Living in Cities, Urbanization and Globalization

Over time, the ancient city returned to the Bible and the development of the town increased dramatically. It is the oldest city in history, known as the city of Byblos, it has the reputation of being the oldest city in the world and dates back to the 3 rd century. In ancient Greece, the city of all cities was called Megapolis, and the current example is New York City or Chicago. Compared to modern cities, past cities are obviously different and are being built. Cities are defined as permanent settlements, but they are more than mere cities and must be built.

Cities and Urbanization: We have lived in the city for millennia. By 2100 more people will live in town than the current world. Cities are the driving force of global growth. They are filled with opportunities and challenges. They presented a typical "globalism" case: the most successful cities are connected worldwide and can fulfill local needs ... in other words, along the value of global citizens.

The goal of sustainable development has been implemented in an increasingly urbanized world and now more than half of the world's population live in cities. Urbanization has brought the world's largest development challenge, but it also provides tremendous opportunities to promote sustainable development. Sustainable development objective 11 recognizes the central role of urbanization in sustainable development and seeks "comprehensive, safe, adaptive and sustainable cities and people settlements". As one of the 17 sustainable development goals that set priority of public policy and lead the flow of development over the next 15 years, urban sustainable development goal is to build strong partnership and for sustainable cities We will secure additional resources for. Development provides a great opportunity

As cities become entrances to the world's political economy, urban populations are growing fast in developing countries. According to the United Nations' 2014 Global Urbanization Perspective Report, "From 2014 to 2050, the world's urban population will increase by 5 billion, nearly 90% will be concentrated in Asia and Africa." It will triple and become the fastest urbanized area in the world. Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, has attracted entrepreneurs and East Africans to seek better living. Approximately 3.5 million inhabitants live in major cities in this region and the population has increased tenfold since Kenya independence in 1963. It is the economic and cultural center and home to United Nations Africa Headquarters, United Nations Environment Program, and the UN Human Settlement Plan.
