What can we learn from an emerging global definition of urbanisation? by Dr. Lewis Dijkstra

The Cañada-Blanch Centre at LSE brings a new Cañada-Blanch Lecture. Dr. Lewis Dijkstra and LSE Professor Vernon Henderson will discuss about the emerging global definition of urbanisation. The Degree of Urbanisation was developed by six international organisations to facilitate international comparisons of urbanisation and the Sustainable Development Goals. This methodology was endorsed by the UN Statistical Commission in 2020. Since this endorsement, a growing number of countries has implemented the definition and a growing amount of data has become available by Degree of Urbanisation. The first part of this presentation will give a brief overview of the methodology, its development and implementation. The second part will show what we can learn from this methodology covering 1) what drives urbanisation, 2) what is its link with economic development and 3) how have cities changed over the last 50 years?
