According to a report called "Social Policy: abilities and rights" by the National Statistics Office, according to the 2010 census, the Dominican Republic's urban population has increased to 7,013,575, which represents 74% of the total population. However, it attributes the increase to real estate and private factors, not to any state-orchestrated measures or rules.
They state that in the last 50 years the Dominican Republic has followed a growth model that has seen almost a third of the country's population concentrated in the capital and the metropolitan areas, reflected over the last few years by a process of conurbation in Haina, San Cristobal, Boca Chica and Villa Mella.
