URBAN planning: CHALLENGES in DEVELOPING COUNTRIES We're just passing one of the great milestones in human history. It is fundamental, in the sense that the Industrial Revolution in Britain was fundamental. For the first time in history, a majority of the world's six billion people are living in cities. Between 2000 and 2025, the world's URBAN population will double. (Sir Peter Hall, 2005). The advent of 2007 marks the year when, for the first time in the history of humanity, half the world's population will be living in cities.
