19.20.21 - The Rise Of Supercities

February 29th, 2008 · No Comments

More than half the people on earth now live in cities. By 2050, it will be more than 2/3 of us. However, we are currently not prepared for life in these intensely urban hubs.

Check out this super cool project, which aim is to study 19 cities with 20 million people to better understand population’s effect on urban and business planning.

The growth of these cities has huge implications in a tremendous variety of global environmental considerations; not least of those is the world’s most precious resource: water. Almost all of these burgeoning supercities are on the coast, and will be affected by rising sea levels.
