Urban Settings
Introduction
In 2014, a total of 54% of the world population lived in urban areas, a ratio that is expected to increase to 66% by 2060. Due to this global urbanisation trend, it does not come as a surprise that most refugees and Internally Displaced People (IDPs) seek a place to live in cities. The Internally Displaced Monitoring Centre (IDMC) estimates that 80% of the IDPs live outside of camps, while for refugees, figures reach 60% (adapted from THE GLOBAL CCCM CLUSTER 2014).
