IMF on urbanisation
The September 2007 issue of Finance & Development, a quarterly publication from the International Monetary Fund, includes some interesting articles on the global trend towards urbanisation. Highlights include Martin Ravallion, the director of the development research group of the World Bank, arguing that, if anything, an even faster pace of urbanisation is needed. There are also numerous charts and statistics to illustrate how the world is urbanising.
