Abstract

The population of urban areas is on the rise, and this ripeness is bringing new and complex changes at global and especially local levels throughout the period (Rana, 2011). The developing countries are on the radar of this rapid population growth (Harris 1998). In the 1990s, the urban population share was only 43% (2.3 billion) and by 2015 it increased to 54% (4 billion) of the total world population (UN-Habitat, 2016). Urban areas are covering only two percent of the total world area but are consuming 75% of its total resources (ADB, 2008).
