"Population
in China expanded rapidly during the 1980s, despite a modest birthrate
and declines in fertility rates and family size. Economic reform led
to fast economic growth and increased mobility, which resulted in
divergent regional rates of population growth. Southern coastal
provinces and the minority regions of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Ningxia have
the highest rates. Population is heavily concentrated in eastern China,
where densities have increased steadily during the socialist period.
Approximately one-quarter of the population lives in urban centers.
Despite enforcement of draconian measures to reduce population growth,
China will probably have 1.3 billion people by [the year]
2000."

Trends in recent urbanization in
Algeria are reviewed. The authors note that Algeria, which used to lag
behind its neighbors, is now more urbanized than either Morocco or
Tunisia. The rapid increase in the size of the urban population is
recognized as a serious problem, as the rural-urban migration that is
the primary cause contributes both to a decline in agricultural output
and to the overloading of the employment and residential capacities of
the cities.

"In this
paper we have shown that the suburbanization process [in the Federal
Republic of Germany] has on the whole slackened since the beginning of
the 1970s, despite cycles of intensification, and that it
simultaneously spread further within the regions. We can also record
that during the 1980s suburbanization decreased less in intensity in
the southern regions with large metropolitan areas than in the northern
agglomerations, which had a comparatively unfavorable economic
development in the 1980s." Consideration is given to economic factors;
interregional migration, with a focus on the city of Hamburg; migration
(especially from the German Democratic Republic); and the aging of the
suburban population. Data are from the censuses of 1970 and 1987 and
the housing surveys for 1968 and 1987.

"This chapter explores
urbanization in China, beginning with a brief discussion of the
situation as revealed by the 1982 census, and then turning to an
assessment of policies introduced in the 1980s to affect urbanization
levels and to transform the economic structure of the countryside.
Particular attention is given to the position of small towns in these
developments, but these need to be seen within the broader context of
the positions of cities of various size classes. Integral to these
analyses is the role of various forms of population mobility and the
transformation of the population from agricultural to nonagricultural
workers." Some growth projections for China's towns and cities are
included, and the consequences of that growth are discussed.

prosperity....Following [the] introduction, I offer a brief history of

the demographic processes entailed in urbanization and urban
growth--mainly natural increase and rural-to-urban migration....The
fourth section of the essay investigates the factors affecting the
distribution of population between rural and urban residence: the
'degree of urbanization' or the 'urban/rural balance'....The fifth
section considers the prospects of very large cities....The last
section explores the factual and logical connections between
urbanization and (a) energy consumption and (b) environmental
degradation."
