1/ As a country develops from primarily an agricultural to an industrial economy, large-scale migration of rural residents to towns and cities takes place
2/ Rapid growth of overall population has deferred this event in most less-developed countries, but it is projected to occur in the early decades of the 21st
century
3/ Some 29 percent of the world population was living in urban areas in 1950; this figure was 43 percent in 1990, and is projected to rise to 50 percent by the year 2005
4/ Dealing with these conditions, especially in very large cities, presents massive difficulties for the governments of less-developed countries
5/ Most migrants to the cities can be assumed to have bettered themselves in comparison to their former standard of living, despite the serious problems of overcrowding, substandard housing, and inadequate municipal services that characterize life for many arrivals to urban centers
6/ During this process, the growth rate of urban areas is typically double the pace of overall population increase
7/ Urbanization eventually leads to a severe decline in the number of people living in the countryside, with negative population growth rates in rural areas
