Rural-urban migration and natural growth: In spite of the importance of the rural-urban migration most urban growth today stems from natural increase of the urban population. Many policymakers try to prevent urban growth by discouraging rural- urban migration, with tactics such as evicting squatters and denying them service. Advances in social development and making education universally available will, amongst others, enable women to avoid unwanted fertility and reduce the main factor in the growth of urban population – natural increase.
The „urbanization of poverty“ and the expansions of slums Mike Davis Until recently, rural settlements were the epicenter of poverty. As the developing world becomes more urban, the “locus of poverty” shifts to cities. Many developing countries generate not enough jobs to meet the demands of the growing population. Many of the new poor urbanites will live in informal settlements or in slums and will suffer from overcrowding and environmental degradation.
