development(figure), China has now become the world's second largest economy. The level of urbanization of China is highly elevated with the rural population rushing into the cities in the passing years. According to the statistics released by the national bureau of statistic(NBS), the urbanization rates of China in 1953,1964,1982,1990,200 and 2010 were 12.84%, 17.58%,20.43%, 25.84%, 35.39% and 49.68% respectively. In 2011, the urbanization rate exceeded 50% ；in 2016, it raised to 57.35% (Figure). In 2016, the urban
As population grows, there is more demand for household products. Families and children are made at the age of 22,3 (Ibid). Additionally, Cities are increasing in size, with Jakarta as the main economic hub, as Indonesian urbanization rate is growing. Research by The World Bank Indonesia (2014) is expecting that Indonesia’s total urban population will reach 182,6 million by 2025.

Disappointed deeply, I strongly believed that it was urbanization and industrialization that harmed environment, and as years progressed I realized that it is rather our ideas for growth negligent of nature, environment and future of next generations which is the real threat.

three times of the world average because of water-intensive industrial structure, outdated technologies, low reuse rate, and wastefulness [24]. The situation of water crisis is further aggravated by the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization, as well as uneven natural water distribution [25]. The municipal wastewater reclamation rate in China was 10.47 % in 2005 and less than 10.83 % in 2010 much lower than that in developed countries (i.e. 70 to 80 %) [7,18,26]. Table 2.1 shows the
