Abstract

Urbanization, however defined, is generally accepted as an important force in shaping the social, economic, and physical environment of the contemporary world. A recent World Bank sector paper on urbanization details some of the recent trends and impacts of urban growth at the global scale. Despite its acceptance as a major force in affecting contemporary affairs, the process of urbanization is not fully understood and debate continues over its nature, significance, and future.
