1/ This chapter draws heavily on four background papers prepared for WCED: 1. Burton, 'Urbanization and Development'. 1985; J.E. Hardoy and D. Satterthwaite, 'Shelter. Infrastructure and Services in Third World Cities', 1985 (printed in Habitat International, Vol. 10, No. 4, 1986); J.E. Hardoy and D. Satterthwaite, 'Rethinking the Third World City, 1986: and I Sachs, 'Human Settlements: Resource and Environmental Management', 1985.
2/ See J. Jacobs, Cities and the Wealth of Nations (New York: Random House, 1984).
3/ UN. The Growth in the World's Urban and Rural Population 1920-1980, Population Studies No. 44 (New York: 1969): UN. Urban, Rural and 4 City Populations 1950-2000 (as assessed in 1978), Population Studies No. 68 (New York: 1980).
4/ The expansion of 'city' or 'metropolitan area' boundaries accounts for some of the population growth in Table 9-2. The UN projections are based on extrapolating past trends. This method often provides a poor guide to future trends, especially long-term ones. But the data base with which to make better projections is not available.
