Urban population has passed half of the total population in 2007. In 2050 the urban
population is predicted to be %70 (6,5 billion) of the total population. (Source: World Bank, OECD)
Urbanization and industrialization increase the energy demand and carbon
emissions. Until 2050 the fossile fuel rezerves are predicted to be used up.
