The year 2007 will mark a turning point in human history: the world's urban population will for the first time exceed the world's rural population. But with the concomitant strain this will place upon current urban infrastructures, what does this mean for the state of our cities - especially those experiencing the highest rates of 'in-migration' (influx of people to cities) in the developing world? Guided in focus by the UN Millennium Development Goals, this new "State of the World's Cities" volume considers the wide range of issues that affect the lives of (mainly poor) urban dwellers: water and sanitation, shelter, overcrowding, malnutrition, HIV/AIDS, education, employment, and more. Research from Un-Habitat is discussed and clearly presented in full colour, easy-to-read graphs, boxes, tables and photos, and illustrated with case studies from around the globe.
