Read the following passage and answer the question that follow:
Urbanization - the demographic shift from country to city - began with industrialization, and it has not let up. In
1900, fewer than 15 percent of the world’s population lived in cities. Fifty years later, that number had doubled
to 30 percent of the world’s population of 750 million. By 2000, 2.9 billion people, or 47 percent of the world’s
population, were living in urban areas, with the greatest growth occurring in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. In
2007, for the first time in history, the urban population exceeded 50 percent, and by 2050, according to World
Health Organization (WHO), seven out of ten people will call urban areas home….
Contrary to common belief, fewer than 10 percent of urban dwellers are residents of megacities with
populations of over ten million. A megacity consists of the city proper and its adjoining suburban centers. An
example is the New York-Newark aggregation, which in 1950 was the world’s only megacity; by 2011, it was the
sixth largest of 21 megacities. The population of Greater Tokyo, the world’s largest urban area and home to 36.7
million residents, is forecast to exceed 37 million by 2020.Megaciites Mumbai, Delhi, Dhaka, and Lagos, which
do not yet appear on the Top Ten list, are steadily moving up the ladder. About half of the world’s urban dwellers
live in cities of under half a million people, and these cities continue to outpace megacities in growth.
A population
B territorial area
D their GDP
