Luxembourg is already a highly urbanized nation. According to the UN World Urbanization Prospects Report, 90% of Luxembourg's population lives in cities. Of these Luxembourg city is the most dominant with about 1/5 of the nation's total population. It is expected that even more of the nation's population will be in urban centers by 2050 with 94%. This continual shift toward urbanization and Luxembourg's small geographic size could mean we could see the formation of another city state like nation such as Monaco and Singapore. However, with a relatively slower growing population and the reinvention of its cities, Luxembourg may be able to balance and urbanizing population and the preservation wild spaces.

94%! That must be close to being the most urbanized country.
