Since 1988 the Population
Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the
United Nations has been issuing every two years revised and updated
estimates and projections of the urban and rural populations of all
countries in the world and of their major urban agglomerations. This
web site presents the main findings of the 2009 Revision of
World Urbanization Prospects which are consistent with the
size of the total population of each country as estimated or
projected in the 2008 Revision of World Population
Prospects (United Nations, 2009).
The World
Urbanization Prospects are used widely throughout the United
Nations and by many international organizations, research centers,
academic researchers and the media. |
