In May 2007\, a major demographic milestone was passed. For the first time\, the earth’s population became more urban than rural. This process of urbanization will accelerate in the decades to come\: most of the growth in the world population – to 9 billion people in 2050 – will occur in urban areas. By 2050\, the urban population will be approximately twice the size of the rural population.
