Description
The world's population has been steadily increasing since its origins. From 5 billion in about 1988 to 6 billion by 2000, and then 7 billion eleven years later, the pace of growth has accelerated over time. By 2025, we are expected to reach 8 billion people. Professor Danny Dorling examines this trend and what it means for our future. He explores how we will deal with scarcity of resources, how cities will grow and become more female, and why a population decline after 10 billion is the change that should be prepared for. This book offers a tool kit to prepare for the future and to help us ask the right questions about the world's population and its implications.
