Some input for speaking

Listen to the woman's election speech, take notes (slide 1)

Read the information on the following slides (slides 2, 3)

In 2017, 4.1 billion people were living in urban areas.

  

This means over half of the world (55%) live in urban settings. The UN estimates this milestone event – when the number of people in urban areas overtook the number in rural settings – occurred in 2007.

68% of the world population projected to live in urban areas by 2050, says UN

"Projections show that urbanization, the gradual shift in residence of the human population from rural to urban areas, combined with the overall growth of the world’s population could add another 2.5 billion people to urban areas by 2050, with close to 90% of this increase taking place in Asia and Africa, according to a new United Nations data set launched today."
