A nit with the draft:  the URL is no longer good.  My sense from a quick
look at the site is that the UN is now SELLING these reports!

FWIW, the report at http://www.undp.org/popin/wdtrends/urbanization.pdf
shows a population of 7.15 billion in 2015, and 8.11 billion in 2030.  An
alternative would be to cite the original study as a document rather than a
URL.
