[...] In of the world's population lived in urban areas. By 2050, it is expected that this percentage will reach 70%. The combination of the continued growth of the urban population and the possible catch-up of the rural population until approximately 3.4 billion inhabitants before decreasing. Urban growth in absolute value The world's urban population increased from 0.75 billion in 1950 to over 4.2 billion in 2020 and is expected to be around 6.7 billion in 2050. This not only illustrates continued urbanization, but also that in parallel, the rural population did not immediately decrease, but rather reached its peak before declining. [...]
[...] As Moriconi-Ebrard notes: the difference between these two extremes is not only size but also all the consequences that follow, which include supply, transportation, and territorial planning. In addition, the largest cities are faced with broader management problems of spaces and services, while the smallest municipalities are more likely to see the main human purpose of the problem. Proposed Typology: Possible Table Synthesis Urbanization, in its diversity, manifests distinct forms and dynamics, which depend on a certain number of characteristics, including the size and functions of the city.

On the other hand, most Asian and African countries are still in phase III and are characterized by high intra-urban birth rates. Urban Transition and Demographic Transition There is also a close relationship between, on the one hand, urbanization rates and, on the other hand, demographic transition rates, where the rate of economic and social development is reversed by a drop in birth rates, with a decrease in the number of newborns being born. [...]
[...] The study of the everyday has discovered another side of geography as well. At a descriptive analysis level, the study of geography focuses on the observation and interpretation of urban landscapes. The political and social contexts are also known behind this construction and this includes the challenges of making municipal policies, laws of power and circumstances of social equity. As a result, the city is revealed not only as a physical configuration in formation, but also a dynamic human structure. [...]
