1. Evolution of Population by Habitat Types
The complex process of industrialisation entailed major changes in living conditions, in the production mode, in
the political regimes, etc., while as a development result, urbanisation got sharper even since the XIX-th Century.
Naturally, depending on the development of industry and on the overall economic progress, different
development stages were covered at lower or higher paces, so that, during 1800 – 1950, the world population
increased 2.7 times, the population of towns increased 29 times, while the village people number only got doubled,
the latter one showing both a relative and an absolute decrease.
