More and more of the world's population are living in towns or cities. |
[00:05.13] |
The speed at which cities are growing in the less developed countries is alarming. |
[00:11.36] |
Between 1920 and 1960,big cities in developed contries increased two and a half times in size, |
[00:20.15] |
but in other parts of the world the growth was eight times their size. |
[00:25.45] |
The sheer size of growth is bad enough, |
[00:29.76] |
but there are now also very disturbing signs of trouble in the comparison of percentages of people living in towns and percentage of people working in industry. |
[00:41.62] |
During the 19th century,cities grew as a result of the growth of industry. |
[00:48.57] |
In Europe,the proportion of people living in cities was always smaller than that of the workforce working in factories. |
