Population density and urbanization |
|
Introduction
| Statistics | Standards
and methods |
The United Nations Population Division uses these data as input for estimating urbanization. Those estimates are presented in World Urbanization Prospects. The United
Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) looks at urbanization
from a different angle. It collects, collates, analyses and reports
data on national, urban/rural and city level in order to monitor
human settlement conditions and trends. UN-HABITAT publishes and
disseminates data through the Compendium of Human Settlement Statistics,
Statistical Annex to the Global report and the State of the World’s
Cities Report 2001. |
