Global study shows uneven urbanization among large cities in the last two decades

Green Car Congress

Cities in the low-income and lower-middle-income countries had the highest urban population growth on average, but were substantially lagging behind in BUA expansion and infrastructure development, resulting in serious urban problems such as slums and crowding. By 2050, the global population is expected to soar to 9.7

How Ted Hoff Invented the First Microprocessor

Cars That Think

then based in Mountain View, he realized that silicon technology had advanced to the point that, with careful engineering, a complete central processor could fit on a chip. Early Neural Networks Hoff liked the engineering courses at Rensselaer, but not the narrow focus of the college itself. While a research manager at Intel Corp.,
