Description

For better or worse, global population is increasing by about 1.5 percent per year, a growth rate--should it persist--that in less than half a century will double the number of people who live on the planet. Few will argue with the fact that for any nation--or the world as a whole--population growth is directly linked to both economic development and stresses on the natural environment. What is remarkable is the degree of agreement that exists today regarding not only the problem of rapid population growth, but also the kinds of investments that will be needed to bring about a more stable global population.

Increasing population requires a large amount of resource which includes land and energy that new architecture technologies and new energies are searching to solve the problem, also produces plenty of pollutants and waste that environment issue is taken into account.

Because of lacking of land, skyscraper and other architecture technologies are used to build enough room to accept increasing office. As another result of land tension,a systematic shift from rural to urban living is a significant feature of increasing populations which speed the development of transportation technology and establishing of virtual office.

As long as existing energy drying up and pollution more seriously with increasing population, new energy as soar and tide are developed to fill up the need.
