8 Aggregated statistics suggest rapid urbanization but.. Large proportions of world s urban centers are not growing rapidly A significant proportion are actually losing population Statistics hide people living in poor condition in mega-cities However, despite appearing chaotic, provision for basic services are well-above their national averages in large cities
9 World s ten fastest growing cities By annual average population increment ( ) Tokyo (464,000), Mexico City (304,000), Sao Paulo (296,000), Mumbai (262,000), Delhi (221,000), Dhaka (195,000), Jakarta (191,000), Karachi (180,000), Seoul (178,000), Kolkata (172,000) By annual average growth rate ( ) Karaj/Iran (10.5%), Brasilia (9.1%), Abidjan (8.2%), Lusaka/Zambia (8.1%), Faridabad (8%), Dubai (7.9%), Kaduna/Nigeria (7.8%), Riyad (7.7%), Las Vegas(7.6%), Dammam/Saudi Arabia (7.4%)
10 World s ten slowest growing cities ( ) By annual average growth rate Liverpool, Leeds, Copenhagen, London, Manchester, Genoa (reducing population) Berlin, Birmingham, Xiaoshan, Xintai, Buffalo, Newcastle, Budapest Slowest glowing cities are mostly in Europe, many in China and some in USA
11 We overestimated in the past!! Less urbanized and less dominant by large cities than predicted Mexico City:18 million in 2000 as opposed to 31 million predicted by UN in 1975 Calcutta: 13 million in 2000 as opposed to million predicted by Lester Brown in 1974 Mega-cities: 18 in 2000 as opposed to 27 predicted by UN in 1975 Several million fewer than predicted for Sao Paulo, Rio, Seoul, Chennei and Cairo
12 Often cross-city comparisons are confusing and misleading What is city population? City boundaries are not set by universal criteria Can go + few millions depending on boundaries Most large cities has at least three definitions (core city, metropolitan city, development planning zone) What is level of urbanization? Definition of urban is locally determined which varies widely from country to country Is it census data? Bottom-line: Urbanization data is not a precise figure
13 What is city population? Population Area(km2) Explanation Beijing (1990) 2,336, Four inner-city district including old city 5,400, Core city 6,325,722 1,369 Inner city + inner suburban districts 10,819,407 16,808 Including outer districts + 8 counties Tokyo (1990) 8,164, Tokyo 23-wards 11,856,000 2,162 Tokyo prefecture (Tokyo-to) 31,559,000 13,508 Greater Tokyo Metropolitan Area 39,158,000 36,834 National Capital Region Los Angeles (1990) 3,000, LA City 8,700,000 10,635 LA counties 8,863,000 6,526 LA-Long Beach Primary metropolitan statistical area 14,532,000 88,000 LA consolidated metropolitan statistical area
14 Often cross-city comparisons are confusing and misleading What is city population? City boundaries are not set by universal criteria but local Can go + few millions depending on boundaries Most large cities has at least three definitions (core city, metropolitan city, development planning zone) What is level of urbanization? Definition of urban is locally determined which varies widely from country to country Is it census data? Bottom-line: Urbanization data is not a precise figure
15 Incomparable definitions of urban determines global urbanization numbers Who defines urban? Mexico can be 74.4% urban (in 2000) or 67.3% urban depending on definition of urban center as settlements with 2,500 or 15,000 people India classifies 500-5,000 inhabitant settlements as rural villages if India changes definition, it will be predominantly urban population 17.5% of Egypt's population lived in settlements with 10,000 to 20,000 inhabitants which were not classified as urban (1996) In Sweden, urban (tätort) refers to settlements of more than 200 inhabitants with continuous built-up area that houses are not more than 200 meters apart when discounting rivers, parks, roads, etc What would be world s urban population data if we apply Swedish definition to India and China? Lower ends of urban definition swings urbanization levels drastically
16 Often cross-city comparisons are confusing and misleading What is city population? City boundaries are not set by universal criteria but local Can go + few millions depending on boundaries Most large cities has at least three definitions (core city, metropolitan city, development planning zone) What is level of urbanization? Definition of urban is locally determined which varies widely from country to country Is it census data? Bottom-line: Urbanization data is not a precise figure
17 Beyond boundary issue- accurate accounting Census data - best case:10 years, worst case: years (Sub-Saharan Africa) Projected data from 1970 for 1990 and 2000 are not reliable Often it is said that sub-saharan Africa surprisingly Often it is said that sub-saharan Africa surprisingly urbanized without economic growth (World Bank in 1990) but those were projected data from 1970
