Brazil’s Growth Pushes Urbanization Rate Towards 90 Percent…RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – OCTOBER 08: The Alemao shanty town is viewed from the Teleferico gondola line on October 8, 2013 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The formerly violent hillside ‘favela’ community recently received the cable car system in an attempt to integrate the community with the surrounding city. Brazil, the fifth largest country in the world geographically, has seen its urban population increase to 87 percent, the highest among the BRIC countries. Some forecasts are calling for Brazil to hit 90 percent urbanization by 2020 as the rural to urban migration continues. By comparison, India’s urban population is 31 percent, China’s 50 percent and Russia’s 73 percent, according to the CIA World Factbook. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
