There are many reasons for such phenomenon to cite a few:
1. Migration
2. Outsourcing
3. Cheap labor
4. Big Growth Possibility

People from rural areas of a poor country tends to migrate to the cities to find job. And because the labor in the first world countries are extremely expensive, multi-national companies tends to outsoure some of its required services or even tranfer thier factories or headquarters to countries like India, China and the Philippines for cheap labor, greater growth possibility and ofcourse bigger profit. And such demand for labor stimulates migration to cities, making exponential growth both in population and economy.
