such policy - and its population is expected to exceed 1.7 billion by 2050.

Ukraine is second largest country on the European continent, after Russia. Ukrainians is the 7th most populous european nation (after Russia, Germany, Italy, UK, France, Spain ) and is the 23st (of 197) most populous country in the world. The crisis of 1990s negatively influenced the demographic situation in Ukraine. Massive migration, stimulated by the opportunities for free travel inside and outside the country, the decrease in the birth rate and increase in the death rate, caused by economic and sociopsychological factors, resulted in dramatic decline in Ukrainian population. Only in 2003 due to stabilization processes and steady economic growth, certain positive trends have developed, that could in time reverse the situation. Now in country live over 45 million people. Ukraine is a predominately urban country (68% population). The two largest ethnic communities are Ukrainians (77.8%) and Russians (17.3%) The level of education in Ukraine is viewed as one of the best in Europe. Number of people with higher and general education is growing. Ukraine in TOP-5 european countries by number of higher education graduates, a positive sign for the future.

Kenyas middle class has grown to 10 percent of the urban population — or 1.5 million people — making Kenya home to one of the largest middle class populations in sub-Saharan Africa. Government deregulation stimulated economic growth and turned Nairobbery — a former nickname for the city — into a booming economic center. Nairobi reflects this trend with multinational businesses, towering office buildings and a growing middle class. Worldfocus correspondent Martin Seemungal and producer Yuval Lion report from Nairobi on middle class Kenyans, who are educated, optimistic and upwardly mobile. More at worldfocus.org

Mazingira 24 - Farmers kit for green houses - Part 1 of 2
The Green Revolution is a series of technical innovations in food production that can lead to a rapid increase in cereal yields and production. The revolution was very successful in Asia where the growth in food production surpassed rapid population growth, thus avoiding predicted massive food shortages . In Africa, however, the Green Revolution has not had such sustained success. As the world's urban population continues to grow at a rapid rate, communities around the world are increasingly turning to "city agriculture" to produce cheap, locally grown fruit and vegetables. Among skyscrapers and housing estates, previously vacant lots are being used to produce food that experts say are "greener", cheaper and can empower one financially. Can Kenya become the next bread basket? This is the big question lingering in the minds of a few given the rich agricultural resource we are endowed with as a country? Green House technology and specifically, the Farmers kit can be carried out in any part of the country at the same cost...it's success rate given at 91 percent may be just the answer to Kenya's food security

Copenhagen is the capital and largest city of Denmark, with an urban population of 1199224 (as of 1 January 2011) and a metropolitan population of 1918062 (as of 1 April 2011). With the completion of the transnational Øresund Bridge in 2000, Copenhagen has become the centre of the increasingly integrating Øresund Region. Within this region, Copenhagen and the Swedish city of Malmö are growing into a combined metropolitan area. Copenhagen is situated on the islands of Zealand and Amager. First documented in the 11th century, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in the beginning of the 15th century. During the 17th century, under the reign of Christian IV, it became a significant regional centre. Copenhagen is a major regional centre of culture, business, media, and science, as indicated by several international surveys and rankings. Life science, information technology and shipping are important sectors and research & development plays a major role in the city's economy. Its strategic location and excellent infrastructure, with the largest airport in Scandinavia located 14 minutes by train from the city centre, have made it a regional hub and a popular location for regional headquarters[4] and conventions. Copenhagen has repeatedly been recognized as one of the cities with the best quality of life. It is also considered one of the world's most environmentally friendly cities.

Cities Now Home to More Than Half of All People
Cities Now Home to More Than Half of All People
This is the VOA Special English Economics Report, from voaspecialenglish.com Over half the world's people now live in cities. The latest "Global Report on Human Settlements" says the historic change took place last year. The report came out in October from UN Habitat, a United Nations agency. A century ago, fewer than five percent of all people lived in cities. By the middle of this century it could be seventy percent, or almost six and a half billion people. Already three-fourths of people in developed countries live in cities. Now most urban population growth is in the developing world. Urbanization can lead to social and economic progress, but also pressure on cities to provide housing and services. The new report says almost two hundred thousand people move into cities and towns each day. It says worsening inequalities, driven by social divisions and differences in wealth, could lead to violence unless cities plan better. Another issue is urban sprawl. This is where cities expand into rural areas, sometimes at a much faster rate than urban population growth. Sprawl is common in the United States. Americans move a lot. In a recent study, Art Hall at the University of Kansas found that people are moving away from the major cities to smaller cities. He sees a trend toward "de-urbanization" across America. But urban economies still provide possibilities that rural areas do not. Sabina Deitrick at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, is an expert on cities. She <b>...</b>
