	<onlyinclude>'''Urban population''' ~~generally~~ refers to the population inhabiting areas that have a greater population density than rural areas and are overall more compact than rural areas. </onlyinclude>		<onlyinclude>'''Urban population''' refers to the population inhabiting areas that have a greater population density than rural areas and are overall more compact than rural areas. </onlyinclude> In simple terms, it's the people living in cities.

	As well as being more densely populated than rural areas, in wealthier countries there is generally a higher percentage of people living in urban centers than on rural land. Thus, the percentage of people living in urban centers compared to the [[rural population]] can be an indication of the overall development and wealth of a country. Going forward, as [[world population]] increases, organizations like the United Nations predict that the percentage of people living in urban centers will steadily increase as people migrate from rural areas into cities.<ref> United Nations Population Division.
