These projects are targeted to increase environmental infrastructure to contend with the rapid industrialization and population growth that has strained the region for decades.
Those countries that stayed at this import industrialization substitution stage stagnated economically.
Yet they had no time to rest on their laurels as industrialization disrupted this formation almost as soon as it had been created.
For instance, though perhaps unlikely, governments of the world could act together to stabilize industrialization's effect on the environment.
Population increase, economic growth and industrialization, increasing urban employment opportunities, rural-urban migration and advances in transportation and technology are the main constituents of this process.
Unlike the industrialization stage, in a postindustrial society, manufacturing industries give way to knowledge-based industries, such as finance, computing, information technology, and biotechnology.
However, neither the financial resources nor the technology were available, and therefore, heavy and chemical industrialization during this period was not very successful.
Industrialization and urbanization also meant a higher degree of independence for the childless elderly in some ways.
