There is an article in the New York Times today, "Rumbling Across India Toward a New Life in the City"
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/25/world/asia/25migrants.html
"These passengers are also part of a great migration that is changing the world. Goldman Sachs, which has published projections about the Indian economy, predicts that 31 villagers will continue to show up in an Indian city every minute over the next 43 years 700 million people in all. This exodus, with a similar one in China, helped push the world over a historic threshold this year: the planet, for the first time, is more urban than rural."
I want to put this information in some article, but wonder where and how we cover this major event, the worldwide urbanization which is occurring throughout the world?

I guess [[Urbanization#Urbanization_today]] notes this.

It does, and there is a single sentence at the end of [[City#Industrial Age]] that covers this subject.
But the most specific coverage seems to be in [[Urbanization in Africa]]. Which is perhaps not entirely appropriate for information about India.
