Implications of slope climbing of urban expansion on sustainable development
The rapid pace of global urbanization is profoundly reshaping our planet and will have significant implications for global sustainable development. According to the United Nations, urbanization is projected to surge from 56% in 2020 to 67% by 2050, an 11% increase.1 The expanding urban population has led to the conversion of an increasing amount of natural land into urban areas. It is anticipated that by 2030, urban areas across the globe will cover approximately 5.87 million km2, which is double the rate of population growth.
