  Passage 2

  Just 30 years ago some 700 million people lived in cities. Today the number stands at1,800 million, and by the end of the century it will top 3,000 million——more than half theworld's estimated population. The flood of 'urbanites' is swallowing not the richest countries, but the poorest. By theyear 2000 an estimated 650 million people will crowd into 60 cities of five million or morewthree-quarters of them in the developing world. Only a single city in developed countries——Tokyo, which will have 24 million people——is expected to be among the global top five;London, ranked second in 1950 with ten million people, will not even make 2000's top 25. In places where rates of natural population increase exceed three per cent annuallywmeaning much of the developing countries——that alone is enough to double a city's populationwithin 20 years. But equally powerful are the streams of hopeful migrants from the countryside.More often than not, even the most horrible urban living conditions are an improvement onwhatever the migrants have left behind. What confronts and shocks urban planners is the serious effect of these trends. Therehave never been cities 'of 30 million people, let alone ones dependent on roads, sewer and watersupplies barely adequate for urban areas a tenth that size. The great urban industrial growth of Europe and America in the nineteenth and twentiethcenturies sustained the cities that it helped produce. But in today's swelling cities, indeveloping countries, the flood of new arrivals far outstrips the supply of jobs——particularly asmodern industries put much value on technology rather than manpower. So it will be virtuallyimpossible to find permanent employment for 30 to 40 per cent of the 1,000 million new cityresidents.