18 Often cross-city comparisons are confusing and misleading What is city population? City boundaries are not set by universal criteria but local Can go + few millions depending on boundaries Most large cities has at least three definitions (core city, metropolitan city, development planning zone) What is level of urbanization? Definition of urban is locally determined which varies widely from country to country Is it census data? Bottom-line: Urbanization data is not a precise figure, we should be aware of these limitations when we use it
19 What these aggregated statistics don't tell? Behind the story of urban change Immediate cause- movement of people from rural to urban area Underlying case concentration of new investment and economic opportunities in urban centers Key factors Economic, social, political and demographic changes underpinning urbanization Particular local and national influencing factors
20 Middle and low-income nations The scale and direction of people s movement consistent with spatial location of economic opportunity defined by concentration of profit-seeking enterprises and people working outside agriculture for living - Large importance of industry and service sector Expanding economy attract more migrants In many nations rural-rural migration is on larger scale than rural-urban migration Urban centers concentrate public service provision (education, hospitals, government offices and functionaries)
21 Drivers for urban change State of national economy Scale of economy Local factors Decisions of national governments Structure of government (division of power and resources between different levels of government) Extent and spatial distribution of transport and communication investments Local investors Location, natural resources endowment, demographic structure State of infrastructure Quality and capacity of public institutions External factors Connectedness of nation's economy with neighboring nations and global economy 30,000 or so global corporations who control significant share of world economy
22 Local factors are key to size and spatial distribution of urban population Case of Pakistan: Political factors Partition from India (1.8 million added mostly to Sindh and Punjab, especially Hyderabad and Karachi; drop in NWFP by 1951), Bangladesh partition, Afgan civil war (3.7 million moved to Pakistan, Peshawar, Quetta), political structure Case of Mexico: economic changes Up to 1940: Agro-exporting period (Cities grew as place for market and service centers for agriculture) : Import substitution period (Mexico City expanded) : Slowing economic growth led to export-oriented industry (deceleration of Mexico and growth of US-border cities as export processing zones and port cities) In 2000, Mexico grew half of what was expected 20 years back Strong impact of migration slowed economy
23 Local factors are key to size and spatial distribution of urban population Case of South Africa: Racial discrimination Strict control over rights of black majority to live and move to urban centers limited scale of urban growth (displaced within 60 km of large cities) Urban center are also shaped by development of gold and diamond mines Influence of immigration flows and decline in white population since 1991
24 Urbanization level and economic change In general, nations with higher income are also nations with higher level of urbanization however Amongst the nations of same income there is a great diversity in urbanization level Thailand 20% and Columbia 75% in 2001 (about 6,000 US$, PPP) Amongst the nations of same urbanization rates, there are a great diversity in income levels Such as Columbia and USA in 2001 (close to 77%) where per capita income (PPP) of USA was about 7 times more World Bank data and UN Pop statistics
25 Final words The speed and size of urbanization has been unprecedented for last 100 years and more specifically in period However, the world is less urbanized and less dominated by large cities than predicted few decades back Asia will continue to play center-stage in this saga Rapid urban change is generally thought to be taking place at low- and middle- economies but are not only confined there - North America has some of fastest growing cities, some of key European cities are declining Urban data are a good reference but one should be aware of its limitations, especially in cross-comparisons Economic, social, political and demographic changes underpin urban change - particular local and national factors influences
