The world’s population is growing rapidly and reached 7.3 billion people in 2011. The highest rates of population growth are occurring in developing countries, such as Zimbabwe, Malawi and Niger. Some countries are experiencing population decline, for example Japan, Russia and the Ukraine. Today more than 50% of the world’s population live in urban areas. The number of cities with over 10 million people is increasing. These are called megacities. There are now 34 megacities in the world. The population of cities usually changes in one of two ways: Natural increase (or decrease) - this is the difference between the number of births and the number of deaths. Migration - this is the movement of people into or out of the city. More and more people are leaving rural areas and moving to cities. This is called rural to urban migration. People move because of push and pull factors. Push factors are things that make people want to leave rural areas and pull factors are the things that attract people to a city. Each year thousands of people move to the city from rural areas. People move because the city has lots of pull factors. They think that the city will provide lots of opportunities such as: social - better housing and services, eg healthcare and education economic - more jobs and higher wages environmental - better living conditions with a safer environment (less chance of natural disasters) People who move think that they will have a better quality of life. Unfortunately, cities face lots of challenges and the people who move there do not always have a better quality of life. Some of the challenges they may face include: social - poor housing conditions and crime economic - low wages or unemployment environmental - polluted drinking water and a lack of sanitation In the lesson you came across the following words and words combinations: developing countries – развивающиеся страны decline –спад urban area – городская территория megacity – мегаполис migration – миграция rural areas – сельские области push factors - подталкивающий фактор pull factors – притягивающий фактор sanitation – санитария
