Text: Rural exodus

1- Fifty years ago, most people lived in rural areas. But the world has changed. By some point next year,
more than half of all people will live in cities, for the first time in history. So says the most recent
estimate from the United Nations.

2- City life is not always a bad thing, but many experts worry about this process of urbanization. A new
report from the Worldwatch Institute says it is having a huge effect on human health and the quality of
the environment. The environment research group in Washington released its two thousand seven State
of the World's report last week.

3- Of the three billion people who live in cities now, the report says, about one billion live in unplanned
settlements. These are areas of poverty, slums that generally lack basic services like clean water , or
even permanent housing.

4- The report says inore than sixty million people are added to Cilies and surrounding areas each year,
mostly

in slums in developing countries Molly O'Meara sheehan led the Worlwatch report. She says tne

international community has been to0 slow to recognize the growth of urban poverty. Policymakers, she

says, need to increase inyestments in education, health care other areas.

The report talks about some successtul eiiorts by 1ocal governments and community groups. For
example.

it says Freetown, Sierra Leone, has established 1arming WIthin the City limits to meet much of its
growino

food demands. In Colombia, engineers have created a bus system in Bogota that report says has helped

reduce air pollution and improve quality of life.

6- Olay Kjorvén heads the environment and Energy Group at the United Nations Development Program,
He

agrees that the link between urban poverty and the environment is serious. But he says governments
also
need to consider why people are moving out of rural areas. Climate change, drought, floods-there are
many

reasons forcing people to leave, he says,

7- Olav Kjorven says the two issues of poverty reduction and the environment have existed side by side,
but

rarely have they connected until now,. He says gouvenments are starting to understand that
environment

collapse is not a natural cost of economic development. Instead, he says, it is hurting the possibility for

growth.
