P15 高度工业化国家The urban population in the HighlyIndustrialized Countries (HIC) is projectedto be 547 million, or 84 percent of itstotal population of 649 million, by 2020.Today, urban areas account for 80 percentof the total population of 597 million. Onaverage, municipalities receive about US$2,906 percapita in revenue per year.预计到2020年，高度工业化国家的城市人口数将达到5.47亿，占到总人口数6.49亿的84%。今天，高度工业化国家的总人口数为5.97亿，城市人口占了其中的80%。城市居民每年的人均收入为2906美元。Highly Industrialized Region Population:1980-2020高度工业化地区人口：1980-2020Total Population总人口数Urban Population城市人口数Source：UN,World Urbanization Prospects，1999来源：联合国《世界城市化展望》，1999In most highly industrialized countries, the urbantransformation has nearly stabilized. Therefore,cities no longer deal with the effects of rapidurbanization,but rather with a combination of other demographicissues and the impacts of global trends:increasing internationalization of metropolitanregions; changes in the distribution of responsibilitiesbetween the public and the private sectors; a generallystronger role for a few major cities within eachcountry; ageing populations and the related problemsof access to health care and pensions; internationalmigration; and the highly detrimental impactsof social and economic polarization. In several industrializedcountries these trends are compounded bythe movement of jobs to newly industrializing regionsand by rising urban poverty among vulnerablegroups, further fuelling polarization trends.大多数的高度工业化国家城镇化进程都很稳定，因此，它们都不再需要应对快速城镇化的问题，却需要处理一系列的人口问题以及全球化带来的影响：越来越国际化的大都市、政府部门和私营部门之间职责分配的变化、每个国家几个主要大城市的地位日益凸显、人口老龄化以及随之产生的卫生保健和养老金的相关问题、国际移民问题、社会和经济两级分化产生的巨大危害等。在一些工业化国家，人才和工作向着新兴的工业化地区流动，城市中弱势群体的贫困问题加剧，导致了两极分化日趋严重。In nearly all industrial countries, rural populationsare still decreasing; a trend expected to continue overthe coming decades. In the past half-century, citieshave changed from fairly concentrated and identifiableentities into amorphous areas, sprawling intotheir hinterlands without visible borders betweentown and country.
