Urbanization is the growth of cities due to the movement of people from rural areas in search of better jobs and better living conditions. All over the world, cities are growing because people are moving out of rural areas and seek work, new living opportunities and a future for their children. In 1800, only 2% of people lived in cities. In 1950, only 30% of the world's population was considered city dwellers.

The problem is, the urban population is growing faster than infrastructure is developing. Many urban areas are growing at the expense of rural decline, forcing residents to move to cities in search of employment. Usually, newcomers fail to find what was the purpose of resettlement, and they become the urban poor. Local leaders and international experts are trying to find answers to the questions: “Where will these new residents live?", "What schools will their children go to?" and "How will garbage be collected?".
