Dutch term or phrase: verstedelijkt
Please help me to find right equivalent. Failed to find the verb *verstedelijken* for the sentence: "De wereld verstedelijkt nog steeds"

More context:
Nieuwe veredelingstechnieken
De wereld verstedelijkt nog steeds. Landbouwgebieden maken plaats voor steden. Tegelijk blijft de wereldbevolking doorgroeien. En dat schept een probleem. Er moet meer voedsel verbouwd worden op minder grond.
