World population up 40% by '50
By AP UNITED NATIONS -- The world's population will increase by 40% to 9.1 billion in 2050 but virtually all the growth will be in the developing world, especially in the 50 poorest countries, the UN Population Division said. The division's revision yesterday of earlier estimates said the population in less-developed countries is expected to swell from 5.3 billion today to 7.8 billion in 2050. By contrast, the population of richer developed countries will remain mostly unchanged, at 1.2 billion.

With lots of deserts where they live, they could build huge housing developments mostly submerged in the ground. Along with a source of water and half buried manufacturing plants, they could make a viable community. Building in the desert also means a more minimal impact on wildlife. I know there is just as much wildlife in most deserts on earth, but there are vast areas of nothingness on every continent too.
