Agenda 21 calls for governments to create population programs, and policies, that bring about a demographic transition, and encourages governments to concentrate on activities aimed at facilitating the transition from rural to urban lifestyles. (Ch. 7, Sec. 19) As stated earlier, people will be forced off of their land, by an increase in the cost of government services (water, sanitation, waste collection, roads, etc.), and directed to urban areas where all households, and land, are collectively owned, and accessed. These urban areas that people will be forced to move into are referred to, in Agenda 21, as sustainable human settlements, and Chapter 7 of the document is dedicated completely to this idea.
