Abstract

[In this chapter, I paint a broad-brush backdrop for the rest of the volume. Following a brief look at the shifting trends in the so-called urban-rural balance of the world population based primarily on UN data, I take a look at the Asian megacities by noting some problematic definitional issues that affect the comparability of such data. An overview of the diverse patterns of megacity growth and individual population and economic development (GDP) projections rounds out this chapter.]
