What would be the best title for the passage?
----- Nội dung ảnh -----
For the first time in history more than half the world’s population resides in cities. The world’s urban population now stands at 3.7 billion people, and this number is expected to double by 2050. The trend towards urbanisation is only getting faster and 96 percent of all urbanisation by 2030 will occur in the developing world. This global shift toward a more urban global population has profound implications for a range of issues including food, water, and energy consumption. The move towards urban concentration is a fact, and as city life becomes a reality for an ever-greater share of the world’s population, governments, companies, and civil society must recognize that they are largely unequipped to deal with city-level problems.
Urban growth presents an opportunity to connect more people to water and electricity, making them healthier and more productive. It also presents the risk of overwhelming various public goods, including power, infrastructure, health, and education as these systems adjust to increased demand. Urbanisation can be a positive, but if poorly managed will only amplify existing challenges. The recent Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa was an urban phenomenon, and was spread faster by poor municipal level systems, other risks, including gang violence and extremism leading to terrorism, can become worse in urban settings if not properly addressed.
