Sustainable cities and communities

Urbanization is a global phenomenon: While 30 percent of people lived in the world's urban centers in the mid-20th century, the figure has now risen to 57 percent and is expected to increase to around 60 percent by 2030. There are already more than 34 metropolitan regions ("megacities"), each with more than 10 million inhabitants.
