The Interaction between Local Employment Development and Corporate Social Responsibility
Realising Urban Potential: Are donors keeping pace with rapid urbanisation? For the first time in history, more than half of the world's population lives in urban areas. Urbanisation is taking place on a massive scale in low- and middle-income nations, and around 60% of the worls's people are expected to be living in cities in 2030. Urbanisation is characterised by the massive expansion of informal settlements and strains on existing urban work, land, services and infrastructure.
