GLOBAL POPULATION & MOBILITY
THE GLOBAL CITY
- also called world city or sometimes alpha city or world
center, is a city which is primary node in the global economic network.
GLOBAL
DEMOGRAPHY
GLOBAL DEMOGRAPHY
DEMOGRAPHY
- is the study of human populations – their size, composition
and distribution across space – and the process through which
populations change. Births, deaths and migration are the 'big three'
of demography, jointly producing population stability or change.
OBJECTIVES OF DEMOGRAPHY
The scientific nature of demography proves the
following four objectives of demography.
• To achieve knowledge about the size, composition,
organization and distribution of the population.
• To describe the past evolution present distribution and
future changes in the population of an area.
• To enquire the trends of population and its relationships
with the different aspects of social organization in an
area.
• To protect the future demographic evaluation and its
probable consequences.
GLOBAL
MIGRATION
GLOBAL MIGRATION
- a situation in which people
go to live in foreign countries,
especially in order to find work:
Most global migration is from
developing countries to developed
ones.
GLOBAL MIGRATION TYPES
• Internal Migration
• Immigration
• Population Transfer
• Impelled Migration
• Step Migration
• Chain Migration
• Intercontinental
• Intra-continental
• Interregional
• Rural-Urban Migration
• Seasonal Migration
• Return Migration
LARGEST MIGRATION IN THE
HISTORY
The largest migration in history was the so-called
Great Atlantic Migration from Europe to North America, the
first major wave of which began in the 1840s with mass
movements from Ireland and Germany.
MAIN CAUSES OF MIGRATION
• Environmental
• Economic
• Cultural
• Political
• Social
2 FACTORS OF MIGRATION
Push Factors – These are reasons for leaving a place,
which is called emigrating, because of certain
difficulties like food shortage, war, flood, calamities,
etc.
Ex.
• Unemployment
• Insecurity
• Scarcity of Land
• Political Instability
• Drought and Famine
Pull Factors – These are reasons for moving into a

TOWARDS A
SUSTAINABLE WORLDS
TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE WORLDS
In a Sustainable World people (present and future
generations) have equal opportunities to take their share
of the STW artifacts. But societies (per continent,
country, region, city, etc) have also different starting
positions.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Is the organizing principle for meeting human
development goals while simultaneously sustaining the
ability of natural systems to provide the natural
resources and ecosystem services based upon which
the economy and society depend. The desired result is a
state of society where living conditions and resources
are used to continue to meet human needs without
undermining the integrity and stability of the natural
system. Sustainable development can be defined as
development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations
to meet their own needs.
GOALS
The Sustainable Development Goals are the
blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable
future for all. They address the global challenges we
face, including those related to poverty, inequality,
climate change, environmental degradation, peace and
justice.
4 KEY FACTORS FOR THE
GOALS
• New Global Development Goals Must Look to the Future
• Goals Need to Be Multi-Dimensional and Universal
• Goals Should Be Few, Focused, and Simple
• Goals Must Belong to Everyone
FIVE EXAMPLES OF SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
• Solar Energy
• Wind Energy
• Crop Rotation
• Efficient Water Fixtures
• Green Space
SUSTAINABLE FOOD SECURITY
To position the concept of sustainability within
the context of food security. An overview of the
interrelationships between food security and
sustainability based on a non-systematic literature
review and informed discussions based principally on a
quasi-historical approach from meetings and reports.
TYPES OF SUSTAINABLE FOOD
SECURITY
• Close the yield gap
• Use Fertilizer More Efficiently
• Raise Low Water Productivity
• Target Food for Direct Consumption
• Reduce Food Waste
SUSTAINABLE CITIZENSHIP
the notion of “sustainable citizenship” and
distinguishes it from more conventional forms of
citizenship. The authors formulate indicators of the
presence of sustainable citizenship among
individuals, in corporations, and in nongovernmental
organizations and apply those indicators in two
empirical studies.
SUSTAINABLE CITIZENSHIP THREE
SIGNIFICANT WAYS
• by addressing concerns about past and current
injustices and their effects on the future (broadened
temporal dimension)
• by addressing responsibilities worldwide, not just within
one’s country (broadened spatial dimension)
• by adding a material dimension that emphasizes
responsibility to nature and animals.
TYPES OF CITIZENSHIP
• Citizenship by birth
• Born within a Country
• Citizenship by Marriage
• Naturalization
• Citizenship by Investment or Economic Citizenship
