The last century marks a major urban development and urbanization trends around the world, because during this period, most of the world's population for their accommodation have chosen the city rather than in the countryside. Today, more than 50 per cent of the planet's 7
billion people have chosen to live in towns and cities than in villages and countryside. Consequently, one of the most pressing issues not only in the world, but also in Latvia is the
role of the city on economic development.
