Abstract

The world has entered the new millennium with globalization, cultural development and dialogue among civilizations forming the bases for the new world order and international relations. At the same time, the twenty-first century is characterized by rapid, unprecedented urbanization. Today, almost half of the world"s population live in urban areas, and the rapid increase in urban population is expected to continue, especially in developing countries. The powerful forces of globalization are further propelling this historic transition, the central challenge of the 21 century will be how to make both urbanization and globalization work for the benefit of all human kind, instead of leaving billions behind. world cities will be especially influential in shaping the development of the global economy. Technological advances and easy access to information will enable cities to create more efficient ways of production, while capitalizing on the cheapest sources of materials. Urbanization in a "Globalizing World" is an authoritative assessment of the three most significant forces shaping the world today. It is essential to understand that urbanization, civilization and globalization are positive forces of development in the 21 century. Cities are the centers of political power and industrial might, higher education and technological innovation, artistic achievement and medical advances. They are the great markets of today, the hubs of specialization and interaction, the sources of news and information, the suppliers of services, and the providers of sports and entertainment. In short, cities are the crucibles of civilization. Cities of the future have more freedom. Greater freedom will be enjoyed by individuals and institutions because they will be networked electronically. Wired interactions will supplement face to face contacts. This will affect urban lifestyles as people can work at home, shop by computers and travel with credit cards. Urbanization is not evenly distributed around the globe. In western Europe, the United States, Canada, and Japan, four out of five citizens live in cities or towns. But in India and China, the figure is closer to three out of ten, but even where urbanization still is low, people are moving to the towns and cities. Globalization has not been a boom to all cities, While it has brought new opportunities and wealth to some cities, it has marginalized others, the marginalized city can be found anywhere in the world, but especially in Africa. It lacks the requisite information infrastructure and is generally not able to plug into the global economy.
