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?
