For the first time in history, more people around the world live in urban areas than in rural areas. At the same time the world is experiencing high levels of internal and international migrations as people flee crises or look for better opportunities in other places. So what has caused urbanisation and the large-scale movement of people? What are the consequences of these changes and how can we best manage them to enhance sustainability?
With the person next to you, discuss + answer the following questions:
Why has the world become more urbanised?
How does migration affect the concentration of people in urban places?
How does urbanisation change environments and places?
What strategies are used to manage environmental change in urban places to enhance sustainability?
