Which of the following is the correct statement about cities and their growth rates?

• B. By the end of this decade most of the fastest growing cities will be in the East
• C. Currently all the fast-growing cities are in the developed countries
• D. The Middle East region is experiencing fastest growth rate in the urban centres compared to all other regions

To remember global development vectors: Urbanization growth rate is inversely proportional to a nation's current maturity. Developed Western cities are already saturated and stable. Developing Eastern and Asian cities are in their peak demographic transitions, making the East the primary global epicenter of rapid urban expansion.
