  5. In 1950 New York was the only metropolitan area in the world with a population over 10 million. By 1994, 14 world cities had populations greater than 10 million. Four of these cities were in economically developed countries; the rest were in countries still developing modern economies. By 2015 experts predict that the population of the following cities will exceed 20 million: Tokyo, Mumbai, Lagos, Shanghai, Jakarta, São Paulo, and Karachi. Of these cities only Tokyo is in an economically developed country Section 1-5

  6. Population Growth The population of Earth is now about 6.70 billion and is expected to reach 7 billion by 2010. People inhabit about 30 percent of the planet’s land. Section 1-6 (pages 75–77)

  7. Population Growth (cont.) • Growth RatesWorld population is growing rapidly because birthrates have not declined as fast as death rates. Section 1-7 • Improved diet and health care have lowered the death rate in many places. • In economically developing countries, the birthrate is often very high.  • Wealthy industrialized countries, however, tend to have a low birthrate.
