A Report by the UN Population Fund
By Lisa Schlein and Joe De Capua
June 28, 2007
For humanity’s sake, developing world must prepare for soaring urbanization. In 2008, the world reaches an invisible but momentous milestone: for the first time in history, more than half its human population, 3.3 billion people, will be living in urban areas. By 2030, this is expected to swell to almost five billion. Many of the new urbanites will be poor. Their future, the future of cities in developing countries throughout the world, the future of humanity itself, all depend very much on decisions made now in preparation for this growth.
While the world’s urban population grew very rapidly (from 220 million to 2.8 billion) over the 20th century, the next few decades will see an unprecedented scale of urban growth in the developing world. This will be particularly notable in Africa and Asia where the urban population will double between 2000 and 2030: that is, the accumulated urban growth of these two regions during the whole span of history will be duplicated in a single generation. By 2030, the towns and cities of the developing world will make up 81 percent of our urban humanity.
The United Nation Population Fund, UN agency, says in a new report that humanity will have to undergo a “revolution in thinking” to deal with a doubling of urban populations in Africa and Asia. The UN continues to say that the number of people in African and Asian cities will grow by 1.7 billion by the year 2030. And worldwide, the number of city dwellers will reach five billion or 60 per cent of the world’s population. The report ‘State of the World Population 2007: Unleashing the Potential of Urban Growth’ says globally, all future population growth will take place in cities, nearly all of it in Africa, Asia and Latin America. “What’s more, the growth marks “a decisive shift from rural to urban growth, changing a balance that has lasted for millennia.”
The United Nations also warns that a doubling of urban populations in Africa and Asia by 2030 will have harmful consequences if governments do not prepare now for the coming growth. In this year's State of World Population report, the UN Population Fund says this unprecedented wave of urbanization offers potential opportunities or dismal failures. The report explains that next year, for the first time in history, more than half the world's population will be living in cities. It says that by 2030 almost five billion people will be urban dwellers. It says the populations in Af ...
Megacities provide some of the world’s most dynamic and stimulating places to live. But they also bring their own specific challenges. The maturity level of a city can help identify the most appropriate ICT solutions.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Lesson 7 urbanization*
1. Entry Task:
1.) How do you think the population of Dubai
has changed over time?
2.) What causes a cities population to
increase?
3.) What causes a cities population to
decrease?
2. Objectives:
The students will be able to describe the concept of

and challenges of urbanization.

6. Urbanization refers to the increasing number of people
that live in urban areas. It predominantly results in the
physical growth of urban areas, be it horizontal or
vertical.
When a city’s population grows quickly, it is called
urbanization.
The United Nations projected that half of the world's
population would live in urban areas at the end of 2008.
INVESTIGATION: Was this prediction accurate?
7. 12 Facts about Urbanization in Asia:
In 1950, only 30% of the world population was urban. In 2000, 47% of the
world population was urban. More than half of the world’s population will
be living in urban areas by 2008.
Almost 180,000 people are added to the urban population each day. Most
are rural migrants.
It is estimated that there are almost a billion poor people in the world.
Over 750 million live in urban areas without adequate shelter and basic
services.
By 2030, Asia and Africa will both have higher numbers of urban dwellers
than any other major area of the world.
5.8% of children living in poor areas of cities die before reaching the age
of five years.
29% of cities in poor parts of the world have areas considered
inaccessible or dangerous to the police.
Sources: WorldBank.org ; UnitedNations.org; Asian Development Index
8. In cities in poor parts of the world, one out of every four households lives in
poverty.
Families with the lowest incomes are most at risk of their children being
malnourished and dying early, have less access to health services, and also
have less access to clean water.
Cities offer young people with higher levels of education greater
opportunities than they do for the less educated. Education, especially for
females, is a key factor linked to success in urban areas.
The number of people living in poor housing conditions increased from
about 777 to 827 million in 2010 due to rapid urbanization in Asia.
Over ½ of the people in the world live on less than $2 per day.
Eleven of the world's 20 most polluted cities are in Asia. Air pollution
contributes to the premature death of half a million Asians each year.
