Karachi is a relatively young metropolis. The city is about three centuries old, founded as a port by local Hindu merchants and traders. The British conquered the city in 1839, occupied the entire principality of Sindh in 1843 and designated Karachi as headquarters of the territory. The city experienced different phases of growth. When Pakistan came into being in 1947, a large number of refugees entered the city and the population jumped from 435,000 in 1947 to 1,050,000 in 1951. Karachi has remained the primate city of Pakistan, with a high annual growth rate of 5-7 percent per annum (Ahmed 1998). Current estimates suggest that the city has about 17 million inhabitants.Karachi houses 7 per cent of the total population and 23 per cent of the urban population of Pakistan. Its current rate of growth is estimated at around 5 per cent, of which 3 per cent is due to natural increase and 2 per cent to migration from the other parts of the country. Karachi provides 25 per cent of federal revenue and 15 per cent of Pakistan’s gross domestic product (GDP). In addition, 50 per cent of the country’s bank deposits and 72 per cent of all issued capital is contributed by the city (Hasan 2010; CDGK 2008). It houses the country’s largest stock market and about 26 per cent of the total national industrial establishments.

In March 2014 China unveiled plans for a “new type” of urbanisation largely to revamp public service provision. Rapid urbanisation has made public service provision in urban areas imperative. Urban population in China hit 731 million (53% of total population) by end-2013, from about 191 million people (less than 20% of total population) in 1980, representing an average annual growth rate of four per cent.

The rate of urban growth in the United States reached its highestlevel in the twenty years before 1861. Nevertheless in the five preceding decades, 1790 to 1840, those coming just before the railroad age, the cities of the nation grew at a remarkably rapid rate. It is true that during one 10-year period of relatively slow growth, 1810–1820, the city population increased at a pace slightly below that for the total population. But in the other four decades, 1790–1800, 1800–1810, 1820–1830, and 1830–1840, the rate of increase in the number of people living in cities was almost double that for the whole population and exceeded the urban growth rate attained in any post-Civil War decade. This study makes available detailed statistics on urban population changes from 1775 to 1840, directs attention to the differing contributions to urbanization made by four city groups, and notes some of the influences affecting urban population expansion in the years before the railroad became a dominant influence.

Abstract The availability of remote sensing satellite data at various spatial, temporal and spectral resolutions provides enormous opportunity to map the urban sprawl. When coupled with Geographic Information System (GIS) it is possible to evaluate, analyse and integrate large data. We need to understand and quantify the urban sprawl on spatial and temporal scales which forms a basis for better planning and sustainable management of cities and towns. The city of Ranchi has witnessed unprecedented urban growth after assuming the status of a capital of Jharkhand state, India in 2000. The increasing population has put pressure on the natural resources of the city. The urban growth has been in a haphazard manner at the cost of agricultural lands, forest land and open green spaces such as park, garden and recreational forestry. The present study analysed the urban sprawl in Ranchi city, using Landsat data from 1976, 2002 and 2015. The study revealed that the annual urban growth rate was 1.76 ha/yr over the period from 1976 to 2002 whereas the annual growth rate was 2 ha/yr over the period from 2002 to 2015. The northern side of the city has witnessed more expansion in 2002 when compared with the growth in 1976. Increase in urban density was seen at the distances of 3, 4,5,6,7 and 8km between 1976 and 2015 and the rate was higher than 25%.The driving factors of the development were infrastructure, educational and business expansion. Thus, spatial analyses of urban sprawl are a prerequisite for curbing the unplanned urban growth and ensure sustainable living.

O trabalho analisa a diversidade recente (2000 a 2010) da população total do Estado da Bahia, das Microrregiões Geográficas, da população urbana, da população das cidades e da população rural segundo dados oficiais dos Censos Demográficos de 2000 e 2010. As análises demográficas foram espacializadas através da representação cartográfica que se baseia em classificação, priorizando as quebras naturais dos dados. O crescimento da população total do Estado de 7,27%, na última década (ou 0,70% a.a.), foi inferior ao da década anterior e inferior ao do Nordeste e do Brasil. A população urbana cresceu 15,16% (1,42% a.a.), a população das cidades, 14,59% (1,37% a.a.) e a população rural, -8,92% (-0,93% a.a.). As taxas são bastante diversificadas segundo as Microrregiões e os municípios. O crescimento das cidades médias foi superior, em seu conjunto, ao crescimento de Salvador e de sua Região Metropolitana, fato que ocorre pela primeira vez no Estado da Bahia, indicando uma importante redução da primazia da capital e da Região Metropolitana de Salvador. As mudanças em curso são de fundamental importância para orientar a formulação de políticas públicas mais eficientes e justas em toda a extensão do território baiano. Abstract POPULATION GROWTH IN THE STATE OF BAHIA, 2000 TO 2010: A STATISTICALCARTOGRAPHIC CONTRIBUTION The paper examines the recent diversity (2000 to 2010) of the total population of the State of Bahia, micro-regions, urban population, population of cities and the rural population. Official data from Brazilian Censuses of 2000 and 2010 were used. Demographic spatial analyses were produced through the cartographic representation based on natural breaks classification from data. The State’s total population growth of 7.27% in the last decade (or 0.70% p.a.), was lower than the previous decade and is lower than in the Northeast and in Brazil. The urban population grew 15.16% (1.42% p.a.), the population of cities, 14.59% (1.37% p.a.) and the rural population, -8.93% (-0.93% p.a.) The rates are quite diversified according to the micro-regions and municipalities. The average growth of cities was higher than the growth of Salvador and its metropolitan area. It is a fact which occurs for the first time in the State of Bahia and indicates an important reduction of the primacy of the capital and the metropolitan region of Salvador. Ongoing changes are of fundamental importance to guide the formulation of public policies more efficient and fair throughout the territory of Bahia.

Cities in China have developed rapidly since economic reform. Meanwhile, mass incidents have happened more frequently. The annual growth rate of mass incidents has exceeded that rate of urban population growth and mass incidents have become a serious threaten to further urbanization in China. We first analyse the reason of rapid growth number of mass incidents, then point out that job supplement will trigger severer mass incidents and the development mode of sacrificing environment for economic growth will incur more mass incidents, both of which will be obstacles for China’s urbanization. Therefore we suggest that Chinese government should implement institution reform to overcome these obstacles.
