英国《新科学人》杂志 11 月 18 日文章，原题：全球 4/5 的人口如今居住在城市地区 根据联合国经济和社 会事务部18日发布的《2025年世界城市化展望》报告，全球如今有超过80%的人口生活在城镇或城市 中，这一比例还将继续上升，这凸显出确保城市环境对人类健康和地球都有益的重要性。 2018年联合国发布的《世界城市化前景》报告中写道，全球有55%的人口居住在城市地区，但这一估算 依赖于各国对"城市"与"乡村"截然不同的定义。例如，丹麦将仅有200名居民的定居点视为城市，而日 本的标准则是人口达到5万，这使得全球城市化的整体图景变得模糊不清。 为了获得更清晰的数据，联合国人口事务官员萨拉·赫托格及其团队首次为所有国家统一设定了界定标 准：城市需至少拥有5万人口，人口密度不低于每平方公里1500人；城镇需至少有5000名居民，人口密 度不少于每平方公里300人；其余地区则归类为农村。 梅凯利强调，城市化的一些问题，并非意味着应逆转城市化进程或禁止城市居住。"这份报告告诉我 们，当下亟须思考如何提升城市宜居性。例如增加绿化覆盖，从而获得随之而来的健康效益。" （作者 卡丽莎·王，朱迪译） 城市化进程中，不得不 ...
