The World Economic and Social Survey 2013 calls for new ways to meet the needs of city populations. More than 6.5 billion people are expected to be living in cities by 2050.
Most new city dwellers will be in developing countries. The United Nations says the effect on limited resources in many countries will be huge. The World Economic and Social Survey points to the increasing demand for energy, water, sanitation, public services, education and health care.
The world population is expected to rise to more than 9 billion by 2050. 2/3 of all people are expected to live in cities. The United Nations says about 80% of this growing urban population will be found in Africa and Asia.
The report says sustainable development of urban areas requires coordination and investments to deal with important issues. These include land-use, food security, job creation and transportation.联合国发出警告，称全球尚未做好应对城市快速增长的准备，并在（其发布的）《2013年世界经济和社会概览》中呼吁寻求满足城市人口需求的新办法。预计到2050年，世界城市人口将达65亿之众。
联合国表示，发展中国家将涌现大量的新增城市人口，这将对许多国家的有限资源产生巨大的影响。《世界经济和社会概览》指出，全球对能源、水资源、环境卫生、公共服务、教育和医疗保健方面的需求将不断增长。
预计到2050年，全球人口将超过90亿，其中三分之二的人口都集中在城市。联合国表示，80%的城市新增人口将来自非洲与亚洲。
该报告还指出，城市地区的可持续发展需要通过协调和投资来处理许多重要的问题，例如土地利用、粮食安全、创造就业机会以及交通运输等。
