Introduction:
In 2008, the number of people living in cities for the first time surpassed the global<br /> rural population. The individual who tipped the scale might be a baby born to a city<br /> dweller or an adult migrating from the countryside, but in either case, it's likely that<br /> the newcomer will have arrived in a Third World slum.<br /> <br /> By 2030, an estimated 5 billion of the world's 8.1 billion people will live in cities.<br /> About 2 billion of them will live in slums, primarily in Africa and Asia, lacking<br /> access to clean drinking water and working toilets, surrounded by desperation,<br /> poverty and crime.<br /> <br /> Already these slums are huge. According to Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums,<br /> nearly 80% of Nigeria's urban population, or some 41.6 million people, live in<br /> slums. The comparable numbers in India are 56% and 158.4 million. Many of these<br /> slum dwellers are also squatters, lacking leases or legal title to their homes.<br /> <br /> Many slums function with their own social hierarchies, commerce and a degree of<br /> home-grown government. New migrants to the slums have to pay for the privilege<br /> of living there. In some cases, as in Pakistan and Kenya, the land is public, but local<br /> police forces or corrupt politicians demand ''rent''. In others, as in many Latin<br /> American slums, the newest, poorest arrivals rent space from more-established<br /> squatters. A by-product of this diminishing supply of free land is that new arrivals<br /> move onto more marginal land: steep gullies in Tijuana, vertical hillsides in<br /> Caracas, flood-prone flats in Dhaka.<br /> <br /> Are the slum dwellers really better off than in the villages they fled? In many cases<br /> the answer is unfortunately yes. Most of them leave because they are not able to<br /> survive in their village. In Asian many small farmers become indebted and lost their<br /> land to banks or big landowners.<br /> <br /> The cities give more economic opportunity but life in the slums is extremely tough.<br /> According to the United Nations, slum children in sub-Saharan Africa are more<br /> likely to die from water-borne and respiratory illnesses than rural children, while<br /> women living in slums are more likely to contract HIV than women in the rural<br /> areas. In countries including Egypt, Bangladesh and Guatemala, slum children are<br /> less likely to be enrolled in primary school than their urban counterparts.<br /> Still, the dream of a better life in the city persists. Overall, the world's urban<br /> population is expected to grow at an annual rate of 1.78% until 2030, while rural<br /> communities shrink.
