Household energy use and environment in Asian cities: An introduction

Author

Abstract

In the poorer countries of the world, where energy consumption per capita is lower than in the industrialized nations, the process of rapid urbanization is a strong feature of the dynamic of economic development. Population growth rates in cities are consistently higher than in the countryside, due both to higher natural increases and to net migration. Although the majority of Asia's population is still rural, this dominance is expected to shift sometime around the turn of the century. Already, developing countries in Asia have at least 16 cities with populations exceeding five million persons. And the development of megalopolises, which link several large cities in a closely related urban region, is emerging as a typical evolutionary pattern (e.g., in Western Java or Taiwan).1
